Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedling)

Our microneedling treatment in Oxted, Surrey is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin radiance. At Glow Skincare by Roxie, we use professional microneedling techniques to promote skin renewal and deliver smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin. Suitable for a range of skin concerns, microneedling is a highly effective treatment for long-term skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling for Acne Scars

Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for improving the appearance of acne scars. By creating tiny micro-channels within the skin, the treatment stimulates the body's natural healing response and encourages the production of new collagen and elastin. Over time, this process helps to smooth uneven skin texture, soften the appearance of acne scarring and promote healthier-looking skin.

Regular microneedling sessions can significantly improve skin quality, helping to restore confidence and create a smoother, more even complexion. Treatment plans are tailored to the severity of the scarring and your individual skin goals.

Microneedling for Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As we age, natural collagen production begins to decline, leading to the development of fine lines, wrinkles and reduced skin firmness. Microneedling helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and encouraging natural skin renewal.

This advanced treatment can help soften the appearance of fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead while improving overall skin texture and tone. The result is smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin without the need for invasive procedures.

Benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling, often referred to as collagen induction therapy, offers a wide range of skin benefits. By stimulating the skin's natural repair process, the treatment encourages long-term skin rejuvenation and improvement.

Benefits of microneedling include:

• Increased collagen and elastin production

• Improved skin texture and tone

• Reduction in acne scars and blemishes

• Softer fine lines and wrinkles

• Minimised appearance of enlarged pores

• Enhanced skin firmness and elasticity

• Improved absorption of skincare products

• Brighter, healthier-looking skin

With a course of treatments, clients often experience progressive improvements in both the appearance and health of their skin.

Microneedling Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to achieve the best results from your microneedling treatment. Following your appointment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel warm, similar to mild sunburn, for up to 48 hours.

To support the healing process, we recommend:

• Keeping the skin clean and hydrated

• Avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing SPF daily

• Refraining from intense exercise, saunas and steam rooms for 24–48 hours

• Avoiding active skincare ingredients such as retinol, AHAs and BHAs for several days

• Following the personalised aftercare advice provided during your appointment

Most clients notice improved skin texture and radiance within a few weeks, with continued improvements developing as collagen production increases.
