Service Description

What is Microneedling? Microneedling (also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy) is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage and ageing. Why use a Microneedling pen? Microneedling Pen is a unique electronic mechanism which allows the treatment intensity to be controlled to best suit your needs. A solution is also applied to the skin, containing hyaluronic acid, minerals, vitamins and peptides, which stimulates cell proliferation and so reduces the skin’s contours and improves elasticity. The microneedling pen treatment is targeted and ideal for clients who have localised areas of concern. What are the benefits of Microneedling? Microneedling is most commonly used to treat the following skin conditions: Dull skin: Rejuvenate tired and dull skin to combat the initial signs of ageing. Wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles on the face can be visibly reduced, as microneedling triggers collagen production. Scarring: Scars from Acne and Chicken Pox can be improved and an uneven texture can be smoothed out with microneedling. Pigmentation: Can help to fade dark patches such as pigmentation due to sun damage or ageing How will my skin look immediately after treatment? Skin will look slightly red. This will start to subside over the next few hours/days. You will be provided with aftercare guidance via email, following these tips will help reduce redness and any swelling. Is the treatment uncomfortable? Microneedling is a fairly painless procedure. A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure you are comfortable throughout. How long do the effects last, and how frequently should I have the treatment? This depends on your skin condition and will be discussed in more depth during your consultation. For most skin concerns the results are very long lasting. It is recommended a course of 3-6 treatments initially, at monthly intervals and a treatment every few months to maintain your results. For more severe Acne scarring & sun damage, additional treatments may be needed for optimal results.
