What to expect in a Microneedling procedure?

Before undergoing the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with a Dermapen 4  Authorised treatment provider. They will assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the treatment.  It also important to prepare you skin by using a Retinal cream for at least 2 weeks before your appointment to enhance the treatment on the day.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device fitted with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, key components that contribute to the skin’s firmness and elasticity.  Benefits of Microneedling: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and tone, Minimizes the appearance of scars, including acne scars, reduces pore size, enhances the absorption of topical skincare products

Preparation and Microneedling treatment

On the day of the treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped.  A Dermapen 4 is then used to create tiny punctures in the skin whilst our products are infused.  We then apply and uber peel, a mask and cover recover, a foundation with healing properties to help the healing process and cover up any redness.

Collagen induction:

The tiny punctures created by the microneedle trigger the skin’s natural healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize scars and stretch marks, and promote overall skin rejuvenation.

Topical treatments:

During the microneedling procedure, your authorised treatment provider may apply serums, growth factors, or other topical treatments for the Dermaceuticals range to enhance the effects of the treatment. These products can penetrate the skin more effectively through the microchannels created by the needles, maximizing their benefits.

Aftercare:

After the procedure, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. Your skincare professional will apply Cover recover to camouflage the redness while soothing the skin, then discuss with you specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle cleansers and moisturizers, and applying sunscreen regularly.

Dermapen 4 microneedling treatments are typically performed in a series of sessions of 3 to 4 sessions  spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions needed depends on your skin condition and desired outcomes.

It’s important to note that while microneedling is generally considered safe and effective, it’s crucial to have the procedure performed by a trained professional in a sterile environment to minimize the risk of infection or other complications. Additionally, not everyone is a suitable candidate for microneedling, so it’s essential to consult with a skincare professional to determine if it’s the right treatment for you.
