No-needle microneedling
Brighter skin, when you still need to be seen.
Cell Story is my no-needle option. Tiny spicules sit on the skin for a few days and help the ingredients get in. One session is £240. Four are £800. I suggest it when you want the skin brighter and you can't disappear for a NeoGen recovery. It won't lift a lid the way plasma can. I'll say that before you book it, not after.

How it differs from needling
A needling pen punctures the skin. Cell Story lays down a film of spicules, often from freshwater sponge, which stay in the surface for a few days and then shed. There is usually no numbing cream. If your skin flushes easily, do not book it the week of something you want to look calm for.
It brightens and refines. It does not tighten a neck the way NeoGen can. If the thing that bothers you is laxity, I will talk about plasma instead.
What you can reasonably expect
Makeup sits better. The skin holds a little more light. Fine lines can soften. The ingredients in the treatment get further in. One session is a fair trial. Four is for a season of skin, not the night before a dinner.

Chose Cell Story because I couldn't take time off. Scratchy for a day, then my skin looked cleaner and the texture on my cheeks was smoother. No one at work noticed I'd had anything done.

Skin looked brighter and felt smoother by the end of the week. Itched a bit the first night. Good result, just took a couple of days to settle.
Questions worth asking first
Is the at-home version for sale?
Not at a confirmed price. Ask in the form or on WhatsApp and I will tell you where that offer stands.
Can I have it in the same month as NeoGen?
Not on top of healing plasma skin. Spacing is decided individually. If you are in the flaking window, the answer is no.
