MICRONEEDLING HAS A WHOLE HOST OF BENEFITS
Microneedling is a technique that stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin in the skin by puncturing the dermis with microscopic needles. This treatment harnesses the skin’s natural ability to heal itself, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin. Beyond addressing concerns like pores, fine wrinkles, loss of elasticity, scarring, and pigmentation, microneedling also enhances the penetration of topical products deeper into the skin, amplifying their effectiveness. This dual action makes microneedling a versatile and effective treatment for various skin concerns.

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?
Collagen, a crucial protein in the skin, provides structural support by acting like a net to hold skin cells together. It contributes to a smooth and youthful appearance, particularly abundant in our younger years. However, as we age, collagen begins to break down, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
Microneedling is a procedure that capitalizes on the skin’s natural repair mechanism, boosting the body’s ability to produce collagen. The tiny needles used in microneedling create microscopic channels in the dermis, initiating the healing process. This procedure is known for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of scars, and promoting a more youthful tone. Microneedling is celebrated as a non-invasive method to achieve youthful, dewy-looking skin by harnessing the body’s innate healing processes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Medical Microneedling also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, works for a variety of skin conditions, including:– Treatment of scars (including burn scars, acne scars and surgical scars)
– Stretch marks (including post pregnancy)
– Wrinkles and fine lines
– Pigmentation marks
Microneedling produces channels in the dermis which stimulate the body’s natural defenses to repair the skin. This leads to the production of concentrated amounts of collagen and proteins to the treated areas of the skin. This results in the skins thickness being increased by up to 80%, smoothing scars, visibly reducing stretch marks and erasing wrinkles.
There is very little down time, although expect your skin to look and feel mildly sunburnt for about 24 hours after the treatment. It will also start to flake after a day or two as the skin cells slough off. This is a normal reaction and after about a week you’ll see the new, brighter, smooth skin appear. A topical cream is used to lessen sensitivity on the face, so there is no pain during the treatment.
It varies by patient, but immediate side effects include redness, flaking, and mild irritation on the treated areas. These aren’t anything to worry about and will subside within 24-72 hours. It may be difficult to apply makeup over treated skin whilst it is flaking; similar to skin peeling after sunburn. Do not exfoliate as this will irritate the skin.
