Microneedling Done Right

Microneedling has become a buzzword in skincare, but not all treatments are created equal. At The Pampered Cow, I prioritise your skin’s health and safety by using professional, medical-grade tools and techniques, supported by CIBTAC-endorsed certification with Dermalogica. Having completed practical assessments at Dermalogica’s training headquarters, I follow the highest industry standards to deliver safe, effective results.

What’s alarming, however, is that here in the UK, there are currently no mandatory regulations or qualifications required for beauty salons offering microneedling treatments. Terrifying, right? That’s why choosing a certified and trained professional is essential.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a revolutionary skincare treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating its natural healing process. Using tiny, sterile needles, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin.

Here at The Pampered Cow, I use globally recognised techniques and guidelines developed by microneedling experts, ensuring you get the best possible results.

Why Choose Progressive Over Aggressive Treatments?

At The Pampered Cow, I prioritise long-term results over quick fixes. Inspired by Dermalogica’s philosophy, my approach is gentle yet effective, allowing your skin to gradually adapt and heal. Every treatment is tailored to your specific needs, skin tolerance, and long-term goals.

While deeper penetration may seem appealing, aggressive techniques can cause unnecessary trauma, prolonged recovery, and hindered results. A progressive approach ensures collagen production is stimulated safely, with fewer adverse reactions and healthier, more consistent improvements.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

1. Consultation and Preparation
   Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your skin goals and create a personalised treatment plan. You will be invited for a pre consulation, this is where I can patch test you for resurfacing product prior to your treatment and endure you are suitble for the treatment.

   On the dya of the treatment:

   • Pre-treatment cleansing: I double cleanse your skin and exfoliate as needed

   • Application of Dermalogica Pro Restore: This protects your skin’s barrier and provides the perfect glide for microneedling.

2. Microneedling Process
   Using the Dermalogica Pro Microneedling Pen, I customise the treatment depth and technique to address your specific concerns. Pro Restore is reapplied during and after the procedure to minimise inflammation, reduce downtime, and boost recovery.

3. Post-Treatment Care

   • Application of SPF: I protect your skin post-treatment with an SPF moisturiser (If resurfacing has not taken place), essential as your skin’s natural barrier is temporarily more vulnerable.

   • Complimentary Dermalogica Pro Restore: I provide two tubes of this revolutionary product for at-home use to support your skin’s recovery and long-term results.

Key Benefits of Microneedling

• Dull Skin – Revitalise your natural glow.

• Pore Refining – Minimise enlarged pores for a smoother complexion.

• Hyperpigmentation – Even skin tone by reducing dark spots and discoloration.

• Lines and Wrinkles – Improve the appearance of fine lines for a youthful look.

The Importance of Priming Your Skin

Preparing your skin 2–4 weeks before treatment is essential for reducing risks and optimising results. Using recommended skincare products strengthens the skin’s barrier, kick-starts regeneration, and ensures your skin can tolerate microneedling safely.

Unprepared skin may remain stuck in the inflammatory stage post-treatment, leading to complications like prolonged redness, pigmentation, or sensitivity. A well-hydrated and prepped skin responds better, heals faster, and delivers enhanced, lasting results.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling uses fine needles to create evenly spaced micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and texture irregularities while rejuvenating your skin from within.

Does Microneedling Hurt?

Discomfort varies from person to person. During your pre-treatment consultation, I’ll ensure you’re fully informed about how the treatment will feel and what to expect, setting realistic expectations for your comfort.
