How Can Botox Treatments Reduce Neck Lines?
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits, making it one of the most effective treatments for overall skin rejuvenation.
- Stimulates Collagen Formation – Strengthens fibronectin matrix forms and promotes tissue repair.
- Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines – Smooths facial wrinkles, eye wrinkles, and deep lines for a youthful appearance.
- Treats Acne Scars and Pock Marks – Encourages skin regeneration to improve atrophic acne scars and ice-pick scars.
- Enhances Skin Barrier Function – Reduces dead skin cells, promoting healthier, hydrated skin.
- Improves Transfollicular Absorption – Increases the penetration of Vitamin C serums, glycolic acid, and 5-aminolevulinic acid.
- Minimises Pore Size – Tightens pores and improves overall skin texture.
- Safe for All Skin Types, Including Darker Skin Tones – Provides an alternative treatment to lasers with a low risk of pigmentation issues.
With regular microneedling sessions, the skin continues to renew, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
At Oracle, Nurse Ness Griffiths and her team ensure a customised microneedling process for every patient, depending on skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.
- Consultation – A thorough skin assessment determines the best approach for your ideal candidate status.
- Preparation – A numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort, particularly for sensitive skin.
- Microneedling Procedure – A sterilised microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen growth. The session lasts 30–45 minutes.
- Aftercare Advice – Personalised post-microneedling guidance is provided to ensure proper healing response and minimal risk of infection.
Most patients experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity immediately after the session, similar to days of injury healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Microneedling requires minimal healing time, but proper aftercare is essential to maximise results and avoid adverse effects.
- Expect mild temporary redness and swelling for the first 24–48 hours, similar to a light sunburn.
- Avoid makeup, excessive sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
- Keep skin hydrated using hyaluronic acid-based creams and gentle moisturisers.
- Use SPF daily to prevent skin damage and hyperpigmentation.
- Apply ice packs to reduce inflammation or sensitivity if needed.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or steam rooms to prevent irritation.
Over the next few weeks, the natural healing response continues, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier skin.
How Long Do Microneedling Results Last?
Results vary based on skin type, severity of concerns, and aftercare, but most patients notice improvements within a few weeks as collagen deposition increases. Effects typically last three to six months, with continued improvement over time.
For optimal results, a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended. To sustain skin tightening and a reduction in wrinkles, maintenance treatments every four to six months help prolong results and enhance skin renewal.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is ideal for those looking to boost collagen, smooth fine lines, reduce scarring, and improve skin texture. It suits most skin types and tones, including darker skin tones, with minimal risk of pigmentation issues. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of skin elasticity
- Acne scars, stretch marks, or sun damage
- Uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, or pigmentation concerns
However, microneedling may not be suitable if you have active acne, inflammatory skin conditions, or a history of poor wound healing.
