Why Celebs Swear by Microneedling
If you’re a longtime reader, you’ll know that microneedling is my all-time favourite skin treatment, both in the clinic and at home. And I’m not alone! Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, and even Brad Pitt have been known to embrace these miraculous tools.
However, in a world that expects stars to stay eternally youthful without any intervention, many keep it as their best-kept beauty secret! Let’s uncover exactly what they don’t want you to know about microneedling...
1. Microneedling Does More Than Just Fight Wrinkles
Microneedling is by far one of the most versatile skin treatments out there. I personally use it to boost collagen and plump up fine lines, but its benefits don’t stop there. It’s also fantastic for:
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Sun spots
- Loss of firmness
I always think of it like an all in one facial treatment because it leaves your skin feeling instantly brighter, tighter and more beautiful than before 🙌🏼
2. It’s 100% Natural and Low-Risk
Many cosmetic treatments involve applying strong acids or injecting products into your skin. While these can be safe when administered properly, there’s often a risk of reactions or a lengthy recovery period.
Microneedling, on the other hand, is completely natural and requires no downtime. The tiny needles gently prick your skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This kickstarts collagen production below the surface, helping to keep your skin smooth, lifted and firm.
3. Boosts the Effectiveness of Your Skincare Routine
When you roll a microneedling tool over your face it creates literally millions of tiny pathways to the deeper layers of your skin. This means that your skincare products can reach far beyond their usual absorption level.
Not only does this mean that you’ll see results from your routine far quicker, but it also means they’ll be able to have more impact, correcting skin concerns directly at the source.
4. Microneedling is Easy on Your Wallet
It’s no secret that in-clinic treatments can be an investment. And as an aesthetician, I can honestly say that they are worth it. But thanks to advances in technology and tools, achieving clinic-like results at home is easier (and more affordable) than ever.
For example, the TLC Roller provides six months’ worth of treatments. If you use it twice a week, it works out to less than £1 per session for an incredible at-home facial ✨
Why I Love Sharing My Skincare Secrets
There’s no gatekeeping here 😁 Nothing brings me more joy than sharing what I know to help you achieve your best skin. After all, there’s absolutely no shame in taking care of yourself and your skin in a way that makes you feel your best 💕
So, if you’ve been curious about microneedling or hesitant to try it, I hope this guide encourages you to take the plunge. It’s celeb-approved for a reason!
