MICRONEEDLING

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.

A microneedling session is an effective treatment for the following concerns on the face:

  • Reducing acne scars/Facial scarring
  • Reduce facial pitting
  • Large pore treatment
  • Milia treatment
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dull, sallow skin
  • Microneedling treatments are also suitable for stretch marks on the body

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is most commonly used to treat the following skin conditions:

Dull skin: Rejuvenate tired and dull skin and 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.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Initial Consultation:

You will be required to have an initial consultation with our Aesthetic Skin Therapist. Our therapist will assess your condition and determine the most appropriate form of treatment. During your consultation they will be able to answer any questions you may have about your skin condition and give you personalised advice. If they decide your skin condition can be treated, they will advise you on steps needed to prepare for a treatment and book you in for your treatment.

On The Day of Your Treatment:

On the day of your treatment, your aesthetic therapist will assess your skin and advise how many Microneedling treatment sessions will be necessary to achieve your skin goals (either 1, 3 or 6 sessions).

On the day of your appointment if you are a new client you should arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time to complete a questionnaire, consent form and photography will be taken (This photography is confidential and is for us to monitor progress).

The treatment itself takes between 10-20 minutes.

A cocktail of serums is chosen following your treatment to enhance the results of your treatment (depending on your skincare needs).

If you wish to give a more dramatic result our Radiant 30 chemical peel can be applied to your skin immediately after the micro-needling facial, when your skin channels are open, to give an enhanced skin result.

SPF will then be applied to protect your skin and aftercare advice will be discussed. Your aesthetic therapist will advise you how soon you should have your next session (typically between 3-6 weeks) and will schedule this for you.
