Also referred to as collagen induction therapy, medical microneedling is an evidence-based and time-tested skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing treatment. It is minimally invasive and natural and works by triggering your skin to produce collagen and elastin, which helps renew and repair your skin from deep within.
This is a versatile anti-ageing skin treatment with numerous benefits with one or more of the following long-lasting effects on your skin :
- Improved skin tightening and plumpness.
- Reduction in fine lines and superficial wrinkles.
- Reduction in acne scarring.
- Improvement in skin texture.
- Reduction of open-pore size and oiliness.
- Reduction in pigmentation and sun damage.
Unlike cosmetic needling, medical microneedling allows us to use deeper needling depths to achieve far more superior results. For this reason, it can only be provided by registered and appropriately trained healthcare professional.
At SE clinic we use the Derma FNS pen, which is a mechanical microneedling device with an established safety profile. We can adjust the depth of penetration using this pen and access hard to reach areas around the eyes and lips to give the best possible results. As a result unlike dermal rollers, this procedure also has minimal downtime and is less painful but also quicker.
The mechanical pen creates several tiny punctures into your skin which stimulates the skin repair and regeneration system. This leads to a healing response by the skin promoting the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. With successive treatments, the amount of collagen and elastin continues to increase. Also unlike other skincare treatments such as chemical peels and dermaplane, this treatment provides deeper stimulation. Research suggests that the skin continues to improve even after months of receiving a single treatment!
At SE clinic, we can also optimise treatment with the addition of topical skin boosters such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals for specific concerns to further enhance the results. All our treatments come with a week worth of after-care product suited to your skincare concern to help you optimise results and aid quick and safe recovery. We also use a numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable for you.
