The Benefits of Microneedling & Why We Use LED Light Therapy for Best Results
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is one of the most effective skin treatments for achieving smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
This minimally invasive procedure encourages natural collagen production, which helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. At our salon, we combine microneedling with LED Light Therapy to maximise the benefits and accelerate skin healing for the best possible results.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment performed by a trained professional using a device with tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone over time.
The benefits of microneedling include: ✔ Increased collagen production for firmer skin ✔ Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles ✔ Improved skin texture and tone ✔ Diminished acne scars and pigmentation ✔ Minimized pores for a smoother complexion ✔ Enhanced absorption of skincare products
What to Expect After Microneedling
Microneedling is a quick treatment with minimal downtime, but the skin does go through a healing process:
- Immediately After (60 minutes): Skin will appear red with possible pinpoint bleeding.
- First 24 Hours: Some redness, slight swelling, and sensitivity.
- 1–2 Days Post-Treatment: Skin may feel tight, dry, and slightly itchy.
- 2–3 Days Post-Treatment: Minor skin flaking or peeling as old skin sheds.
- 4–5 Days: Skin begins to normalize, feeling smoother and healthier.
- 3–6 Weeks: The full benefits appear as collagen production increases, improving skin texture, fine lines, and scarring.
Why We Value LED Light Therapy in Microneedling Treatments
To enhance your results and speed up recovery, we incorporate LED Light Therapy as part of our microneedling treatments. LED therapy uses different wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and provide targeted benefits.
💡 Red LED Light: Stimulates collagen production, reduces redness, and speeds up healing. 💡 Blue LED Light:Helps to combat acne and reduces the risk of post-treatment breakouts. 💡 Near-Infrared Light: Promotes circulation and enhances the skin’s ability to repair itself.
By using LED therapy immediately after microneedling, we can calm inflammation, boost collagen production, and encourage faster healing—meaning you see results sooner and with less irritation.
