FAQ's

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin. It stimulates the skin's natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. This results in smoother, firmer skin and can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, including acne scars. Microneedling also enhances the absorption of topical products, making them more effective. It is suitable for most skin types and requires minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly resume daily activities. The micro-injuries created during treatment promote a healthier, more youthful appearance, making microneedling a popular choice for those seeking non-invasive skin improvement.

FAQ's

The results of microneedling can vary, with some improvements lasting for months and others for years, depending on the skin issue being addressed. For example, microneedling may offer long-lasting improvement for scarring, while results for other concerns, like fine lines and wrinkles, may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. Factors such as your skin condition, age, and how well you maintain your skin after the procedure will affect how long the results last. To maintain the microneedling benefits, touch-up sessions every 3 to 6 months are recommended, alongside proper skin care practices, like hydration and sun protection. Several factors play a role in determining how long the results will last:

 The condition of your skin
 The severity of the issues
 Your age
 Your skin type
 The treatment area
 How well you maintain your skin post treatment

The final results of microneedling depend on the aftercare and downtime. For the first 24 hours after treatment, your face may be more susceptible to infection so avoid touching it. Cleanse the area with water or antibacterial solution Clinisept and use the provided hydrating moisturiser as required. For the first few days try to keep your face out of direct sunlight and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher.

Avoid Retinoids, Acids, etc.… — for a good 7 days! Avoid using make-up for at least 24 hours and let your skin breathe. A temporary buildup of tissue around the hair strand, redness and swelling are all normal. You may feel like you have a typical mild sunburn which is relatively quick taking from just hours up to two days only.

Your skin may also peel or 'flake' while it is healing. Most people can return to their everyday activities within one or two days, although it usually takes a week for healing to take place.

FAQ's

Yes! Combining microneedling with other treatments can often enhance the results.

Some popular options that complement microneedling benefits include:
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP); Also known as the " facial " PRP involves extracting a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and then applying it to the skin before or after microneedling. This method can enhance the healing process.

Serums; Following microneedling the skin becomes more open to absorbing products. Serums containing ingredients, like acid, peptides or growth factors can be used to nourish and moisturise the skin.

Chemical Peels; In some cases practitioners might suggest combining a chemical peel with microneedling to further exfoliate the skin and improve its texture and complexion.
