Benefits of Microneedling
✦ Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling helps to smooth out rough skin and even out skin tone, giving you a radiant complexion.
✦ Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, Microneedling can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
✦ Minimises Pore Size
Regular Microneedling sessions can lead to a noticeable reduction in pore size.
✦ Fades Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation
The treatment is effective in reducing the visibility of acne scars and hyperpigmentation, leading to clearer, more even skin.
✦ Enhances Skin Care Product Absorption
Microneedling creates micro-channels that enhance the absorption and effectiveness of skin care products.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.
These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Does Microneedling Work?
The procedure usually starts with the application of a numbing cream to ensure comfort.
A professional Microneedling device (BioPenQ2) is then gently rolled or pressed across the treatment area.
The needles gently penetrate the skin at various depths, triggering the body’s natural healing response.
This process not only boosts collagen but also enhances the absorption of targeted solutions that are applied to the skin prior to treatment, making them more effective.
Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
✦ Acne scars
✦ Hyperpigmentation
✦ Sun damage
✦ Fine lines and wrinkles
✦ Uneven skin tone
However, those with infections or certain skin conditions may not be suited for Microneedling, which we can assess on the consultation.
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using ultra-fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Most clients see improvement after 2 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Some conditions such as deep scarring may require up to 6 sessions for noticeable results.
A numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort. Even without, clients report feeling only slight pressure or a tingling sensation.
Recovery time is minimal, with most clients experiencing redness and slight swelling for 24-48 hours post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.
Absolutely yes! Microneedling can be combined with other treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and chemical peels for enhanced results.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and minor skin irritation, which typically subside within a few days.
