Dermaroller in Esher, Jill Zander

The results of dermaroller therapy are not permanent, and you will require treatment on a regular basis in order to maximise and maintain these.

While the process involved in dermaroller therapy might sound painful, it’s actually a fairly pleasant experience. A topical anesthetic is applied to the area being treated, meaning that the tiny micro needles that pierce through the outermost layer of skin are barely felt.

The tiny punctures made by the dermaroller device stimulate a healing response within the skin, kick-starting cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin. This helps to rejuvenate the appearance of the skin, plumping out fine lines and wrinkles and improving the appearance of marks, scars and stretchmarks.

You will see a plumping effect almost immediately, however the natural healing process takes time, so it can take up to six weeks before you see significant results.

Following dermaroller microneedling treatment, the collagen and elastin triggering process will continue over the following months and several treatments are usually required to achieve the best results.

A course of dermaroller treatments is usually recommended in order to see the most noticeable results, particularly for cases of acne scarring or stretch marks. However, many people see some visible results after just one treatment, and your practitioner will be able to assess your skin and determine how many treatments you are likely to need.

Going to a regulated and qualified nurse or doctor is the best way to treat your skin condition safely and effectively. Our dermaroller treatment is carried out in highly clinical, sterilised operating rooms by nurses and doctors with many years’ experience. They will follow strict medical protocols, which means you can be rest assured that the procedures are very safe.

Dermaroller therapy costs from £370 for a single treatment and exact costs are confirmed after a consultation. A course of treatment is usually recommended for the best results.

After your treatment, your skin will appear red and flushed, which is a good sign that the treatment is working and this will subside within a few days. SPF30 should be worn daily following on from the treatment for at least two weeks. An ongoing effective daily skincare regime is crucial to help promote and achieve optimum results.

At sk:n clients can purchase a product pack after treatment, which your practitioner will go through and give you more information about aftercare procedures.
