Microneedling

The skin is the biggest organ in the body and has a fantastic ability to heal itself when damaged. Microneedling is a procedure that harnesses this ability by gently puncturing the surface of the skin with tiny needles. It might sound a little scary, but it's been proven to reduce pigmentation, scarring, wrinkles and more.

What can microneedling correct?

Microneedling is quickly becoming a top facial rejuvenation treatment with many benefits. These include:

• Erasing dark marks and pigmentation
• Reducing scarring, especially acne scarring
• Promoting an even skin tone
• Lessen the appearance of wrinkles
• Boost skin elasticity

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling reduces skin imperfections such as dark marks, wrinkles and scarring from acne by stimulating collagen production and promoting the skin's natural healing ability.

Dr. Dee uses a unique tool with tiny sterilised needles to break the skin's surface, causing physical trauma. From here, the skin starts to repair itself and, in the process, produces more collagen and reduces imperfections.

What happens during microneedling treatment?

Dr. Dee will apply a topical numbing cream to the area about an hour before the procedure for the pain. She then uses a special pen-like tool with tiny sterile needles to prick your skin by moving it back and forth. These are so small that you might not even notice them after the procedure.

Microneedling is often used together with other aesthetic treatments to get optimal results. However, the procedure only takes about 30 minutes, and you will be free to go home afterwards. It's essential to stay hydrated and avoid being in the sun or wearing make-up while your skin heals.
