Your skin may look blotchy or pink at first, but this usually settles by the next day as your natural healing process boosts collagen and elastin.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159581022\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is microneedling suitable for treating specific skin concerns?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Microneedling is particularly effective for targeted issues such as wrinkles, acne scarring and sun damage. While it delivers a fresher, more youthful overall look, people dealing with a specific skin concern often see more significant results.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159581023\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you need numbing cream for microneedling?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You generally do not need numbing cream for treatments using the smallest needle (0.5), as discomfort is minimal. For more intensive treatments with larger needles, numbing cream is applied, but you may still experience some sensation during the session.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159581024\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Where can you book microneedling appointments in London?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can book microneedling at popular London spots like Primas MediSpa and Chelse\u00e9 Beauty Salon.
