What Does Microneedling Do to Your Skin?

Are you looking to refresh your skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines or scars, or simply achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion? If so, microneedling could be the perfect solution. At Faces By Bae, we specialise in microneedling in London, with this treatment designed to rejuvenate and repair the skin from within, with visible results and minimal downtime.

What is Microneedling?

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a popular skincare treatment that uses a specialised device called a microneedling pen. This pen contains ultra-fine needles that create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in the surface of your skin. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin – key components for healthy, firm, youthful skin.

Over time, microneedling helps to smooth out the texture of your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and scars. Whether you struggle with acne scarring, uneven tone, stretch marks, or early signs of ageing, microneedling provides an effective, non-invasive solution to enhance your complexion.

What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling targets a wide range of common skin concerns, making it suitable for many skin conditions and types. At Faces By Bae, we recommend microneedling for individuals who want to improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin, helping to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of ageing.
• Acne scar The treatment helps break down scar tissue and encourages new skin growth, leading to a smoother surface over time.
• Stretch marks. Microneedling supports skin regeneration and improves elasticity, making it especially effective at softening the appearance of stretch marks and blending them more naturally with surrounding skin.
• Uneven skin tone and pigmentation. It helps to fade hyperpigmentation and sunspots, leading to a more even, radiant complexion.
• Large pores. Microneedling tightens the skin and smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
• Whether you’re dealing with visible signs of ageing, scarring, or skin texture concerns, microneedling offers a gentle yet powerful way to revitalise your skin, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

What Is the Treatment Like?

Each microneedling session at Faces By Bae lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. While you may feel a slight tingling sensation, discomfort is usually minimal.

After treatment, you can expect some redness, similar to light sunburn, which usually fades within a few days. With minimal downtime, most clients return to normal activities shortly after their appointment.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Whilst every client’s skin is different, most people begin to see noticeable improvements after just one session. However, for long-lasting and more dramatic results, we often recommend a course of three to six treatments, around four to six weeks apart. This allows your skin sufficient time to heal and continue producing new collagen between sessions.

During your consultation at Faces By Bae, we’ll assess your specific skin concerns and tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
