The Benefits & Science Behind Microneedling

At Bowie, we’re thrilled to bring you a game-changer for your skincare routine: our at-home microneedling tool. If you’ve ever wondered how microneedling works or why people swear by it, you’re in the right place!

We’re here to break down the science and benefits of microneedling in a way that’s easy to understand - so you can decide if it’s right for you.

So, What Exactly Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny needles to create microscopic ‘injuries’ in your skin’s top layer (it’s not as scary as it sounds!). These controlled micro-injuries kick-start your body’s natural repair process, prompting it to produce more collagen and elastin, the two key players in keeping skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

The Science Behind It: Why Microneedling Works

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s happening in your skin during microneedling:

1. Boosted Collagen Production: As we age, collagen levels naturally decline, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. By stimulating collagen with microneedling, we help skin bounce back, minimising fine lines and giving it a firmer feel.

2. Enhanced Blood Flow: The tiny injuries encourage increased blood circulation, which brings oxygen and nutrients to your skin, giving it a healthy glow and helping it repair more effectively.

3. Better Product Absorption: After microneedling, your skin is more receptive to the skincare products you apply. Think of it as opening little doors in your skin for your favourite serums to work even better! (But remember, nothing active on the nights you roll).

Why You’ll Love Microneedling

1. Smoother Skin Texture: Microneedling can help refine skin texture, reduce the look of pores and improve the appearance of acne scars.

2. Softened Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By building collagen, microneedling minimises fine lines, making skin look more youthful.

3. Fades Scars and Stretch Marks: Microneedling is known to reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars and stretch marks, making them less noticeable over time.

4. More Even Skin Tone: It can help with dark spots and uneven pigmentation, giving you a brighter, more uniform complexion.

5. Smaller-Looking Pores: Increased collagen tightens the area around pores, making them look smaller and giving skin a more refined look.

How to Use Microneedling in Your Routine

1. Start with Clean Skin: Wash your face to ensure it’s free of any makeup or impurities.

2. Microneedle: Using our Bowie Microneedle Tool, gently roll over each area of your face. Think horizontal, vertical and diagonal for full coverage.

3. Follow with Your Serums: Post-microneedling is the best time to apply your favourite serums - they’ll absorb better and work more effectively on fresh skin.

4. Be Kind to Your Skin: After microneedling, skip the sun and any strong active products and focus on gentle hydration to keep your skin calm as it recovers.
