Skin Pen Microneedling

What is Skin Pen Microneedling?

Skin Pen Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of your skin. It involves the use of a specialised device equipped with fine needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the body's natural healing processes. This treatment is effective for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and improving overall skin texture and tone.

What are other names for Skin Pen Microneedling?

Skin Pen Microneedling is often referred to by several other names, including collagen induction therapy and microneedling. While these terms highlight the procedure's focus on stimulating collagen production, "microneedling" is the most commonly used term in the industry. Each name reflects the technique's primary aim of enhancing skin health through controlled, micro-injury.

How Does Skin Pen Microneedling Work?

Skin Pen Microneedling works by using a device fitted with tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin. These controlled punctures trigger the skin's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This process helps to improve skin texture, reduce scars and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful, radiant complexion.

  • PREPARATION & AFTERCARE

    Skin Pen Microneedling Preparation Advice

    Before undergoing Skin Pen Microneedling, it’s crucial to prepare your skin by avoiding sun exposure and refraining from using retinoids or other harsh skincare products for at least a week. This helps to minimise any potential irritation and ensures optimal results. Additionally, staying well-hydrated and maintaining a healthy skincare routine will enhance the procedure’s effectiveness. It’s also advisable to consult with your practitioner about any specific instructions or products to use in the days leading up to your treatment.

    Skin Pen Microneedling Aftercare Advice

    After Skin Pen Microneedling, it’s important to follow a few key aftercare steps to ensure proper healing and maximise results. Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours, as this can irritate the treated skin. Keep the area clean and moisturised with gentle, non-comedogenic products, and refrain from using exfoliants or aggressive skincare treatments until your skin has fully healed. Following these guidelines will help to maintain the benefits of the procedure and promote a smooth recovery.

What are Injectables For Skin?

Injectables for skin are treatments designed to enhance and rejuvenate your appearance. At our clinic, we use products like Botox and dermal fillers to address wrinkles, restore volume, and smooth out fine lines. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while dermal fillers add volume and contour to areas that may have lost elasticity over time. These treatments are quick, effective, and tailored to your individual needs, helping you achieve a natural, refreshed look with minimal downtime.

What is the procedure for Injectables For Skin Treatments?

The procedure for injectables at our clinic is straightforward and efficient. First, we start with a consultation to discuss your goals and assess your skin. On the day of your treatment, we apply a local anaesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable. Then, we carefully inject the chosen product—such as Botox or dermal fillers—into targeted areas. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Afterward, you might experience slight redness or swelling, but this usually subsides quickly. You can resume your normal activities right away and start seeing results within a few days.

Injectables For Skin: Benefits and Expected Results

Injectables for skin offer several benefits, including reduced wrinkles, improved skin texture, and restored volume. Botox helps smooth out dynamic lines by relaxing muscles, while dermal fillers plump up areas that may have lost volume. The results are typically noticeable within a few days, with effects lasting several months. You'll enjoy a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for enhancing your look.
