I am going to talk about microneedling again.....

It is no secret that we are all a bit obsessed with collagen. It is that "magic" ingredient that gives our skin its bounce and firmness, but unfortunately, after we hit our mid-twenties, our skin starts to get a little bit lazy and production begins to slow down.

If you have been into the clinic recently, you have probably heard me talk about microneedling. It is honestly one of my absolute favourite treatments because it works with your body, not against it. Instead of just putting something on top of the skin, we are actually waking the skin up and telling it to get back to work.

What does it actually help with?

Microneedling is a bit of a multitasker. I usually recommend it for clients who are frustrated with things like acne scarring, enlarged pores, or those fine lines that feel a bit deeper than they used to be. It is also incredible for improving general skin texture. If your skin feels a bit dull or "tired," this is the treatment that usually brings that vitality back.

The "Good" Collagen: Type 1

There is a bit of science behind why microneedling is so special. When we create those tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin, we are triggering a healing response. But here is the clever part: we are aiming for Type 1 collagen.

In the skincare world, we call this "scarless" collagen. It is the high-quality, flexible, and healing collagen that we have in abundance when we are younger. Unlike the "emergency" collagen your body produces when you have a big cut or an injury, Type 1 collagen is smooth and organised, which is exactly what gives you that firm, rejuvenated look without any stiffness.

A 400% Boost

It sounds like one of those numbers that is too good to be true, but the data is there to back it up. Studies have shown that a course of microneedling can actually boost collagen and elastin production by up to 400%. That is a massive shift in how your skin behaves. By the time you finish a course, your skin is literally functioning at a younger, healthier level than when you started.
