Medical Microneedling

Q) What is microneedling?

A) Microneedling (percutaneous collagen induction) is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses small, sterilised needles to prick the skin. The goal of microneedling is to achieve a controlled inflammatory reaction that generates collagen and elastin which improves smoothness, firmness and the tone of the skin.

Q) What is microneedling used to treat?

A) Microneedling can help with the following:

-Scars, including acne scars

-Fine lines and wrinkles

-Enlarged pores

-Hyperpigmentation, or dark spots

-Uneven skin tone

-Stretch marks

Q) Does it hurt?

A) In general, microneedling is well tolerated. We use a strong anaesthetic cream prior to our treatments to minimise discomfort.

Q) Is there much downtime?

A) It is normal to experience redness (which may look like sunburn) and irritation up to 1 week after the procedure.

Q) How long does it take and how many sessions are needed?

A) Each session may last between 30 to 60 minutes. Though it varies from person to person, typically 3 to 6 session are need to achieve the best results
