Sun Damage? Here’s How To Reverse It
How Microneedling Can Help Reverse Sun Damage
Sun-kissed skin might look radiant in the moment, but over time, UV exposure can leave behind unwanted reminders like fine lines, dark spots, and rough texture. The good news? You don’t have to live with it.
At Jacks & Buckley Salon in Nottingham, Microneedling offers a powerful, science-backed solution to help restore your skin’s natural glow. This minimally invasive treatment works by stimulating your body’s collagen production - gently resurfacing the skin and reducing visible signs of sun damage with each session.
''I had a facial with Clare and it was absolutely beautiful. I told Clare my skincare concerns and she tailored my facial to target this. She also gave me advice on a skincare regime and products to use. I'll definitely be back!!'' - Tracey M, 5 star review.
What Is Microneedling, Exactly?
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) involves using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural repair process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin - two essential proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful. It’s minimally invasive, with little downtime, and can be customised for different skin concerns, including sun damage.

How Microneedling Targets Sun Damage
Sun exposure breaks down collagen over time and leads to uneven pigmentation, rough patches, and fine lines. Microneedling helps to reverse this by:
Smoothing Texture: It encourages skin cell turnover, reducing rough patches and uneven tone.
Fading Dark Spots: Over multiple sessions, hyperpigmentation and sunspots become less noticeable.
Boosting Collagen: This helps plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and UV-related skin laxity.
Enhancing Product Absorption: After microneedling, your skin is more receptive to serums and treatments packed with antioxidants and brightening agents - speeding up your results.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Microneedling is performed in a clean, comfortable setting by our trained professionals. We start by cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream to ensure minimal discomfort. The treatment itself typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area.
Aftercare Tips:
Expect slight redness (like a mild sunburn) for 1–2 days.
Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days post-treatment.
Use gentle skincare and stay hydrated.
Wear SPF daily to protect your newly refreshed skin!
Results start becoming visible after the first session, with the best improvements showing after a series of treatments.
