Microneedling treatments stimulate the production of collagen to create smoother, firmer skin. It also reduces acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores and blackheads.
The low down
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment suitable for all skin types 1 – 6. It doesn’t use any form of heat, so it’s a great anti-ageing and resurfacing option for darker skin types.
To achieve your desired result we recommend a minimum of 3-6 treatments depending on the concern. For best value and results, combine our Skin Journeys™ in-clinic treatments with at-home skincare.
After your Microneedling treatment, your skin may appear flushed, with slight redness and possible mild swelling. You may also experience light flaking. But don’t worry, most of the redness and swelling should subside within 24 hours. The entire healing process takes 2 to 5 days.
Microneedling treatments can cause some discomfort but aren’t painful. The vibrating effect of the Microneedling interrupts the pain receptors in the skin which makes numbing cream unnecessary. The Microneedling isn’t rolled or dragged across the skin like a dermal roller, so the microscopic punctures it makes are clean, direct and cause little to no pain because there is no tearing of the epidermal layers.
We recommend repeating your Microneedling treatments every 4 weeks until you achieve your desired results. For scar correction an average of 6 – 12 treatments are normally recommended with lasting results commonly seen after six months.
