Simone Gannon: I tried microneedling and I am so glad I did

A treatment on my radar for quite some time, microneedling is considered a safe and highly effective way to rejuvenate the skin. After a consultation with Dr Deirdre Fitzgerald at Fitzgerald Clinic in Dublin, I decided it was finally time to take the plunge (and I’m so glad I did)

Microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure that can significantly reduce the appearance of several skin issues, including pigmentation and melasma, acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and loose or crepey skin. It’s also a brilliant treatment for general skin rejuvenation, helping plump, lift, tighten and smooth.

However, it is quite an intense treatment, so it’s not suitable for everyone. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding or have active acne, eczema, or psoriasis, a blood disorder or are taking blood thinners, or if you’re going through chemotherapy or radiation, it must be avoided.
