Microneedling at sk:n

what is microneedling?

Microneedling is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage and ageing.

Here at sk:n we perform several types of Microneedling treatment depending on your desired result:

 

• Dermaroller
• Microneedling Pen
• Microneedling Pen Revitalise

 

What is Dermaroller?

Dermaroller is a titanium device that is rolled over the skin to create thousands of tiny contact points. This causes the body to create a wound healing process for rejuvenated, smoother and younger looking skin.
 

What is Microneedling pen?

Microneedling Pen uses a unique electronic mechanism which allows your practitioner to control treatment intensity to tailor the treatment to your needs.  A solution is also applied to the skin, containing hyaluronic acid, minerals, vitamins and peptides. These act by stimulating cell proliferation and so improving skin contours and elasticity. 
 

What is microneedling pen Revitalise?

Microneedling Pen Revitalise uses an electronic mechanism with a small needle depth to target the top layers of the skin for a rejuvenating effect. The reduced intensity causes less downtime than a deeper treatment, whilst still achieving a youthful complexion.

FAQ’s

How does it feel?

A topical numbing cream is applied to the area before carrying out Dermaroller and Microneedling Pen treatments to ensure any pain is minimised. Variable treatment intensities allow us to further control the comfort of the treatment. No topical anaesthetic is needed for Microneedling Pen Revitalise as the treatment depth is short enough not to cause any discomfort.
 

When will I see results?

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 – although some improvements can be seen much sooner. The process will continue over the following months and several treatments are usually required.

What is the aftercare?

After your treatment, your skin will appear red and flushed; a normal sign that the treatment is working and will subside within a few days.  SPF 30 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
