Introducing New Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, sagging skin, scarring and hyperpigmentation, and can help achieve smoother, more radiant and youthful looking skin.
Your procedure is carried out using the Proton pen, containing a single use cartridge with tiny sterile needles.
The pen glides smoothly over the surface of the skin, creating precise micro channels in the skin. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin.
The skin's natural healing response triggers a boost in high levels of collagen and elastin. Following this, your skin cell regeneration rate will speed up, giving you fresh new skin cells to replace the fine lines, wrinkles and scarring that you wish to smooth over.
The end result is plumper, firmer and smoother skin. Additionally skincare products are able to penetrate more deeply into the skin, making them more effective.
You will notice a difference after just one treatment.
The benefits are often seen within the first two weeks, however the treatment stimulates the skin rejuvenation process, which continues to work for several months.
A single treatment will produce great results, however you may need at least 3 to 5 procedures to achieve maximum results.

Full consultation required.
Mini after care kit included, to ensure your skin is cared for correctly, and to maximise the results from your treatment.
There is mild to moderate treatment discomfort, with a post treatment downtime of 24 hours.
To achieve lasting results and to bank the increase of collagen and elastin, it is advisable to have 3 to 6 sessions booked at 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Your skin will continue to age with time, therefore to maintain your healthy and rejuvenated skin, it is important that you have a microneedling treatment every 3 to 6 months.
The treatment consists of pHformula EXFO deep cleanse, microneedling with a bespoke cocktail of active solutions, SOS cooling mask, LED mask and application of post recovery cream and sun protection cream.
Post Treatment
After microneedling your skin loses water, as a result of the needles pricking your skin.
It is not unusual for your skin to appear red, feel dry, and for lines to appear worse for the first few days after treatment. Any wrinkle that develops quickly after treatment is temporary.
You must keep your skin hydrated using your home care kit.
If you are susceptible to cold sores, you may find that you have a breakout following treatment.
When having microneedling treatment patience is key!
