Microneedling results in the natural response to wounding of the skin, even though the wound is minute and mainly subcutaneous. A single needle prick would cause an invisible response. However, when thousands or tens of thousands of fine pricks are placed together one gets a “field effect”. This therefore promotes the normal post-traumatic release of growth factors and infiltration of fibroblasts. This reaction is automatic and produces a surge of activity that inevitably leads to fibroblasts being instructed to produce more collagen and elastin.

The needles used vary in diameter, but they are micro-fine and barely noticeable. Microneedling shouldn’t cause anything more than a mild discomfort at most.

• Overall skin re-hydration

• Increase skin firmness and elasticity

• Improves skin complexion and radiance

• Prevention of fine line and wrinkles

• Rejuvenates dull and tired skin

• Improves tone and elasticity of the skin

• Treats dry and sensitive skin

• Improves appearance of pores

As a general rule of thumb, microneedling treatment can be safely done about once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks. This is the frequency that works best for the majority of clients of all skin types, but some clients find that microneedling more or less frequently than this range works best for their skin and their aesthetic goals.​

After you have obtained your desired results, all subsequent appointments will be used to maintain these results.

Because the results of this treatment build gradually, you will be able to have more time between your regular maintenance appointments. Many clients opt to have regular treatments every 6 to 8 weeks for this purpose.

The recovery time is minimal. Most people require very little downtime if any at all.

You may notice skin irritation and redness within the first few days following the procedure. This is a natural response to the small “injuries” made by the needles in your skin.
