Microneedling

Microneedling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves using a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production, and improving the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

Microneedling can address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores. It can also improve skin tone and promote a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Most individuals experience only mild discomfort or a sensation similar to light scratching during the treatment.

Results can vary depending on individual factors and the specific skin concern being addressed. Some individuals may start to see improvements within a few weeks, while more significant changes may take several months as collagen production continues. A series of sessions is often recommended for optimal results.

The number of sessions required depends on the individual’s skin condition and goals. Typically, a series of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is recommended. Maintenance sessions may be suggested to prolong the results.

After the treatment, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days to a week. It is important to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

Microneedling can be combined with other treatments such as topical serums, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or radiofrequency (RF) energy for enhanced results.

Microneedling is generally safe and suitable for most skin types. However, you will require a skin consultation with one of our experienced doctors to determine eligibility.
