Another treatment that’s gaining popularity in the UK is microneedling. Also known as collagen induction therapy or skin needling, the process uses a device covered with tiny, shallow needles to poke holes in the skin’s surface, causing a micro injury that prompts the body’s healing response to take effect. This stimulates the production of collagen, filling in fine lines, plumping the skin, and giving an overall brighter and more youthful complexion. This treatment can be used on almost every area of the body, including the face, arms, neck, legs, abdomen, back, and hands.
Because of the use of needles to break the skin’s surface, the procedure is considered invasive, which increases the risks associated with it. As a beauty therapist trained in microneedling, you will already be aware of these side effects, which include allergic reactions when used in conjunction with products that may not be tested for use with microneedling, as well as oozing, swelling, infections, milia, and acne flare. If your client sadly experiences these side effects, they may choose to file a claim against you. This can leave you financially responsible to pay compensation, as well as subject to expensive legal fees, which could damage your business and leave you unable to continue operating.
Here at Salon Gold, we recognise the risks associated with microneedling treatments, and want to protect your business with our comprehensive insurance policies, allowing you to continue working, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be completely covered in the event of any accidents.
