✨ Safe, doctor-led skin rejuvenating Microneedling in Worthing

We’re delighted to announce that microneedling is launching at Blue Bird Aesthetics in January 2026. This article is designed to help you understand how the treatment works, who it’s suitable for, and why choosing a medical clinic ensures the highest standards of safety and results.

If you’re completely new to microneedling, the Glowday Microneedling Guide is a great introduction — and here, we go further by explaining how medical expertise elevates your experience.

🧬 What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny sterile needles to create microchannels in the surface of the skin. This triggers a natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production and enhancing the absorption of medical-grade serums. The result is smoother, brighter, more evenly toned skin over time.

It is suitable for concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation, texture issues, early ageing and mild scarring — making it a versatile treatment for many skin types.

🔍 Microneedling vs Injectables: What’s the Difference?

One of the most common questions we get is:
“How does microneedling differ from injectable treatments?”

Here’s a simple explanation:

Microneedling

• Uses tiny sterile needles to refresh the entire face

• Encourages collagen and elastin production

• Improves texture, tone, and radiance

• Helps medical-grade serums penetrate deeper

Injectables

Including treatments such as polynucleotides, Profhilo and Plinest:

• Delivered directly into precise layers of the skin

• Target specific issues such as under-eye hollows or deep acne scars

• Offer focused, localised rejuvenation

👉 Microneedling = overall improvement and glow
👉 Injectables = precise, targeted correction

Both stimulate fibroblasts, but they work at different depths and with different aims.

If you’re unsure which treatment is best for your skin, we’re always happy to advise during a no-pressure medical consultation.

💉 Why Medical-Grade Microneedling Matters

Microneedling is widely available in salons — but the level of safety, hygiene and effectiveness varies hugely.

At Blue Bird Aesthetics, every treatment is carried out by Dr Amber Halliday, ensuring medical precision from start to finish.

✔ Sterile, single-use needle cartridges

You’ll always see your new, unopened needle before the treatment begins.

✔ Tailored needle depth

We adjust the depth depending on your skin type and concern — for example, deeper needling for acne scarring, or gentler settings for sensitive areas.

✔ Strict medical hygiene

We follow audit-ready protocols equivalent to clinical medical procedures.

✔ Personalised serums and advanced add-ons

We only use medical-grade skincare, including:

• Hyaluronic acid for hydration

• Polynucleotides for healing and tissue repair

• Plinest for advanced collagen stimulation

This doctor-led approach ensures your treatment is not only effective, but as safe and transparent as possible.

🌍 Beyond the Face: Hands & Décolletage

Microneedling is not limited to the face. We also treat:

• Décolletage (chest): for lines, sun damage and crepey texture

• Backs of hands: to soften age-related changes and improve overall youthfulness

“You can invest in facial skincare and injectables, but the hands often reveal your true age. Treating them completes the overall appearance.”
— Dr Amber Halliday

Few providers in the local area offer these additional treatment zones — they’re an excellent complement to a facial rejuvenation plan.

🌟 Benefits of Medical Microneedling in Worthing

Microneedling may help:

• Reduce fine lines

• Improve texture and tone

• Brighten dull or tired skin

• Minimise mild pigmentation

• Stimulate collagen for gradual, natural improvement

• Enhance the effectiveness of active serums

It is a progressive treatment: results build session by session.

📚 FAQ

1. What is the difference between microneedling and injectables?

Microneedling treats the entire face through collagen stimulation, while injectables deliver targeted products to specific areas for deeper correction.

2. Is microneedling safe?

Yes — when performed in a medical environment with sterile, single-use equipment.
At Blue Bird Aesthetics, your safety is our priority.

3. Does microneedling hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild and scratchy.

“I was nervous that it might hurt, but Dr Halliday was very reassuring. It just felt like a light scratching sensation — absolutely fine.”
— Dr David Hewett

Numbing cream is available if required.

4. How many sessions do I need?

We typically recommend three sessions, each spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with optional maintenance sessions depending on your goals.

5. Which products do you use during treatment?

We tailor every treatment using medical-grade serums, such as hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides or Plinest, depending on your skin’s needs.

6. Can microneedling be performed on areas other than the face?

Yes — the hands and décolletage respond especially well, helping create a more even, youthful appearance overall.

🕊️ Final Thoughts

Microneedling and injectables are both valuable tools in aesthetic medicine. The key difference is broad rejuvenation vs targeted correction, and the key to safety and consistency lies in who performs the treatment.

At Blue Bird Aesthetics, every microneedling session is carried out by a doctor, using sterile equipment and medical-grade products, so you can feel confident in every step of your treatment.
