Microneedling with SkinPen

Promoting production of collagen and elastin

What does SkinPen Microneedling treatment do?

SkinPen microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These tiny punctures stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, essential components for healthy, youthful-looking skin.

How does SkinPen Microneedling work?

Microneedling works by utilising a device equipped with tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that help maintain skin structure and elasticity, contributing to a smoother, firmer appearance.

During the microneedling procedure, the device is passed over the targeted areas, creating microscopic punctures. This process not only prompts the skin to repair itself but also enhances the absorption of skincare products applied during and after treatment. As the skin heals, it undergoes remodelling, resulting in improvements such as reduced fine lines and wrinkles, minimised scars and hyperpigmentation, and overall enhanced skin texture and tone.

The depth and intensity of microneedling can be adjusted based on individual skin concerns and treatment goals, making it a versatile option for various skin types and conditions. The effects of microneedling are typically gradual, with initial improvements visible within a few weeks, and optimal results becoming more apparent over several months as collagen continues to rebuild. Overall, microneedling is valued for its ability to rejuvenate the skin through natural processes, offering a non-surgical approach to achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

How long do SkinPen results last?

SkinPen Microneedling results can last for up to a year or more with proper skincare. Patients should use sunscreen and moisturisers with SPF protection daily and avoid habits such as smoking, which can lead to premature ageing.

For those seeking long-term skin rejuvenation, multiple treatments may be necessary, depending on individual needs and goals. For example, those with existing wrinkles might benefit from additional sessions to further reduce their appearance.

Overall, SkinPen Microneedling is an effective solution for achieving smoother, younger-looking skin. While it isn't a one-time fix, the results can be long-lasting with proper care. It's crucial to find an experienced aesthetician who understands your skin type and has a track record with this procedure to ensure optimal results from your treatment.

Microneedling by SkinPen Before and After

Is there any downtime?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure known for its brief recovery period, typically involving very little downtime. The procedure itself usually lasts about 45 minutes, making it convenient to fit into a busy schedule. One of the advantages of microneedling is its versatility—it can be safely performed throughout the year and is suitable for all skin tones and types, whether it's applied to the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, or back.

After a SkinPen microneedling session, it's normal to experience mild swelling and redness, similar to a mild sunburn. However, these effects typically diminish within about 2 days post-treatment. For best results, most individuals undergo a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. This gradual approach allows the skin to heal and rejuvenate effectively, resulting in optimal outcomes over time.

Microneedling with Meso-Infusion

Mesotherapy is a technique designed to enhance the absorption of topical products by creating micro-channels in the skin, allowing specialised serums to penetrate deeply. Our unique treatment combines the potent benefits of both Microneedling and Mesotherapy, offering an unparalleled skin rejuvenation experience.

During this procedure, an anti-ageing complex rich in over 50 dermofunctional elements such as hyaluronic acid, minerals, amino acids, and vitamins is gently micro-needled into the skin. These revitalising ingredients work synergistically to promote skin brightness, deep hydration, and improved texture. Meanwhile, microneedling stimulates collagen production, addressing concerns like skin laxity, pore size, wrinkles, and scars.

Ideal for clients preparing for special events, especially popular among brides-to-be, this treatment delivers visible results. For optimal outcomes, we recommend a series of up to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
