Microneedling
Microneedling is a procedure that stimulates the
skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and
safely, creating smoother, brighter, healthier,
younger-looking skin.
Microneedling can significantly improve the
appearance of:
•
Acne scars and scars
•
Aged and sun damaged skin
•
Facial and décolletage lines and wrinkles
•
Hyperpigmentation
•
Stretch marks
Here at Beauty Clinic in Rochford we use Clinicare
rollers, which use 540 fine titanium needles to excite
the skin sufficiently enough to stimulate
collagen/elastin production. Resulting micro-
channels also aid in infusing skincare products for
greater penetration and increasing overall efficacy.
During the treatment
We will use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin
making the procedure comfortable; it will normally
take up to 30 minutes for the topical anaesthetic to
work and a further 20 – 30 minutes for the
Microneedling treatment. The Microneedling device
is rolled over the area to produce thousands of
micro-needle columns in the skin. The column will
close rapidly enabling the skin to recover quickly –
often in the same day.
Is there any downtime?
Immediately after the treatment it will look like
you’ve got moderate sunburn and your skin may
feel tighter than usual. This will start to subside after
1 – 2 hours, with only slight redness the following
day. You should avoid make-up immediately after,
mineral make-up may be applied. Also avoid
exercise and sun exposure for the first 48 hours
after treatment.
How quickly should I expect
results?
It can take up to 6 weeks to see results as that’s how
long it takes for new collagen to form. After 1-3
weeks your skin texture and tone will improve and
any pigment start to lift. After 6 weeks you’ll notice
an improvement to the appearance of fine lines,
wrinkles and scarring.
How many treatments will I
need?
It is recommended a course of 3 – 6 treatments for
maximum results spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart.
