If you've been searching for a treatment that genuinely improves the health and appearance of your skin, I'd love to introduce you to the newest addition at The Skin Studios, Exceed Microneedling.
Microneedling has become one of the most sought-after treatments for improving skin quality, but not all devices are created equal. After extensive research, I chose the Exceed device because it delivers exceptional results while prioritising precision, comfort and safety.
Whether your concern is fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores or simply achieving healthier, more radiant skin, Exceed works by encouraging your skin to repair and regenerate itself naturally.
What is Exceed Microneedling?
Exceed is a Medical microneedling device that creates thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels within the skin. While this may sound intimidating, these microscopic channels trigger your body's natural wound-healing response.
As your skin begins this repair process, it produces fresh collagen and elastin. (the essential proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth and resilient). This treatment doesn't change your skin, it encourages your skin to function as it did when it was younger, creating healthier tissue from within.
Skin Benefits ~
One of the reasons I love microneedling is its versatility. It treats the overall health of your skin while targeting a wide range of concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of firmness
Acne scarring
Surgical scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture
Sun damage
Pigmentation (when appropriate)
Dull, tired-looking skin
Over time, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, brighter and more refined, with improvements continuing for several months as new collagen develops.
What is the Downtime?
One of the biggest advantages of Exceed is the relatively short recovery period.
Immediately afterwards, your skin can appear pink or red, similar to mild sunburn, and may feel warm or tight. This is completely normal and usually settles within 24 to 48 hours.
You may also notice:
Mild swelling
Slight dryness or tightness
Light flaking as your skin renews itself
Most clients feel comfortable returning to normal daily activities the following day, although it's important to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, swimming and active skincare products for the first 24–48 hours.
Your skin will continue producing collagen long after the redness has disappeared, with improvements becoming increasingly noticeable over the following weeks.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
While you'll often notice brighter, fresher skin after just one treatment, collagen takes time to develop.
For the best results, I usually recommend a course of three to six treatments, spaced around four to six weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and desired outcome
If you'd like to find out whether Exceed Microneedling is suitable for your skin, I'd love to welcome you to into the Studio for a Skin Consultation and create a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve your skin goals. You can book HERE.
