Microneedling
What skin problems is the treatment suitable for?
Anti-Ageing - Microneedling procedures boost the body’s natural healing response to increase collagen and elastin production for reduced wrinkles and lines.
Scarring - Microneedling is effective for revision of all scar types including acne scarring.
Pigmentation - Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling removes the risk of heat injury and hypopigmentation risks, while promoting optimised cell function.
Stretch Marks - Many practitioners and patients have claimed that microneedling have been more effective in treating stretch marks than other methods.
Enlarged Pores - Microneedling stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, plumping up and tightening the appearance of the enlarged pores.
Acne - Microneedling visibly improve the appearance of problematic skin breakouts and black or whiteheads (comedones) and active acne.
How to prepare for the treatment?
Microneedling is a skincare treatment that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries on the skin's surface. Proper preparation can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and minimize potential risks. Here's how to prepare for a microneedling treatment:
1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with us. We will discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and any medications you are currently taking.
2. Avoid sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure and use sun protection. Sunburn or recent sun exposure can increase the risk of complications and slow down the healing process.
3. Discontinue certain products: Avoid using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other potent skincare products at least a week before the treatment, as they can increase skin sensitivity.
4. Stop certain medications: Consult with your healthcare provider about discontinuing blood-thinning medications or supplements, as they can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
5. Stay hydrated: Maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to the treatment. Hydrated skin tends to heal more efficiently.
6. Skincare routine: Follow a gentle skincare routine in the days before your treatment. Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants that can irritate the skin.
7. Avoid active skin infections: If you have active skin infections, such as cold sores or acne outbreaks, it's advisable to postpone the treatment until the skin has healed.
8. Hair removal: Avoid waxing, threading, or depilatory creams on the treatment area a few days before the session to prevent additional irritation.
9. Come with a clean face: Arrive for your appointment with a clean face, free from makeup or skincare products.
10. Follow post-care instructions: Be prepared to follow the post-care instructions provided by us. This may include avoiding sun exposure, using specific skincare products, and refraining from vigorous exercise for a certain period.
Always consult with us for personalized advice tailored to your skin type and condition. We can provide guidance based on your specific needs and ensure a safe and effective microneedling experience.
