Microneedling, also referred to as Skin Needling, Collagen Stimulation Therapy, or Dermal Rollering, is a progressive cosmetic treatment that has evolved from manual techniques to advanced Device-based procedures known as Dermal Pens. Despite technological advancements, the fundamental principle remains unchanged: microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
This innovative treatment is highly effective for addressing a range of skin concerns, including lines and wrinkles, slackened skin, stretch marks, scarring, uneven skin tone, and dilated blood vessels.
Suitable for all skin types and skin tones, microneedling can be performed on various areas of the face and body. Unlike injectable treatments, microneedling is a completely natural process as the micro-injuries it creates trigger the body’s repair and renewal functions.
We have 2 Types of Microneedling:
Dermapen Microneedling & Smart Pro Dual Tech Microneedling
Each has their own benefits. Please see below.
What Skin Concerns Does Microneedling Improve?
Microneedling is capable of targeting multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Whether you are affected by a combination of fine lines and pigmentation due to sun exposure or ageing, or have active acne alongside pigmentation and scarring from previous breakouts, microneedling offers comprehensive improvement.
Conditions that can benefit from Microneedling:
Acne scarring | Active Acne | Surgical scarring | Keloid scarring | Fine lines & Wrinkles | Stretch Marks | Enlarged pores |
Hair loss | Rosacea | Sun Damage | Pigmentation
What Can You Expect After a Microneedling Procedure?
After microneedling, you may notice mild redness and inflammation, similar to a light sunburn, which can last from 12 to 48 hours. There may also be some pinpoint bleeding. Using the recommended aftercare products and adhering to aftercare instructions will help soothe the skin and speed up recovery. Some individuals may experience slightly dry skin or a temporary worsening of acne and pigmentation within 5 to 10 days post-treatment; this proliferation phase is normal and indicates the procedure is working.
Over the following days and weeks, you will observe a smoother, brighter, and more radiant complexion. The full results of the treatment can continue to develop and impress for several months to a year after the procedure.
Is Downtime Needed After Microneedling?
Any inflammation typically subsides within 48 hours, and in many cases, fades within a few hours. To minimise visible redness and support optimal recovery and results, it is important to use the prescribed aftercare products and follow professional recommendations.
What Effect Does Microneedling Have?
Microneedling provides numerous benefits for the skin by boosting collagen and elastin production, resulting in a more youthful appearance:
Reduces pigmentation such as age spots, sun spots, melasma, and acne scarring | Improves skin texture for a smoother complexion | Thickens the skin, making it appear firmer and less crepy | Supports and maintains healthy hair growth |
Helps prevent active acne breakouts
Is Microneedling Painful?
Thanks to the advanced technology and speed of the Dermapen™ Microneedling Pen, treatments are now virtually pain-free. Even larger areas, such as stretch marks on the abdomen or thighs, can be treated quickly and comfortably, making microneedling more accessible than ever.
Are There Any Risks with Microneedling?
During a comprehensive consultation, you will be advised on your suitability for microneedling, as well as the procedures, preparation, and aftercare required. It is essential to follow these recommendations for the best possible outcome. Infection control is taken extremely seriously, and all guidelines set by Dermapen™ are strictly adhered to, ensuring safe microneedling procedures at all times.
How Many Treatments Do I Need and How Often?
Microneedling can be performed on almost any area of the body and is tailored to target a variety of skin concerns. The Dermapen™ Microneedling Pen treatment is customised to your specific skin type and issues. While three sessions at four-week intervals is often ideal, the required number of treatments depends on the extent of the skin damage and individual response to therapy.
Is Microneedling Suitable for All Skin Types and Colours?
Although some traditional microneedling techniques carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, the Dermapen™ Microneedling Pen is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types and tones.
About Dermapen™ Microneedling Pen
The Dermapen™ is a professional-grade microneedling device featuring extremely fine yet whisper-fine needles that oscillate rapidly as they glide across the skin. Held at a 90° angle, the device penetrates the top layer of the skin, creating thousands of micro-injuries that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibres. A specialised Meso-Glide serum is applied to enable the Dermapen to move smoothly over the skin while simultaneously delivering active ingredients into its deeper layers.
The Dermapen™ offers multi-speed technology with adjustable needle depths of up to 3mm, allowing for a tailored treatment experience. Following the procedure, soothing products are applied to hydrate, calm, and protect the skin. Downtime is minimal to none, enabling clients to resume their daily activities quickly. The immediate effects include visibly plumper skin and a reduction in the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and fine lines.
Microneedling with Exosomes For Hair Regeneration
Microneedling with exosomes represents an advanced regenerative treatment that is also available at our salon and clinic. This procedure combines the benefits of microneedling, an established technique involving the creation of micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the healing and growth of skin cells, with the topical application of exosomes.
Exosomes are vesicles, which are components of cells, containing growth and signalling factors. These factors are essential for cell-to-cell communication and support cell regrowth. When exosomes are used in conjunction with microneedling, they play a key role in enhancing the regenerative effects of the treatment.
The combination of microneedling and topical exosome application is an innovative approach designed to stimulate the growth of hair follicles on the scalp. By promoting an environment conducive to healing and regeneration, this treatment encourages hair regrowth and supports the production of thicker, healthier hair.
Smart Pro Dual Microneedling is a minimally invasive medical aesthetic device renowned for its effectiveness in skin rejuvenation. Its precision microneedling technology ensures the procedure is virtually non-invasive, resulting in minimal discomfort and greater skin tolerance. The treatment is both swift and adaptable, with a notably short recovery period. Widely adopted in the medical-aesthetic sector, this advanced device stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration by encouraging collagen and elastin production. The outcome is visible, natural-looking improvements. The technology offers heightened precision, increased safety, and enhanced effectiveness, allowing practitioners to achieve targeted results while maximising efficacy.
