Microneedling Treatment in Ware Hertfordshire

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is one of the safest and most effective procedures for regenerating, rejuvenating the skin, and boosting collagen and elastin.

It works by stimulating the skin’s natural regeneration and renewal process. It involves creating thousands of tiny micro-injuries on the treated skin. The depth of these tiny punctures is tailored to each person’s needs and the area treated.

During the treatment, a special disposable head ( a cartridge) with 12, 16 32 or more sterile needles is used. The device is gently touching the skin, and moved around over the treatment area. This process is very effective, with minimal recovery time. Additionally we can use various active ingredients making this treatment even more effective, as the microneedling treatment allows the ingredients penetrate deep in the skin.

 

Your body has the ability to self-heal. Microneedling starts the skin’s natural regenerative processes and boosts collagen production.

• Collagen and Elastin Production
• Fibroblast Activation
• Enhanced Skin Density and Elasticity

 

After microneedling treatment

Immediately after your session, your skin might look slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness is a natural part of the skin’s healing process and typically subsides within a few hours.

In the first 24 hours your skin might feel sensitive, some people may experience slight swelling but this shouldn’t last too long.

2 or 3 days after you might notice some flaking or peeling as your skin starts a renewal process. Your skin is shedding old, dead cells.

You can return to your regular activities straight away. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after the procedure. Avoid tanning for a month after your last session.

The results of microneedling continue to develop over several weeks as collagen production increases.

Is Microneedling recommended for All Skin Types?

Microneedling is good for all skin types, oily, dry, sensitive, or anywhere in between, microneedling offers a world of benefits for everyone.

Oily Skin

Microneedling can reduce the look of enlarged pores and regulate excess oil production, for a more balanced complexion.

Dry Skin

It helps absorption of hydrating products, delivering much-needed moisture to deeper layers of skin.

Sensitive Skin

It can be adjusted to suit sensitive skin.

Combination Skin

Microneedling can address various concerns often found in combination skin, such as uneven texture, blemishes, and fine lines.

The Benefits for All Skin Types

• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improvement in skin texture and tone.
• Reduction of scars, including acne scars.
• Minimisation of pore size.
• Enhanced absorption of skincare products.

Microneedling works by stimulating your skin’s own healing abilities.The procedure triggers the production of collagen and elastin, responsible for youthful, glowing skin. They are the key to plumping, smoothing, and revitalising your complexion.

After your first microneedling session, you’ll likely notice some improvement such as a refreshed glow and smoother skin. However, the most significant benefits are progressive and become more apparent over time when your skin starts producing collagen.

Proper aftercare and skincare maintenance are important to preserve your results. We will provide guidelines on post-treatment care for you to follow.

The number of sessions is also important. A series of treatments is recommended to achieve and maintain optimal outcomes.

Your unique skin characteristics, lifestyle, and age can influence how long your microneedling results last. Younger people may experience longer-lasting effects due to their skin’s natural rejuvenating abilities.

To keep your skin looking its best, follow-up sessions are advised. These maintenance treatments help prolong and enhance the results you’ve achieved, and keep the collagen production steady.

Is one session of microneedling enough to see results?

Are you wondering if one session of microneedling can make a noticeable difference?  Microneedling stimulate collagen production and smoothing out imperfections.

Following first microneedling session, many clients report a refreshed and glowing complexion. This immediate result is due to increased blood circulation and the skin’s natural healing response to the micro-injuries created during the procedure.

You may notice that your skin feels smoother and more refined after just one microneedling session. This is particularly beneficial if you have concerns about uneven texture, dehydration or fine lines.

While a single session can give you some glow and improved skin texture, it’s important to understand that the full benefits of microneedling happen over time progressively.

For wrinkles, scars, or deeper imperfections, a series of microneedling sessions is advised.

These treatments build upon the results of your initial session, creating a cumulative effect that leaves your skin looking its best.

Often, our clients seeing the results they achieve after one session book for more treatments being so happy with the transformation.
