I've just tried microneedling - here's what you need to know before booking in

Microneedling is a hugely popular in-spa and -clinic treatment that’s backed by several skin experts and A-listers alike (Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Anniston and Gwyneth Paltrow are all reported fans). Promising to boost collagen, improve the appearance of scars and encourage healthy hair growth – it can tackle a multitude of concerns.

While we may have hydration boosters like the best hyaluronic acid serums at our disposal - along with the best retinol creams to target everything from wrinkles to texture - whenever a treatment promises to plump up the skin and boost glow, we pay attention. That's exactly why I jumped at the opportunity to try microneedling as part of the Signature Glow Facial at Dr Barbara Sturm’s London-based Boutique & Spa and I was blown away by the results. My skin immediately looked more radiant and, after a few weeks, it appeared plumper too.
