How Microneedling in Newquay Revives Skin's Natural Glow

Microneedling is a clinically trusted treatment that helps restore skin tone, texture, and vitality. At GLO, this advanced procedure utilises precision techniques to gently activate your skin’s natural repair process, boosting collagen production, smoothing imperfections, and enhancing your natural glow.

What Is Microneedling and How Does It Work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilises a specialised device with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.

These micro-channels activate the body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for firm, supple, and youthful skin.

At GLO, this process is carried out with precision to ensure safe, targeted treatment. By triggering skin regeneration from within, microneedling supports smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a reduction in concerns like fine lines, scarring, and dullness.

The treatment also enhances the absorption of active serums, allowing your skin to benefit more deeply from nourishing ingredients applied during and after your session.

What to Expect During Treatment at GLO

Each step of the treatment process at GLO is designed to ensure comfort, effectiveness, and personalised care. From your initial consultation to post-treatment support, the experience is tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

The process at GLO typically includes:

  • Skin consultation: Each appointment begins with a personalised consultation to assess your skin needs and determine the most effective treatment plan.
  • Comfort-first prep: A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise any discomfort, ensuring a calm and comfortable experience.
  • Targeted treatment: The microneedling device is applied gently across the skin to create micro-channels and stimulate renewal.
  • Serum infusion: A hydrating serum is applied immediately after to nourish and strengthen the skin barrier. The micro-channels increase absorption and maximise benefits.

Key Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers a range of skin benefits, addressing multiple concerns while promoting long-term skin health. Below are some of the most impactful improvements you can expect from a tailored course of treatments.

Visible Skin Rejuvenation

Microneedling promotes a more youthful appearance by stimulating collagen production, smoothing the appearance of fine lines, and enhancing skin firmness over time. As the skin rebuilds itself, you may notice a gradual smoothing of wrinkles and better overall elasticity, especially with consistent sessions.

Smoother Texture and Even Tone

This treatment helps to minimise the appearance of scarring, enlarged pores, and pigmentation concerns. Over time, skin becomes more refined and even, making makeup application smoother and reducing the need for heavy coverage. It’s an ideal solution for post-acne scarring and sun damage.

Restored Skin Glow

Microneedling encourages natural cell turnover and supports hydration, resulting in visibly fresher and more radiant-looking skin. The increase in microcirculation also brings a healthy, natural glow that reflects your skin’s improved health and vitality.

Microneedling Recovery Timeline

Microneedling results develop gradually, and understanding the healing timeline helps manage expectations and track progress effectively.

0–24 Hours

Expect redness, light pinpoint bleeding, and mild swelling. Pores may remain open, and the skin can feel warm and sensitive.

1–3 Days

Dryness, tightness, and occasional itching may occur as the skin begins to heal. Flaking and redness are also common during this stage.

4–5 Days

Skin becomes more hydrated and starts to reveal a smoother texture. Any visible irritation typically subsides.

3–6 Weeks

Deeper improvements, such as reduced fine lines, minimised pigmentation, and increased firmness, become more noticeable as collagen production accelerates.

Supporting Your Skin Beyond Microneedling

Microneedling delivers significant improvements on its own, but pairing it with other skin-focused treatments can further enhance the results.

Skin boosters and nourishing facials support hydration and skin regeneration, while a consistent membership plan offers structured, long-term care. This combined approach helps maintain skin health well beyond a single session.

Is Microneedling Right for All Skin Types?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive, oily, and combination skin. Its controlled approach allows for customisation based on each person’s needs, making it an ideal treatment for those managing early signs of ageing, acne scarring, or uneven skin tone.

At GLO, every treatment begins with a professional consultation to determine suitability and tailor the experience to your skin’s condition and goals. This ensures the treatment is both safe and effective, with visible improvements seen over time.

How Often Should You Have Microneedling Treatments?

Treatment frequency depends on your skin’s condition and the results you’re aiming to achieve. Generally, a series of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, can lead to long-lasting improvements.

For skin maintenance or mild concerns, fewer sessions may be recommended. GLO’s team provides tailored recommendations based on your consultation and skin goals, ensuring the timing and treatment plan aligns with your individual needs.

Ongoing care and follow-ups are also available for continued support.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling

How painful is microneedling?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort during the session.

Can microneedling cause damage to the skin?

When performed by a qualified practitioner, microneedling is a safe and controlled treatment. The micro-injuries created are superficial and stimulate healing without damaging deeper layers of the skin.

How soon will I see results?

Some improvements may be visible within a week, particularly in skin texture and hydration. However, full collagen regeneration takes time, typically three to six weeks.

Is there any downtime after microneedling?

Mild redness and sensitivity are common immediately after treatment, but these effects typically subside within 24 to 72 hours. Most clients resume daily activities shortly after.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Microneedling pairs well with skin boosters and nourishing facials. GLO’s team can recommend complementary treatments that support your goals and maximise long-term results.
