What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction, involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. The primary purpose of microneedling is to stimulate the body’s natural wound healing processes, resulting in cellular turnover and increased collagen and elastin production. This helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Microneedling can treat various skin concerns beyond signs of ageing. It is widely used for treating acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. Additionally, it has been found to increase the absorption of topical treatments. This versatility makes microneedling a choice among those looking for a comprehensive skincare approach that simultaneously addresses multiple issues.
The procedure is suitable for all skin types and tones, offering an alternative to laser treatments, especially for individuals with darker skin tones who may be at risk of hyperpigmentation.
What to Expect from Microneedling
Initially, a detailed consultation is conducted to assess the patient’s skin condition and determine the appropriateness of microneedling for their specific concerns. This personalised approach ensures that the treatment aligns with the individual’s aesthetic goals and skin health needs.
During the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort. The microneedling device is then used to gently puncture the skin, triggering the natural healing process. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity immediately afterwards, which typically subsides within a few days. Post-treatment care is crucial, and our team provides comprehensive instructions to support the healing process, including the use of specific skincare products.
The full results of microneedling become visible in the weeks following the treatment as the skin repairs itself. Patients often require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Our clinic closely monitors the progress of each patient, adjusting the treatment plan as needed.
