Microneedling is an ever increasingly popular and safe skin renewal technique which restores the youthful, healthy appearance of your skin at a much lower cost compared to similar treatments and has almost no “downtime”.

It gives similar results to ablative techniques such as deep chemical peels, lasers and fraxel, and is therefore is less invasive and does not require the removal of the skin’s surface. Because of this, healing time is also shorter and there is less chance of post treatment sensitivity to UV light.

Microneedling is unique as one of the very few skin treatments suitable for treating all skins, such as fragile skin around the eyes, mouth, on the neck and on ethnic skins. The basic concept of microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to self repair when it is physically damaged by cuts, burns and other abrasions. Following injury to the skin, the body re-uses damaged collagen and elastin fibres to produce new structures. Microneedling gives way to controlled induction to the skin’s self-repair mode, by creating micro-injuries that instigate new collagen synthesis but does not pose a risk of permanent scarring.

Microneedling treats many concerns. It does this in a number of ways, by creating tiny micro channels it allows us to introduce product into the skin far deeper than by applying it to the surface alone. Hyaluronic acid is one of the ingredients we often use during this treatment, Hyaluronic acid is produced by your own body as your skins natural moisturiser. The process of creating these micro channels in the skin causes what is referred to as a controlled wound. Your body’s response to this controlled wound is to stimulate the collagen within the skin.
