Microneedling/RF is the latest innovative solution for the ultimate ‘nonsurgical skin rejuvenation’. It stimulates the body’s natural healing process to encourage collagen production in the dermis – resulting in rejuvenated and tightened skin. It is a minimally invasive treatment that greatly reduces fine lines, wrinkles and lifts skin.
this treatment is so versatile that it can be used to target a number of concerns on both the face and body including:

Key Benefits:
The increase in collagen and elastin will help to tighten skin, and thicken skin too, reducing and preventing the thinning of skin due to the ageing process. Fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed and relaxed, enlarged pores reduced in size and skin luminosity restored.
There will normally be redness in the area. This is normal and is a result of the inflammation that causes collagen induction. With a 0.5mm roller this will usually clear within a few hours but can persist for up to 2 days in some cases.
You may experience some itchiness in the area due to the release of histamines. An Anti-Histamine may assist in the reduction of this.
Some dry skin may be experienced and a hydrating skin care cream is useful to assist this. This dry skin is caused because the moisture barrier of the skin has been breached by the needles and is a normal reaction.
The skin may feel tender to touch.
You may experience an immediate feeling of tightening in the skin. This is because skin-needling immediately shortens the elastin fibres so tightening the skin
You may also be more sensitive to sunlight straight after treatment. This affect can last for several days. Avoidance of direct sunlight is preferable and if this is not possible SPF 30 or above sunscreen should be applied.
In rare cases there may be some bruising, swelling or marks where the needles have entered the skin.
In rare cases small pustules may form on the skin. They should disappear on their own. If they persist please see a GP.
Please book for more information and have a proper consultation with one of our Aesthetic practitioners.
