microneedling
Tailored to your skin microneedling offered with glow cocktail, refresh cocktail, tightening, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, anti-aging, brightening, replenishing, and hydrating cocktails and serums.
The cocktail or serum used will be discussed with yourself prior to the treatment.
Microneedling, also called percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is performed using a handheld, pen-shaped device, electrically powered, with tiny needles that make precise, microscopic punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” do not leave scars; they work by helping to stimulate the skin to repair itself naturally through a process called dermal remodeling. This process starts with inflammation, which stimulates the skin to produce new collagen (the elastic fibers that make skin tight, smooth, and youthful). Collagen levels in the skin decline as we age, and new collagen can be produced when the skin is in repair mode.
Tailored to your skin microneedling is offered with either a glow cocktail, refresh cocktail, tightening, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, anti-aging, brightening, replenishing, and hydrating cocktails and serums. Cocktail or serum used will be discussed with yourself prior to the treatment.
The procedure usually takes 10-30 minutes, depending on how big the area is. A course of treatments may be needed for desired results this will be discussed upon consultation. First, you’ll get a numbing cream smoothed onto your face to maximise comfort. Then a pen-shaped electronic tool with tiny needles will move around your face and a tailored to you serum or cocktail will then be spread onto the face and be absorbed into the microscopic channels made by the needles. The goal of the procedure is to start your body’s healing process by sending collagen and elastin to patch up the tiny injuries. Collagen helps fill in and smooth out wrinkles.
Most people get microneedling on the face in the form of microneedling facials, but it can also done on other parts of the body, such as your stomach or thighs for problems such as enlarged pores and stretch marks or to tighten loose and sagging skin.
Microneedling can:
· Improve wrinkles, minimize pore size and induce skin tightening.
· Stimulate collagen production which promotes rejuvenation
· Improve surgical, traumatic, burn and acne scars
· Hyperpigmentation (brown spots and melasma)
· Improve stretch marks.
