Microneedling using dermaroller is one of the most popular non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments. A quick, simple and effective treatment for skin tightening, acne scarring and anti-ageing, microneedling can be done either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other techniques such as PRP or Mesotherapy.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation which involves the use of a needling device to create controlled skin injury.
What are the Benefits of micro needling?
The control injury triggers the body to feel micro-wounds to produce new collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin (dermis). In addition, new capillaries are formed which then leads to reduction of scarring and skin rejuvenation & improves skin texture and firmness.
Is downtime required after the treatment?
You will have a slight redness and inflammation but this will calm down after 24 hours.
Can I Do Microneedling In Combination With Other Aesthetic Treatments?
Yes – we often perform microneedling treatments in London in combination with other techniques such as PRP, mesotherapy and injectables. Your practitioner will advise you during your consultation about which treatments are most suitable for your skin.
