Acne scarring: How Micro-Needle skin therapy can naturally rejuvenate your skin back to its best
ACNE, at any stage in life, can be a completely confidence-shattering experience that seems to have no end in sight.
For many, acne knows no bounds – while for some it can arrive in the teen years, for others it can emerge mid to late twenties; even when the individual may not have suffered from the condition at all in the past.
But while many battle acne until it’s completely gone, scarring can still remain long after the condition has halted. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
n an new era of dermatology, there is always an answer to any skin issue. And acne scarring no longer has to be something that individuals have to live with – as so much can be done to bring your skin’s texture and colour back to what it once was.
The Cadogan Clinic in particular provide one such answer to scarring. Micro-needle skin therapy is one of the most effective natural beauty treatments which can not only help acne scarring, but can minimise signs of aging, as well as improve skin’s radiance and quality. And our own experience only solidified this claim.
Libbie Wallace, nurse practitioner at the Cadogan Clinic, exclusively tells OK! Online: “Micro-needling skin therapy is a minimally-invasive, anti-ageing treatment which uses tiny needles to create micro punctures, kick-starting the natural healing cascade of the skin.
“These tiny contact punctures promote cell renewal as the skin triggers the production of collagen and elastin, achieving plumper skin with a dewy, youthful glow.”
The near-painless procedure – in which the face is numbed before treatment – takes around an hour to complete, and upon arrival it will be discussed how many sessions you may need for your desired look. Nurse practitioner Libbie recommends many to have three to five treatments at four to six week intervals, in order to reap the full benefits of the procedure.
Results will become visible within two weeks of the micro-needling.
After suffering from an intense, out-of-the-blue mid-twenties break-out, our own experience of acne was surprising, upsetting and came about for reasons still unknown. Following on from a course of strong acne medication, the skin was left scarred, with darker pigmentation that no foundation seemed to be able to fully cover.
But after three sessions of micro-needling, the red discoloration soon began to fade on the skin, and in its place was smoother, softer and a more glowing complexion.
It also helped with the look of enlarged pores, but mostly aided in reducing the mass discolouration of the skin in just three short months.
While, alongside laser treatment, the micro-needling can intensely help improve the look of acne scarring, the organic therapy can also be used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, age spots and enlarged pores.
“Whilst micro-needling is most commonly used on the face, it can also be used to treat other areas of the body such a legs, buttocks, chest and back, achieving great results for concerns such as stretch marks and scars,” Libbie added.
It’s been an incredible hit with many celebrities in recent weeks, with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Lauren Goodger and Stephen Bear all confirming they had undergone the facial online.
“Many celebrities turn to micro-needling due to the results that can be achieved with a short period of time,” Nurse practitioner Libbie added. “Micro-needling can be personalised to the specific needs of the patient and can be used in conjunction with PRP and topical vitamin products to achieve maximum results.”
