When performed in a controlled, medical setting, it encourages the skin to repair, strengthen, and regenerate itself from within. When tiny needles create precise micro-injuries within the dermis, the skin recognises this as a signal to begin repair. This process unfolds in three carefully coordinated phases.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\"><strong>Phase 1: Early Healing Response (first few hours)</strong></span></p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">The skin releases growth factors and signalling molecules that initiate repair. Blood platelets are drawn to the treated areas, helping to start the regeneration process. This response is controlled and purposeful, supporting healing rather than causing damage.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\"><strong>Phase 2: Repair and Renewal (days to weeks)</strong></span></p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Fibroblast cells migrate to the treated areas and begin producing new collagen and elastin. New micro-circulation develops, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin. During this phase, skin strength, texture, and quality begin to improve.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\"><strong>Phase 3: Remodelling and Maturation (weeks 4–12)</strong></span></p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Newly formed collagen continues to mature and organise into a stronger, more functional dermal structure. Over time, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more resilient, with results continuing to develop for up to twelve weeks.</span></p>","00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118":[4448],"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"556a3ac6-956d-48f1-b64a-184871e63dde":"Dr Rachel  - Why doctor-led microneedling matters","c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e":"<p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Microneedling may appear straightforward, but achieving safe, consistent, and meaningful results relies on medical expertise and clinical judgement.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">As a GMC-registered GP, I bring a detailed understanding of skin anatomy, facial structure, and individual variation. I understand how dermal depth differs across facial zones, where important vascular structures lie beneath the skin, and how to calibrate needle depth precisely to stimulate collagen while protecting tissue integrity.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Equally important is accurate diagnosis. Not every skin concern is best treated with microneedling alone. Some patterns of scarring respond better to alternative resurfacing approaches, some skin concerns benefit from injectable regenerative treatments, and others require targeted chemical resurfacing for pigmentation. Identifying the most appropriate treatment pathway requires medical training and experience.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Serum selection also plays a critical role. Different formulations support different biological processes: some enhance hydration and radiance, others support tissue repair and recovery, while more advanced regenerative options help encourage collagen renewal in more challenging cases. Matching the right serum to your skin biology is key to achieving optimal outcomes.</span></p><p> </p>","7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f":[4531],"0e712616-4ff7-45e0-bd93-b25da08757d3":"\"Dr Rachel is incredible!
