TREATMENT
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny, sterilized needles.
As your skin heals, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as sun damage, scarring, dark marks, and ageing.
Micro-needling is also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and it involves using a surgical grade instrument called a dermapen.
The dermapen has lots of tiny needles at the end that make micro injuries or needle pricks in the top layers of your skin.
Microneedling can also be safely performed on the body as well as the face.
First, the therapist prepares the skin by cleansing and disinfecting.
Next, the therapist will use a dermapen to work around areas of the face to create micro injuries in the skin’s surface.
The process takes around 20-30 minutes and, while it involves needles in your face, the process is pretty painless but can be slightly uncomfortable.
Expect some redness for up to a couple days afterward as a result of all the skin stimulation, but it subsides quickly as the healing begins and the results of more glowing, supple skin start to show through.
To get the most effective results, you will need more than one treatment to continually build collagen and elastin.
As certified estheticians explain, “The results are cumulative, just like working out. You’re not tearing your skin down, you’re building it up.”
After your treatment, please be aware and observe the following:
After your treatment, it will seem as though you have a moderate to severe sunburn and your skin could feel warm and tighter than usual.
You may also experience some slight swelling, these are normal and should subside after 1 to 2 hours and
will normally reduce within the same day or 24 hours.
You could see slight redness after 24 hours but only in small areas or spots.
If you have any concerns about any reaction, please contact us
immediately.
After-care advice for Microneedling Treatment:
Please use tepid water for the initial 24 hours to rinse the treated area.
After 24 hours, use a gentle cleanser to cleanse the face for the following 72 hours and gently dry the treated skin.
Always make sure that your hands are clean when touching the treated area.
Do not take any inflammatory medicines for at least 2 weeks post treatment.
It is recommended that makeup or sunscreen should not be applied for 24 hours after
the procedure.
Do not apply any makeup with a makeup brush, especially if it is not clean.
After the initial 24 hours, apply a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with a
minimum SPF 30 for two weeks.
A chemical-free sunscreen is highly recommended.
