Question 1

What skin conditions can Microneedling treat?

Accepted Answer

Medical Microneedling also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, works for a variety of skin conditions, including:– Treatment of scars (including burn scars, acne scars and surgical scars)

– Stretch marks (including post pregnancy)
– Wrinkles and fine lines
– Pigmentation marks

Microneedling produces channels in the dermis which stimulate the body’s natural defenses to repair the skin. This leads to the production of concentrated amounts of collagen and proteins to the treated areas of the skin. This results in the skins thickness being increased by up to 80%, smoothing scars, visibly reducing stretch marks and erasing wrinkles.

Question 2

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Results vary depending on individual factors and the specific skin concern being addressed. However, many people start noticing improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks of the initial treatment. For optimal results, a series of treatments is usually recommended.

Question 3

Does It Hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most individuals experience minimal discomfort during microneedling. Topical anaesthetic cream is typically applied before the procedure to minimise any potential discomfort. The sensation is often described as a mild pricking or tingling feeling.

Question 4

Microneedling Downtime?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling has minimal recovery time compared to lasers or surgery. You may experience slight skin irritation and redness for 24-72 hours after the procedure. You can resume daily activities and apply makeup as the redness subsides. Avoid hot showers and saunas/steam rooms for 2 days and protect your skin with sunscreen for at least a week. Results can be visible within a couple of weeks as your skin rejuvenates.

Question 5

What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Address?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling can effectively address various skin concerns, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone, minimising acne scars, diminishing hyperpigmentation, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation. It is a versatile treatment suitable for many skin types and conditions.

Question 6

Can Microneedling Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments to enhance results. Common combinations include incorporating serums or growth factors during the procedure or combining microneedling with treatments like chemical peels or laser therapies. Your skincare professional can guide you on the best combination of treatments to address your specific concerns and achieve desired outcomes.

Remember, it's always best to consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your unique needs.
