Looking for a way to refresh your skin and bring back a youthful glow? Microneedling at Kay’s Effortless Beauty in Barnstaple could be just what you need. This simple but powerful treatment encourages your skin to repair and renew itself, leaving you looking smoother, firmer, and more radiant.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, is all about giving your skin the nudge it needs to heal and strengthen. As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen — the protein that keeps it plump and smooth. This is where microneedling steps in.
By using a device with ultra-fine sterile needles, tiny microchannels are created on the surface of the skin. This sounds more dramatic than it is — the process is quick and relatively comfortable. But those tiny channels trigger your body’s natural repair system, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin. Over time, this means healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What Benefits Can You Expect?
Clients love microneedling because it can address a wide range of skin concerns in a natural way. Some of the most common results include:
Softer fine lines and wrinkles
A smoother, more even skin texture
A brighter, healthier glow
Reduction in acne scars and stretch marks
A firmer, more youthful complexion
Reduces signs of aging
Reduces or completely treats sun damage and sun spots
helps to reduce enlarged pores and acne, thus acne scarring
Whether you want to tackle specific concerns or just give your skin a boost, microneedling offers results that keep improving in the weeks after your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it feel like and is it painful?
Most clients describe microneedling as feeling a bit like fine sandpaper moving gently across the skin. It’s generally well tolerated and not considered painful, However, Kay offers pre-numbing cream to all clients, so if you’d prefer a little extra comfort, it’s available.
What can I expect after a microneedling session?
Your skin may look flushed, similar to a light sunburn, and feel a little tight for a day or two. Some mild swelling or dryness is also normal. These effects usually fade within 2–3 days, leaving your skin already looking refreshed.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice an instant post-treatment glow, but the real magic happens gradually. Most clients start to see visible improvements within 2–4 weeks, with results continuing to develop for several months as collagen production builds.
How many treatments will I need?
Everyone’s skin is different, but a course of around 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended. For deeper scars or wrinkles, you may benefit from additional treatments.
Is microneedling safe?
Absolutely. When performed by a qualified professional in a sterile clinical environment — like at Kay’s Effortless Beauty — microneedling is a safe and well-established procedure.
With regular microneedling, many clients make it part of their long-term skincare routine. It’s a gentle yet effective way to keep your skin looking healthy, youthful, and naturally radiant.
