Micro-Needling
Microneedling or Skin Needling is a minimally invasive technique involving the use of multiple, sterile needles to puncture the skin in order to cause micro “injuries”. The concept of creating such physical trauma is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself when it is compromised through injury and thus stimulating collagen.
​
The body’s wound healing and repair function is triggered by the treatment. Microneedling helps minimise lines and wrinkles, improves the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenates ageing skin. As we age and get older our collagen and elastin production slows causing ageing skin and wrinkles.
​
This treatment is fantastic for ;

During an initial consultation appointment we will carefully assess your skin to establish if you are suitable for this treatment. We will thoroughly explain the procedure, risks and benefits prior to treatment.
​
There are some medical conditions which prevent us from proceeding with treatment such as active cancer, open wounds or active bacterial, fungal or viral (cold sores, warts) skin infections and pregnancy.
Medications such as isotretinoin (Accutane) are also treatment contraindications.
A full consultation will be carried out prior to any SkinPen treatment to ensure client suitability.
​
Immediately before the treatment a topical anaesthetic product will be applied to the skin for 15-30 minutes,.
​
Once the skin has numbed sufficiently, the anaesthetic product will be removed. and the device is slowly moved across the skin in small sections.
On completion of the treatment a mask is applied to aid the healing process and a soothing moisturiser is then applied. On average, a full face treatment lasts for 60 minutes.
​
The total healing time depends on each individual but the side effects and downtime of microneedling is minimal. Most clients experience slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild to moderate sunburn) for 24 hours post-treatment following the microneedling procedure.
​
The skin may also feel tight immediately after the treatment. Mild shedding of dead skin may also be experienced for a few days afterwards.
​
Full aftercare instructions will be given.
