Microneedling

Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural healing process by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin production. This treatment can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, reduces stretch marks, fades scaring,  can stimulate hair growth, reduces enlarged pores, and can even out skin tone, Results develop gradually over several weeks as your skin regenerates, with optimal results typically visible after a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Treatment

The treatment uses a specialised pen-like device fitted with fine sterile needles(typically ranging in depth from 0.25mm to 2.5mm) that create tiny channels in the skin’s surface, dermal rollers are used for larger areas such as back, stomach and legs. Before treatment, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The device or roller is passed over the treatment area multiple times in different directions, and the depth is adjusted according to your skin concerns and the area being treated. A hydrating serum is applied during and after the procedure to enhance results and soothe the skin.

Aftercare

Your skin may appear a little red and also feel sensitive immediately after treatment, similar to mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. You may experience some dryness and flaking as your skin renews itself over the following days. Minor swelling is common, particularly around more delicate areas, and usually resolves within 1-2 days.  You must wear an SPF50 during this phase to protect the skin whilst it is healing.
