Microneedling (maintenance session)

Service Description

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure which uses an automated pen-like device with multiple, tiny, sterile needles which create controlled micro-injuries in the top layers of the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural inflammatory and wound healing processes during which the skin increases its production of collagen and elastin (the proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful). New, healthy skin cells then start to replace old or damaged ones, which is what leads to improved texture, tone, and elasticity. Microneedling can be performed to treat skin concerns ranging from fine lines and wrinkles, to acne scars, rosacea, large pores, stretch marks and scars, hyperpigmentation and sunspots, uneven skin tone or texture, and skin laxity (mild sagging). Your microneedling treatment will be carried out using the Dermapen 4 (an automated device which has been on the market since 2018) and the associated, award winning, Dermaceutical skincare products. The deice is used to create the micro-injuries but also to allow the injection of tailored serums deep into the skin where they will be the most effective. The next step would be the 'Uber Pro Peel' - a chemical peel exclusively designed to enhance the results of microneedling procedures. This is then followed by a series of soothing, calming and cooling steps, including a post-procedure face mask, rich moisturisers, and a repairing cover-up SPF. The recovery time after microneedling with Dermapen is minimal, but expect there may be some redness for up to 24-48 hours. All of our microneedling treatments include a complementary LED light therapy session - ideal post-microneedling as the red light rays encourage healing and reduces redness and inflammation. It also supports the production of serotonin, a naturally occurring chemical essential for sleep, wellbeing and happiness! You should start to see some subtle results after 1 session, however for the full effects of microneedling we do recommend a course of 3 sessions, with maintenance procedures once or twice a year. Treatments will be spaced out between 2-8 weeks, depending on your skin concerns.
