At-Home Skincare Treatments – Without The Clinic

Keen to achieve your best ever skin, but don’t want to book a salon trip or go near a needle? We’ve rounded up some needle-free alternative beauty treatments that are worth considering.

It’s worth being mindful of the differences between needle-based treatments and non-surgical routes. Non-invasive treatments may require consistent application over time, and won’t achieve the same long-term results. That said, they can be cheaper, more convenient and provide a steady, gradual improvement to skin appearance and feel.

At-home treatments for lines and wrinkles

Muscle relaxing injections can be used to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles. Topical application of anti-ageing skincare can work over time to smooth the skin, although it won’t produce exactly the same effect as injections.

The first ingredient to look out for? Our age-defying peptide technology, Matrixyl 3000 Plus™, found in No7 Laboratories Line Correcting Booster Serum. This powerful serum is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of even the deepest, most stubborn lines and wrinkles. Women said this serum gave the best results they had seen, and better results than they thought possible from skincare.

Retinol is another best-in-class contender when it comes to achieving a more youthful appearance through skincare. Try our Essential Night Time Retinol Regime, expertly formulated to offer transformational results while still being gentle on the skin.

LED light therapy is also an at-home option for treating fine lines. No7 Laboratories Age Defying LED Mask harnesses the power of red and near infra-red LEDs to target multiple signs of ageing. Fine lines appear visibly reduced and smoothed, skin feels firmer and the appearance of skin texture is improved.

At-home treatments for firmer, smoother skin

Face and lip fillers, such as hyaluronic acid injections, can be used to temporarily fill lines and wrinkles and smooth the skin. Alternative treatments will depend on your aesthetic goals – topical applications won’t help with adding facial volume in cheeks, lips or under-eye bags, for example, but may help to restore a more youthful appearance.

If you want firmer, more lifted skin, No7 Laboratories Firming Booster Serum is a non-invasive choice. Combining our next generation age-defying Collagen Peptide Technology with a Firming Complex of Hyaluronic Acid and Hibiscus peptides, it’s clinically proven to give a visibly lifted look to the face and neck in just two weeks.

At-home solutions to brighten dull skin

Skin needling involves rolling a small device covered in tiny needles across the skin, and can be used to help improve the appearance of scars. Facial acupuncture works in a similar way, using strategically placed needles in key areas of the face. The needles create tiny puncture wounds which stimulate the skin to self-repair.

Chemical exfoliation, such as peels, can help to remove dead skin cells and brighten skin naturally. No7 Laboratories Resurfacing Peel 15% Glycolic Acid promotes skin surface revitalisation for smoother, more radiant skin. Skin looks brighter and more radiant, while skin tone looks more even and the appearance of long-standing marks are reduced.

Serums are another alternative to target hyperpigmentation and skin plumpness. Achieve fast, visible results with No7 Laboratories Dark Spot Correcting Booster Serum. Formulated with 6x more Brightening complex than our clinically proven serums, and packed with key ingredients including Vitamin C, Emblica and Sophora.

Overall, there are plenty of non-surgical alternatives to injection-based beauty treatments to explore. Consider your goals for the treatment and take into account the difference in cost, speed and convenience when making your decision.
