Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that was designed for improving the appearance of acne and surgical scars. It’s also very effective for getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines and achieving rejuvenated, youthful-looking skin.

The actual microneedling treatment involves a device with tiny needles creating controlled micro-wounds in the skin. This stimulates the growth of the fibroblast cells, which triggers the production of collagen and elastin. The production of new collagen and elastin then results in rejuvenated, tighter looking skin.

Our Dermapen Device uses very fine needles and vertically oscillates at a high speed making the treatment quick and relatively comfortable. Our trained aestheticians only use the depth needed to treat concerns outlined.

The treated area may feel hot and tight for up to 48 hours after the treatment.

Rejuvenation: 4 – 6 treatments, 2 – 4 weeks apart

Pigmentation: 4 – 8 treatments, 4 weeks apart

Acne scarring: 6 treatments, 6 weeks apart

Stretch marks: 4 – 8 treatments, 6 weeks apart

Lines & Wrinkles: 4 – 6 treatments, 4 weeks apart

DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE SUN OR GO ON SUNBEDS

DO NOT USE ANY ACTIVE INGREDIENT” SKIN PRODUCTS

Post-procedure, avoid any skincare product that has active ingredients. These commonly include things like Alpha Hydroxyl Acids, Retinol and other similar agents. The skin will be highly sensitive and these products will only irritate it further.

USE COLLAGEN-STIMULATING PEPTIDES

As microneedling serves to stimulate the production of collagen, the skin needs higher amounts of collagen than normal to recover optimally. Collagen Stimulating Peptides assist in that process, further aiding in the stimulation of collagen production.

AVOID THE USE OF MAKEUP AFTER TREATMENT

It is imperative that you let your skin “breathe” and recover for 24 hours after the procedure. The skin channels are open, and using a makeup brush can penetrate the pores, especially if they are very thin, causing further irritation. Using a makeup brush that has been used before can contaminate the skin and, consequently, lead to infections.

USE AN ANTIOXIDANT SERUM

Antioxidant serums have properties that assist in healing the skin. Serums assist in soothing the skin and further reduce irritation.

AVOID SWEATING

As you sweat the pores of your skin will reopen, and the bacteria on your skin may enter the skin punctures. This can lead to either a reaction or infection.

DRINK WATER

It is important to stay hydrated before and after your procedure to help your skin heal and rejuvenate faster.

Okay, I know you’ve probably heard of PDRN (PolyDeoxyRiboNucleotide), but let me break it down. This stuff is gold when it comes to skin regeneration.

Basically, it’s made from small DNA fragments that promote cellular repair and collagen production. This treatment provides real, long-term results, and PDRN does exactly that by working deep within the skin to repair damage and promote elasticity.

When used with microneedling it’s perfect for rejuvenating skin, boosting hydration, and tightening everything up.

They get right in there, boosting the production of collagen and elastin, which means firmer, tighter skin with fewer wrinkles.

And the best part? It works for everything, wrinkles, expression lines, scars, even sagging skin.
