Microneedling: Your Skins Secret Weapon After 30!
Okay, let’s talk about what actually happens to our skin after 30.
Collagen starts dipping, fine lines sneak in, pores look a little more noticeable, and that effortless glow? … Not so effortless anymore 🙃
This is exactly why microneedling has become THAT treatment.
If you’re not already doing it, you’re honestly missing out.
Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling creates tiny micro-channels in the skin that trigger your body to produce more collagen and elastin — aka the two things responsible for firm, bouncy, smooth skin.
The result?
• Softer lines
• Tighter pores
• Smoother texture
• Faded acne scars
• More even tone
• That fresh, lit-from-within glow everyone wants
It’s basically the gym for your face. And just like the gym, the earlier you start (hello 30s), the better the long-term results.
Here’s What People Don’t Talk About Enough
It also makes your skincare work harder.
Those serums you’re investing in? They penetrate deeper and perform better after microneedling.
The clients who start in their 30s are the ones who look incredible in their 40s. That’s not luck — that’s strategy.
If prevention is the goal, microneedling isn’t optional… it’s ESSENTIAL.
Trust me, your future skin will thank you.
Microneedling FAQ’s
1. Does microneedling hurt?
Most clients say it’s very manageable. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, so it feels more like light scratching or vibration than pain.
2. How many sessions will I need?
For best results, a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended, depending on your skin goals.
3. Is there downtime?
You can expect redness for 24–72 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Some light flaking may follow.
4. When will I see results?
You’ll notice a glow within a week, but collagen-building results typically show after 4–6 weeks and continue improving over time.
5. Can microneedling help with acne scars?
Yes! It’s one of the most effective treatments for improving the appearance of acne scarring.
6. Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Generally yes, when performed by a trained professional. A consultation will determine if it’s right for you.
7. Can I wear makeup after treatment?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to heal properly.
8. How often should I do maintenance treatments?
After your initial course, maintenance every 3–6 months helps keep collagen production stimulated.
9. Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?
Absolutely. It pairs well with treatments that support collagen and overall skin health – Here at Pretty Perfect London we can tailor a treatment plan that’s unique to you.
10. Is 30 too early to start?
Not at all. Starting in your 30s is actually ideal for prevention and long-term skin health.
