Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Micro-needling is a minimally invasive technique combining the generation of micro channels in the skin and the topical application of active ingredients. Mini-perforations are created in the skin that work to increase the absorption of topically applied products, activate the release of growth factors and stimulate the wound healing process to produce collagen as well as tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping and firming effect.

It can also tackle other skin damage problems such as scarring, sun damage and ageing.

 

Micro-needling stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely, creating smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.

The benefits of Microneedling are:

 

• Improves lines & wrinkles

• Skin tightening, natural collagen induction, lifting and rejuvenation

• Improves acne scars

• Improves sun damaged & aging skin

• Improves skin hyperpigmentation

• Minimises large pores

• Aids penetration of active ingredients

• Improves under-eye bags

 

How many treatments will I need?

​

The number of treatments required depends of the problem being treated. Usually between 3 to 6 treatments are recommended - Sally can advise on consultation.

 

Are there any side effects? 

 

The potential side effects of micro-needling treatments are minimal but may include post-treatment redness.
