Microneedling Treatment
What is Microneedling?
The procedure usually takes 10-20 minutes, depending on how big the area is. Most people need 4-6 treatments to see a difference.
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, but it can also be done on other parts of the body, such as your stomach or thighs.
What is a Dermapen?
Dermapen is a micro-needling facial that is great for reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring and improvement of the complexion of the skin. Micro-needling also stimulates collagen through the skin which causes anti-aging results such as tightening, plumping, and improvement of the skin's appearance.
The Dermapen works by providing a fast response through the segmented delivery of microneedles to the skin. This causes micro-injuries to the outer and inner layers of the skin. As a result, the body's natural healing response is triggered which causes the skin to rejuvenate itself.
What can it be used to treat?
FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
Our skin's healing process slows down as we age. Dermapen creates micro-injuries to our skin which triggers our body's natural healing response. When collagen and elastin are stimulated through this healing response our skin will look refreshed and plumped, which will reduce the appearance of any fine lines and wrinkles.
Our therapists can target fine lines and wrinkles by repeating the Dermapen treatment in specific concerned areas, once the course has finished the skin will appear plump, healthy, and smooth.
SCARRING (ACNE SCARRING)
In terms of scarring, Dermapen uses the same principle as reducing fine lines and wrinkles. By triggering the body's healing response new cells are made and stimulated, meaning scarring, especially pitted acne scarring skin is rejuvenated and encouraged to heal with a smoother more subtle appearance.
It is important to note that commitment and a course of sessions are necessary for scarring, our therapists can provide bespoke scarring plans to give you the best results for your scarring concerns.
LARGE PORES AND SKIN TEXTURE
Enlarged pores can be a concern of many of our clients, micro-needling is a great treatment to reduce overall pore size. As the microthin needles penetrate the skin this activates the production of healing with results in a smooth and tightened skin appearance, reducing any signs of enlarged pores.
