What is Microneedling?
If you suffer from fine lines, acne scarring or pigmentation then you may benefit from microneedling treatment. We offer both manual and mechanical microneedling both causing pin point bleeding. This ‘trauma’ causes stimulation of your natural collagen which will refresh and rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. This natural treatment can be used all over the face, the décolletage and the hands.
The Treatment
Prior to the microneedling treatment, topical anaesthetic cream will be applied all over your face to numb the skin. This will minimise the pain post treatment. The treatment itself will take about an hour to perform and you will leave the clinic looking slightly red. The redness is said to reduce by 50% every 4 hours so by the following day most of the redness will have gone. You must also make sure that you wear your SPF 50 every day to optimise the results of the treatment and protect your skin from any sun damage. Your SPF 50 suncream is included in the price of the treatment.
