Microneedling In London

Microneedling is an unique treatment that involves small insulated micro-needles to protect the skin’s surface from damage, unlike laser therapies or surgery. Treatments are directed at varying depths under the skin’s surface, leaving healthy skin unharmed and generating minimum pain and discomfort. The vital protein fibres collagen and elastin play key roles in the skin, providing support, firmness, and suppleness. Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and big pores result from the breakdown of those fibres as we age and microneedling aims to combat this by regenerating collagen and elastin helping achieve a more youthful appearance and even skin tone overall.

A numbing lotion is administered to the skin before the microneedling procedure. This reduces the discomfort throughout the treatment. Microneedling is performed using a handheld device with a number of very small needles on one end. The needles microscopically penetrate the skin, providing pathways for the renewal of collagen and elastin in specific regions at a time. Microneedling activates the body’s inherent skin-healing capacity by creating regulated tiny channels at a specified depth. This triggers the production of natural growth factors that promote collagen creation and cellular tissue remodelling, restoring the skin’s young appearance while preventing scarring. Once the procedure is complete the client may experience some redness of the skin and may feel slight heat when touching the skin.
