Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure used to rejuvenate the skin. It is commonly used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite and depressed scars including acne scars.
The main indications for having Microneedling procedure done include:
Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin stimulating formation of new collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin thickness, texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
We can also use Microneedling to improve the penetration and absorption of the skincare products (such as potent serums for skin rejuvenation and minoxidil for hair growth) into the deeper layers for a significantly better effect.
Sutton and Epsom Cosmetic Clinic offers the following microneedling methods:
Dr Baba, a highly trained and experienced aesthetic doctor who is also a senior trainer for this procedure at London Aesthetic Academy (www.londonaestheticacademy.co.uk) will perform your procedure.
Typically, micro needling is well tolerated. We apply a topical local anaesthetic approximately 45 minutes prior to performing the procedure to minimise any discomfort.
Skin becomes thicker, tighter and more youthful in its appearance due to the stimulation collagen and elastin production. Micro needling also enables topical treatments to be absorbed more efficiently thereby increasing their effectiveness. Microneedling can also be used to improve the appearance of cellulite. Overall microneedling produces impressive results for the majority of clients. Repeat treatments may be required to achieve optimal results.
The treated area can appear slightly red for a few days post treatment however many clients return to normal activity the same day. We strongly advise regular use of SPF50 after this procedure.
