Micro Needling
Micro-needling
Everyone wants younger looking skin, but not everybody is keen on the idea of undergoing invasive plastic surgery to retrieve their youthful look. Until recently surgery was the only option, until Dermal Fillers and Micro-Needling became available as a safer, non-surgical solution.
What is the difference between micro-needling and a dermal filler? Micro-needling does not inject anything into your body. Instead, it encourages the body to create collagen and elastin (which it does naturally to heal itself) by creating tiny cuts on your skin. This collagen and elastin then makes the skin smoother and creates a more youthful appearance. A dermal filler, on the other hand, injects a filler into the skin which is then moulded into shape. The filler is a substance that is naturally created in the body, so it is not harmful.

Micro-needling
The Process
Before the treatment begins, a specialist will have a consultation with you.We will ask some questions about your medical history and understand what you want to achieve from visiting our clinic. We will then analyse your face and bone structure and design a personalised treatment plan for you. During this consultation we will explain the whole process and answer any questions you have.
We use a local anaesthetic to ensure the treatment is as painless and comfortable as possible. A micro-needling device which includes small, sterilised needles in a pen shaped casing, will be used to treat the required areas. As the device moves it makes small cuts into the skin which can cause some bleeding. These cuts prompt the body to start the healing process so that in the areas where the cuts are made, the body is producing elastin and collagen.
After the Treatment
Due to the way the treatment works, the results are not instantaneous, you need to give the body time to produce the collagen and elastin it needs. In some cases, people do require more than one treatment before they really begin to see the benefits of this treatment. You can have this treatment every 4-6 weeks and the results last between 3 and 5 months.
The recovery time for micro-needling is a little longer than it is for fillers, but it still shouldn’t stop you from doing anything. The tiny wounds that are created on your face take time to heal, this could be days or weeks depending on your body. You will also see some redness, bruising and swelling, as well as some bleeding and some mild pain, but all of these symptoms should feel better in a couple of days.
Although this procedure is creating open wounds on your skin, the risk of infection is incredibly low, especially if the clinic you use has fully sterilised equipment.
