MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is procedure that is done using a Dermapen which is a pen-like device with multiple tiny needles at the tip is glided over the skin creating small, gentle punctures on the skin. This stimulates a wound healing response with intense renewal, repair, and rejuvenation. 

Microneedling is used to improve the way the skin looks and feels. It can help with different skin concerns such as Acne Scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, sunspots, lost elasticity, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, uneven skin tones & dull skin. 

The main benefit of microneedling is increased collagen production; collagen combats wrinkles, and collagen level naturally decline with age. Any intervention that encourages collagen synthesis can make skin look and act younger. 

In regards of Acne scarring, microneedling improves acne scarring this is because the needles can break down hardened scar tissue and encourage it to rebuild. 

Microneedling for pigmentation, it will help lighten pigmentation and dark spots this is due to the power of collagen production and its ability to repair and restore your skin. 

Finally it can help minimise the appearance of stretch marks. 

 Results usually start to become visible within 6 weeks of your initial treatment, full results are 6 weeks after your final treatment session.
For optimum results, a course of 3 – 6 treatments are recommended depending on your skin concerns and severity this will be considered upon consultation. 

Rejuvenating results last for approximately 12 months or more. If Dermapen is used to treat scars or stretch marks, the improvements are permanent. However individual factors apply and some clients get a longer or shorter duration. 

Everyone's skin is different, therefore everyone will experience different timing when it comes to achieving the results they want. However, a general timeline of what to expect is immediately after the treatment, the skin will likely be red and slightly swollen, with hot and a little bit of burning sensation which will usually settle in about 4 hours. The redness might last a couple of days up to 3 days. 

3 to 5 days following the treatment  you might experience some peeling, this is completely normal and is not a cause of concern. 

One week following the treatment most of our patients will notice improvements in their skin. Initial results include improved skin tone and improved skin texture. For some patients results may take a little bit longer, so do not worry if this is the case for you! 

4-6 weeks following the treatment this is the time when our patients tend to notice better skin texture and firmer skin.
