Microneedling Newcastle

There are two types of Microneedling treatments. The first type calls for the use of an aesthetic cream to numb the area, to allow for a deeper, more aggressive Microneedling treatment. The second type involves using Microneedlin at a shallower depth, eliminating the need to pre-treat the skin with an aesthetic cream. Depending on the patient’s skin and the type of treatment provided, the skin may appear red and irritated for a few days. Specially formulated creams can be used before and after a Microneedling treatment to minimize this effect.

Visibly rejuvenated skin can generally be seen after just 6-8 days following a procedure, with results further improvement over time. A course of Microneedling sessions is usually recommended to achieve optimal results; however, improvement is usually noticeable after just one treatment. We can recommend products and other treatments that work well together to get you the optimum results in the quickest time. 

Injections are not a part of a Microneedling treatment, so allergic reactions and side-effects are unlikely to occur. The procedure is minimally invasive, which means that there is virtually no downtime and the healing process is quick. Aftercare is also very simple and can be fully administered at home. Microneedling is very safe and effective.

Erythema and redness, severity of which will depend upon the aggressiveness of the performed treatment.

Day 2:

Red or pink hue similar to moderate sunburn may persist. There may be some noticeable swelling on the second day.

Day 3:

Skin may still retain a pink hue, or return to normal colour. Swelling subsides.

Not IPL rejuvenation. The client would get scar tissue from a double wound healing response. They could do pigment, but really why would they need to do this when the Microneedling provides the versatility? 4 week intervals if they absolutely had to.

Again this is fine to use but it is best to let their skin heal for a week or 2 or they will be more sensitive. It shouldn’t be a problem but the pain levels they experience during the treatment may be greater. This, of course, depends on the electrolysis practitioner because some tend to cause more damage than others to the skin and therefore require more healing time.

A course of 4-8 on average with 6-8 weeks gap between treatments.

Clients who have had Botox treatments should ideally wait 2 weeks either side of having Microneedling treatment. 

After using Microneedling Pen, your body will start to naturally regenerate and repair the skin, working below the surface in the dermis. New collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and blood supply is enhanced after the treatment, however it can take up to 6 weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen. Most people will see an improvement sooner than this.

The process will continue over the following months, providing you with a natural and long-lasting enhancement. This is your own collagen, so there is no need to wait for a product to break down, meaning the repair is permanent until your body breaks down collagen as it naturally would through the aging process.

Initially, the skin could look red for around 24-48 hours after the treatment, however for some people, this could be less or it could be more depending on how sensitive your skin is. The skin may become dry and tight shortly after the treatment, this is a completely normal reaction and we can provide specialist skin repair cream to help with this. After this, the skin will look brighter and more vibrant, then approximately six weeks later the regeneration and repair process starts to tighten the skin.

The number of treatments required will depend on the condition of the skin or if for acne the type of acne scar and its severity. We recommend a course of 3 to 6 treatments as a minimum to achieve maximum results for more even and smoother looking skin.
