MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a definitive cost effective skin rescue option, simple yet effective and suitable for all skin types and skin tones; laser-like results for sun damaged skin, facial and décolleté lines and stretch marks at a fraction of the cost. Microneedling results include skin tightening, skin texture improvement, pore size reduction and improved capillary blood supply.
Microneedling works by producing thousands of microscopic needle columns (0.1mm in width) in the dermis of the skin, these stimulate the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely. These columns close rapidly enabling the skin surface to recover quickly, each treated area eventually contains around 300 micro columns causing symptoms of mild to moderate sunburn which normally recovers the same day with only a little residual redness the following day.
The natural regeneration and repair that the Microneedling creates can take up to 6 weeks to develop as over time new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and the blood supply is enhanced.
Conditions that can benefit from Microneedling
-
Ageing lines, wrinkles, nasolabial folds
-
Enlarged pores often a blight for both young (20 years+) and old
-
Acne scars
-
Stretch marks
How is the procedure performed?
After cleansing the area is covered in topical anaesthetic cream for an hour to ensure a comfortable experience.The area is then treated in sections with the Dermaroller passed over the area 6 times. Once complete the area is then re-cleansed and moisturised. Following treatment the skin feels itchy as if sun burned and the area will look slightly red, again as if sunburned but all externally visible effects will has disappeared by the next day.
How often?
-
Anti-ageing - a course of three spread 6 weeks apart
-
Open pores – a course of two spread 6 weeks apart
-
Acne scars – up to 5 sessions spread 6 weeks apart
Is it safe?
There are virtually no negative side effects, and none have been reported in over 150,000 procedures performed worldwide.
What effects to expect?
-
Anti-ageing - the effects of increased collagen in the dermal layer have been well documented resulting in more elastic 'youthful' skin texture. The beauty of the Dermaroller is that the patient also experiences a degree of pigment reduction, complexion smoothing and closure of enlarged pores.
-
Scars - collagen fibres help to lift depressed scar tissue and an improvement in the blood supply to the injured area helps to bring colour to the scar allowing it to blend more naturally with surrounding tissue. It can take up to 6 weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen and the process will continue over the following months, providing you with a gradual and long lasting enhancement.
