Microneedling



Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create small punctures in the skin. This minimally invasive treatment is known for several benefits:

  1. Collagen Production: Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain the skin's elasticity and firmness. The tiny injuries created by the needles trigger the body's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production.

  2. Improved Skin Texture: The increase in collagen can help improve the texture of the skin. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

  3. Reduced Scarring: Microneedling has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of scars, including those from acne or surgery. The process promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

  4. Minimised Pore Size: Microneedling may help reduce the size of enlarged pores by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.

  5. Enhanced Absorption of Topical Products: The microchannels created by the needles allow for better absorption of topical skincare products. This means that any serums or creams applied after microneedling may be more effective.

  6. Improved Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can help break up pigmented cells, making it beneficial for individuals with certain types of hyperpigmentation, such as sun damage or melasma.

  7. Hair Growth Stimulation: In addition to its benefits for the skin, microneedling has shown promise in stimulating hair growth. It may be used to address certain types of hair loss.

  8. Minimal Downtime: Compared to more aggressive skin treatments, microneedling typically has minimal downtime. Most people experience some redness and mild swelling for a day or two, but they can usually resume normal activities relatively quickly.

  9. Versatility: Microneedling can be used on various parts of the body, not just the face. It's used to address skin concerns on the neck, chest, hands, and other areas.

  10. Natural-Looking Results: Because microneedling works with the body's natural healing processes, the results tend to be gradual and natural-looking, avoiding an overdone or artificial appearance.

While microneedling can offer numerous benefits, it's essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist to determine if it's suitable for your skin type and specific concerns.

Micro needling should be carried out every 4-6 weeks. To book call 07398217021
