Micro-needling is an effective method to stimulate natural healing ability of the skin.This procedure is an excellent treatment for various skin conditions. It works by penetrating the skin with microneedles that trigger that body’s natural healing response. The regeneration of new, healthy skin cells can disperse dark age spots, help to lighten discoloration, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to fight scarring (including acne scarring) plus give a more even tone to the skin.
During a microneedling session, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise pain. A microneedling device is equipped with sterile needles and is passed over the skin, creating tiny punctures. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s healing process, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin. During microneeding session we will apply a professional serum to your skin that will be absorbed during the procedure. Serums we use are adjusted to skin needs.
Benefits of Microneedling treatment:
- Visibly reduced wrinkles and fine lines – Fine lines and wrinkles form as our collagen stores deplete with age. Microneedling can be used as a preventative measure to boost collagen and delays wrinkles from forming. Increasing collagen production results in smoother, plumper skin that is more toned by plumping the skin tissue underneath the surface.
- Increase Collagen production – Microneedling is great for stimulating collagen production as it triggers the skin’s natural healing response resulting in new and improved collagen tissue. Collagen is the protein that gives our skin its strength and structure.
- Improved skin texture – It makes the skin tighter and firmer, helps shrink your pores and creates a smoother skin texture. Your skin will look and feel softer after each treatment.
- Microneedling enhances the penetration of topical skincare products, allowing for better absorption of active ingredients.
- Reduced the appearance of acne scars – Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scarring by stimulating new collagen and to help resurface the scarring by plumping the skin underneath.
Following treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity, which typically subside within a few days. It’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided to ensure good healing and optimal results. Over the following weeks you will notice gradual improvements in your skin’s tone, texture and overall appearance. Fine lines and wrinkles will become less noticeable, acne scars diminish, and the skin appears brighter and more youthful.
For optimal results, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended, depending on individual skincare needs and expectations. Microneedling offers a safe and effective solution for achieving smoother, more radiant skin with minimal downtime.
