Anyone tried microneedling to stimulate new cells and reduce wrinkles

Absolutely not!

Quite agree, BlueBelle. Carol Vorderman is unrecognisable. I wouldn’t have expected her to be so unsure of herself that she felt the need to have so much done.

Make the most of what you’ve got, help nature a little with subtle make-up etc, but don’t do anything radical. You will only look worse.

No way! I’m happy with my skin. I cleanse and moisturise morning and night without fail and wear sunscreen every day. That’s enough for me. No treatments thank you.

once you start you have to continue with having it and as your skin ages you will look haggered and much older than your years. remember felicity kendal ruined her face and had more surgery to try and correct, never works.

I used one for three months - gave up as it made no difference whatsoever to my face.

I just Googled Felicity Kendal - gosh, you’re right. What a shame she felt it was necessary.

I've just reread my response and realised that what I wrote isn't what I meant to say, sorry! I didn't mean 'No, it doesn't work' I meant to say 'No, haven't tried it' (because I also misread the op). Was obviously having a bad day.

I think it depends on what you are trying to do. The shorter needles that can be used regularly seem to be only useful for dealing with very surface damage like very fine lines or surface skin damage. To deal with deeper wrinkles or sagging skin the longer needles are needed over a longer period, to prompt the rebuilding of collagen and faster turnover of skin cells. The treatments are more spaced out to allow the skin to heal each time.

It all depends on what your skin is like and what you want to achieve. I've put a YouTube link to a site that talks about how it works, what can be done, and what to look out for. She's an American aesthetician who both uses and performs microneedling and talks about it in depth. If you search for micro needling on YouTube there are also videos from cosmetic surgeons who discuss the procedures and the possibilities of skin damage. HTH

I had microneedling done every 5 weeks for about 9 months and then I stopped for about 3 months and noticed that my skin was not as smooth, pores were larger and fine lines were deeper. I went back to getting it done and after the first treatment, I noticed a difference. So, I am now back to this one luxury every 5 weeks.

I have just had it .. Not at all painful I have noticed how good my skin is wrinkles don’t disappear but are softened.
I had three random people say to me since having it that that I’m glowing 🤷‍♀️
I’m more than happy with that

Daughter had it done last year under her eyes, around £200 I seem to think, she may as well have dotted it with a pencil at no cost. It made no difference what so ever.

Never would consider getting it done, I cleanse, moisturise, and use a good lipstick. No intention of using botox or a microneedle.

This is my opinion only and if people find it helps them they should go for it.

I wouldn’t dream of having this done. I’m happy to let nature take its course.

Can't believe so many people are saying no.

I had this, c6 sessions - they used a machine - no pain. Everything was cleaned before I had it - it was called plasmon because they added a serum to my skin as they did the micro needling.

I'm 57yo. I recently chatted to a new colleague and my associate - all women. My associate was complaining she's just turned 50yo and I said cricket I'm a lot older than both of you to which my new colleague said, how old are you 44-45? I said no 57yo. She nearly fell over.

Last weekend I caught up with school friends, I saw one a few months ago, my BF from school 10yrs ago and tge rest I hadn't seen for 40 years. One asked me where my wrinkles were and had I had cosmetic surgery! I said no cosmetic surgery I had microneedling.

Try it, it's pain-free.

Make sure everything is spotless before treatment.

I had it on my hands too to remove age spots so my beautician, who is a medical Prof, disinfected my phone and keys before I left too.

Its called plason not plasmon
