Microneedling Cardiff and Microneedling Bristol

Unhappy with the texture or appearance of your skin? Our SkinPen® treatment removes fine and deeper wrinkles on the face and décolleté, renews sun damaged skin, treats signs of ageing, acne scars and stretch marks.

SkinPen® precision is the only globally FDA approved, state-of-the-art microneedling device which is clinically proven with visible results seen after one treatment. It causes controlled micro-injuries in the dermis that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. It initiates the release of natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue. The result is effective remodelling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. initiates the release of natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue

There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

Phase III: Remodelling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

For optimal results, we recommend 3-6 treatments with 4-6 week intervals. For severe scarring, up to 6 treatments may be required. Immediately following the treatment you may look like you have minor sun burn, and your skin may be warm and tighter than usual, this will begin to go down after 24 hours and will have completely gone down after 48 hours.

Medical Microneedling is the perfect complementary pre-treatment to all of the other procedures on offer at our clinic, priming the skin to generate the very best results.

The TREATMENT PROCESS

Step
1

PRIOR TO THE TREATMENT

The first appointment may be a quick over-the-phone discussion and will involve a discussion with our clinician who will discuss your skin concerns. why you may be considering Medical Microneedling and whether this is the right treatment option for you. If you feel ready, we will then book you in for your free consultation with one of our clinicians.

At your free consultation, one of our highly trained clinicians will discuss in detail about the results you want to achieve. Our clinicians will then guide you through your treatment options and create a personal treatment plan for you to ensure you achieve the best results. Microneedling can also be used to enhance the results of other skin rejuvenation treatments such as chemical peels, masks, dermal fillers and hyperhidrosis. You can discuss every aspect of your treatment with no obligation to go ahead. Our clinicians are extremely knowledgeable and highly trained and will happily answer any questions you have. If you feel ready to go ahead, we can book your treatment in for a date and time that suits you.

THE TREATMENT

On the day of your treatment, you will be given some more information about your treatment and will also have an opportunity to ask any last-minute questions you may have. Consent forms will also be signed during this appointment, and your skin will be assessed to establish if you are a candidate for treatment. The initial stage involves cleansing of your skin, to ensure we are starting with a clean palate. The SkinPen is carefully glided across the area of concern using the Skinfuse LIFT HG (Allergy free from cytotoxic) to create hundreds of microscopic puncture wounds which stimulates the natural repair process and activates collagen and elastin production. The entire needling process is customized to the person and skin region being treated. Erythema should be visible with possible signs of blood spotting, this gives us indication that the depth is at its correct point in order to penetrate deep enough into the skin.

Step

POST-TREATMENT

You’ll be able to leave the clinic as soon as your treatment has been completed, and you should be fine to go about your normal day-to-day activities. We believe that the highest quality aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself, so we’re here to support you. Aftercare will be explained to you before you leave our clinic and you will have the opportunity to ask us any further queries or questions. You should avoid touching the area or applying any products onto the skin for 12 hours in order to prevent infection. Post treatment Skinfuse LIFT HG can be applied to help soothe the area. After 12 hours Skinfuse RESCUE Calming complex can be used to help support remodelling of the skin. The treatment area can be red and warm for 24 to 48 hours post treatment, but most patients see a reduction in erythema after 24 hours of treatment. A course of a minimum of three treatments is usually recommended to achieve the best results. We normally allow one to two weeks between treatments. After your course of micro needling treatments, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles should be smoothed, the complexion improved and the skin tone may appear brighter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You’ll have the opportunity to ask your medical practitioner any questions as part of your consultation, but to start the ball rolling here are the answers to some that our patients most frequently asked questions.

What topical solutions are used?

To make the treatment as easy and stress free as possible, at Dermalogic Aesthetics, patient comfort and safety is vital. We use prescription strength numbing cream LMX4 Lidocaine 4% w/w Cream before the treatment to ensure maximum comfort for the client.

Where can microneedling be used?

The micro needling treatment can be used across all areas of the face including the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and under eye area.

Can I go back to normal activity following treatment?

After treatment no make-up should be worn for the first 48 hours. For the first 14 days, you should avoid using any hair removal products, waxing, using sunbeds, swimming or self-tan products.

How long will my microneedling results last?

Micro needling produces results through the stimulation of growth factors and collagen, thereby promoting new skin cells to surface. As our skin ages, our collagen production naturally slows down. Your overall result will last longer when using an at home skin care regimen that includes a daily Retinoid product. New collagen and elastin formation in the skin are documented as visually and measurably improved as much as one year after just one treatment. However, a series of treatments is typically recommended for best results.

What will I look like after my microneedling treatment?

Micro needling is considered a no downtime treatment. Immediately after your treatment your skin will look slightly pink to moderately red. We will provide you with a post prescription kit after your treatment to ensure the optimal results and will greatly minimize these symptoms and enhance your overall results.

How soon after my treatment can I exercise?

The next day.

When can I put on makeup?

The next day after your treatment.
