About Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that promotes skin rejuvenation through controlled injury. By using a medical-grade device fitted with fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates microchannels in the skin. These tiny injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin – two essential proteins that maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity.

Microneedling is versatile and effective for a range of skin concerns, and Lucy uses it to help reduce fine lines, address acne scars, shrink enlarged pores, and balance uneven skin tone. If you have been looking for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime, microneedling may be the way to go.

  • Microneedling harnesses the body's natural healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin. During the treatment, a microneedling device fitted with tiny needles is gently rolled across the surface of the skin. The microchannels created by the needles trigger a cascade of biological responses, including:

    1.) Increased collagen and elastin production thanks to these essential proteins being stimulated during the body's natural healing process. This helps lead to improved skin texture and more elasticity and firmness in the skin.

    2.) Enhanced skin cell turnover thanks to the controlled injuries made with the microneedling device. This boost in turnover helps to reduce the appearance of scars and even out pigmentation troubles.

    3.) Improved absorption of skincare products and topical treatments due to the microchannels the microneedling device makes. This added absorption helps to increase the effectiveness of these treatments and skincare products.

  • Many clients choose microneedling in London for its versatility and transformative results. Unlike at-home devices, professional microneedling performed by Lucy Banks ensures precise control, safety, and superior results. It's suitable for treating the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas that need a boost.

    Microneedling smooths uneven skin texture and enhances overall tone, making it an easy way to achieve a radiant complexion. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin looking ageless and refreshed.

    Microneedling helps to refine enlarged pores, creating a smoother, more even skin surface, and it is highly effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other textural irregularities.

Microneedling Treatment from Lucy Banks

Bespoke Consultation

Your journey to revitalised skin begins with a detailed consultation at Lucy's private clinic in Manchester Square. During this session, Lucy will assess your skin's condition and take the time to understand your beauty goals. Lucy will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan designed to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.

Microneedling Treatment Day

On the day of your treatment, you'll arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Lucy will cleanse and sterilise your skin before a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the treatment.

Using a medical-grade microneedling device, Lucy will gently roll the fine needles across your skin to create microchannels. This process is precise and controlled, ensuring minimal trauma while delivering maximum results. To enrich the effects, a soothing serum or specialised skincare product may be applied to your skin immediately after the procedure.

Aftercare and Results

Following your microneedling treatment, Lucy will provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimise your results. These may include:

1.) Avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing SPF daily.

2.) Abstaining from intense exercise and avoiding heat treatments, saunas and hot showers for 48 hours.

3.) Using gentle skincare products to support the healing process.

Your results will become more visible over time as collagen and elastin production continues. You should see noticeable improvements appearing within four to six weeks. Lucy may also recommend follow-up and maintenance appointments to maintain your results.
