{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"When used correctly, an at-home microneedle is a safe and effective method to boost skin’s quality, regardless of your skin tone. However, deeper skin tones are more prone to pigmentation and/or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, such as from insect bites, cuts or blemishes – if that sounds familiar, we would not recommend microneedling."}]}]}

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The Plump Up Microneedle has been designed with lots of tiny, compact needles (540 to be exact) that make microneedling at home pain-free. If you make sure to always use featherlight motions with no added pressure, at-home microneedling shouldn’t break the skin or cause any bleeding. A little pinkness is normal, but if you do experience any pain, tingling or burning, make sure to stop microneedling straight away."}]}]}

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The main difference between at-home and in-clinic microneedling is the needle length. At-home needles are shorter and only target the very top layer of skin (the epidermis). This length of needle is safe and easy to use at home and is a powerful way to improve the overall skin tone, texture and visible signs of ageing. In-clinic microneedles are longer and can reach the deeper layer of your skin (the dermis). This helps to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks. The longer needles have the potential to cause damage to the skin which is why it has to be performed by a trained professional."}]}]}
