What is Skin Microneedling? Skin micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that stimulates the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a protein found in the skin that keeps it looking firm, plump, and youthful. As we age, the natural collagen production in our skin decreases, leading to […]

Did you get some beautifully packaged soaps for Christmas? It’s a lovely gift and always smells amazing – perfect for displaying in the bathroom or storing in drawers with your clothes to keep them smelling fresh.  However, these highly fragranced soaps aren’t always the best from a skincare perspective. Soap can dry out your delicate […]

Earlier this month I renewed my Save Face membership, and for those of you who aren’t familiar with the organisation, I just wanted to explain a little about who they are, what they do, and why I am passionate about being a Save Face accredited practitioner (with Excellence Status – which is awarded to practitioners […]

This month’s blog about the skincare treatments available here at Younger U Aesthetics is all about Skin Rejuvenation Treatments – in particular, 3D Dermaforce Advanced Radiofrequency Microneedling.
