HOW IT WORKS

The tiny microneedles penetrate the skin and create thousands of micro-punctures in the skin.  This process triggers our body’s own natural wound healing response that involves a dramatic increase in the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. 

Results are increased dermal thickness and firmness, reduction in the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles, improved skin texture, refinement of pores and a reduction in the appearance of scars.

For best results I recommend a course of 4-6 treatments - however the number of treatments needed does vary, depending on the concern being treated.

Microneedling treatments are performed every 4-6 weeks.

The recovery period is relatively short. During the first 12 hours, redness, swelling, tightness of skin and warmth are all normaI. It feels very similar to a sunburn.

In the 24-48 hours following the treatment the skin can remain pink and again warmth and tightness of the skin are normal. 

During the first 5-7 days the skin may feel dry and can occasionally flake and peel, skin will be more sensitive than usual.

Treatments can be tolerated without numbing cream - however this can vary, depending on person and depth of treatment.  I will discuss this with you during your consultation and determine whether numbing cream would be appropriate.
