Microneedling and Topical Anaesthetics – The Law

Scores of therapists and salons still use illegal topical anaesthetics to numb the skin during procedures such as microneedling. Some councils have begun licensing their use, and checking on individual salons, to ensure compliancy.

Professional Beauty, an industry leader, said in 2019, that some therapists are abandoning microneedling treatments. New rules from some local authorities say they cannot sell or apply anaesthetic to their clients prior to microneedling.

Although I am in Scotland, and some local authorities do not yet require licensing for skin needling, it’s important to realise that almost all of our insurance companies are based in England. We are required to follow their rules. The problem would occur if a therapist or salon owner either applied or supplied a topical anaesthetic which is classed as illegal and a reaction occurred.

Most therapists are not medically trained in complications management. Topical anaesthetic is covered under the Medicines Act. If there is a reaction to a topical anaesthetic, there is little to zero wiggle room for treatments for therapist and salon.

Salons and therapists are also not allowed to reuse any derma rollers. This still applies, even if the salon/therapist uses an autoclave to sterilise equipment. Microneedling is now required to be single use pen cartridge or derma roller only.

The actual boundaries are not 100% clear for self sourced anaesthetic by clients but what is, is that if a client has a reaction to an illegally sourced and applied anaesthetic, the therapist and salon will be fully liable. For many local authorities, the same applies to microblading and spmu therapists. Many brands and councils will now require a doctor or nurse to be on the premises and apply prescribed numbing cream.

The rules are varying, but only topical anaesthetic which is over the counter and used by the client themselves, is likely to be covered under insurance rules for therapists.

Microneedling Without Topical Anaesthetic

Salons without a doctor or nurse applying and being present during the treatment at all times, are putting themselves in a risky position. The rule of thumb is that if a therapist is not a doctor or nurse prescriber, they cannot properly supply and apply a topical anaesthetic.

What does this mean for microneedling? Not that much really. Yes, microneedling is a little uncomfortable for some of us, including me, but others hardly notice it and say it’s like tiny pinpricks.

Good things don’t always come in not so easy packages and not all good things feel incredibly great. The good thing about zero anaesthetic, is that the client (you) can feel any part of the skin where the sensation alters. This allows the therapist to stop if an area feels numb, and stops the treatment from causing any damage to the skin.

Microneedling Protocol

  • For the face, depths of up to 1mm is a maximum for most brands during treatments. Brands will usually state their maximum depths.
  • The maximum body depth for microneedling for most treatments is 1.5mm.
  • Microneedling will not be carried out where there are any active breakouts, cuts or abrasions on the skin.
  • At depths of 0.25 – 0.5 on the face, there is little sensation or pain. At 1mm, the sensation may be unpleasant, however pain is not significant.
  • On the body, a little discomfort may be felt at depths of 1.5mm.
  • If unsure, it might be a good idea to begin treatments with a shallow depth, and increase as treatments progress.

Million Dollar Facial depths for Microneedling and Mesotherapy, are a maximum of 1mm for the face, and 1.5mm for the body.

Micro-needling, also referred to as skin needling or collagen induction therapy, is a process where a professional therapist runs a tool over the stretch mark area. By creating minor injuries where skin has been damaged, Micro-needling encourages your body to repair damaged skin through increased production of collagen and elastin.

Is it Effective?

Stretch marks are scars that form in the middle layer of skin, and like scars from injuries, they do not go away on their own. While they may fade over time, getting rid of stretch marks requires undergoing a treatment that can penetrate the top layer of skin and affect the middle layer of skin where stretch mark scars form.

The process of Micro-needling allows a trained therapist to use long enough needle to impact middle layer of your skin. When skin is damaged through the Micro-needling process, it triggers the development of collagen and elastin in your body, which will promote skin regeneration in the damaged areas. The skin regeneration process can encourage new skin growth in areas with stretch marks, improving the tone and texture of skin and reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

In addition to treating stretch marks, Micro-needling is also commonly used to treat wrinkles and acne scars. The treatment requires only a topical anaesthetic, and is considered a safe and low-risk treatment option.

Reasons to feel good with Ice Globes, and step up your skincare routine.

History of the Ice Globe Market

Developed by a famous facial specialist around 2018, ice rollers have quickly developed a reputation for being the current must have and in demand accessory for facial treatments. Ice globes are also perfect to maintain salon treatments at home on an ongoing basis.

Ice globes really do make a difference to skin, by the use of cryotherapy to help with skincare issues we all battle with daily, as well as being soothing and comforting experience.

There have been many different brands of ice globes which have flooded the market since their invention, however choosing a suitable pair from a reputable company is the best choice.

The principle is worked on placing the ice globes in the freezer or the fridge for 10-30 minutes before using them. Some globes are not suitable for putting in the fridge, and must only be used in a fridge.

Good quality globes will be made of medical grade anti-freeze liquid which is safe to use in a freezer. They will also have high quality glass with shatter proof qualities, hypoallergenic, cruelty free, vegan and suitable for all skin types.

Ice rollers aren’t used in beauty treatments by professionals for no reason. Therapists, celebrities and clients have received huge benefits from using them in their daily routine. There have been no end of publicity rounds in Vogue, as well as many other magazines, extolling the use of ice rollers and what they can do for us.

Used regularly, ice globes can help to improve skin tone, health, and overall appearance. The recommended use is morning and evening for best results and bringing the ice globes into part of your daily skin care routine.

Benefits Of Using Ice Globes Morning and Evening

  • Helps reduce dark circles under the eyes and reduce the appearance of swelling and puffy skin.
  • Reduce the appearance of large pores and roll away dead skin cells that may eventually cause blocked pores.
  • Helps smooth the complexion.
  • The cold therapy calms the skin, helping to reduce rosiness and irritated pockets.
  • Contracts blood vessels and helps with skin tightening.
  • With the cryotherapy effect, ice globes can help boost collagen, especially when used in conjunction with suitable products, or to maintain the effects of professional treatments.
  • Brighter and fresher looking skin.
  • Soothes the skin after salon procedures.
  • Boosts healthy lymphatic drainage.

How To Use Ice Globes at Home- Safely?

  1. Follow manufacturers instructions on storage and usage. You can store freezer compatible globes safely in the freezer for the next use.
  2. Care for them by cleaning each time you use them with antibacterial spray or wipes, and gently cleaning them with a clean cloth.
  3. Remove ice globes from the freezer or the fridge, and place in a bowl of cold water before using. If they are frozen together, don’t try to pull them apart.
  4. Apply a serum or gel to the skin before using globes on the skin. Never use frosted globes directly on the skin.
  5. Don’t hold ice globes over one part of the skin for too long, or you may suffer skin burn.
  6. Use a rolling motion rather than a dragging motion to use rollers, and prevent tugging/pulling on the skin.
