Micro-needling
Micro-needling treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime following treatment so are ideal for patients new to aesthetic treatments. The treatment involves using small sterile needles to make micro-injuries to the skin surface. This stimulates production of collagen and elastin within the skin and promotes the skins healing process.
As we age, collagen production decreases and this can lead to sagging of the skin, which is often particularly evident on the face. Micro-needling is therefore beneficial to help reduce and slow the effects of ageing. Following the treatment, sagging skin can appear tightened and skin should look brighter and more radiant.
The benefits of micro-needling treatments include:
-
Improves uneven skin tone
-
Boosts skin elasticity
-
Reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin
-
Improves the appearance of scars and acne scarring
-
Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores
-
Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
Micro-needling treatments are most effective when undertaken as a course of treatments and many people report significant improvements after just two or three treatments. We offer a range of great value packages, including when three micro-needling treatments are booked together as a course. Ideally the treatment should be repeated approximately every four weeks as part of the course, however this will be assessed as part of the consultation process depending on the desired treatment outcome. The results can be expected to last several months and will be prolonged by regular maintenance treatments.
All patients are assessed for medical suitability prior to treatment.
