SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING
What is SkinPen?
Microneedling is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves repeatedly
puncturing the skin with tiny sterile needles to induce tissue remodelling
via collagen and elastin production.
The pin pricks act as channels increase absorption of products
Microneedling vs other treatments (laser)
Although good inflammation is widespread and prolonged, increased
healing periods & sensitivity to sunlight. Costs per session for laser etc can
be from £300 to £750 per session.
SkinPen has low risks, no limits on how often you want it done, can be
used on any area of the body and low risk of hyperpigmentation due to
bodies own natural UV protection is increased and can be used on all skin
types.
How many sessions do I need?
Minimum of 3 sessions to get best results 1 hour each session.
Is it painful and what can I expect?
No, we use pharmaceutical topical LA applied 45 minutes prior to
treatment being carried out. This makes treatment bearable.
Side effects last for 24 hours including flushing and redness (like a
sunburn) some small patches maybe visible after 24 hours but will
disappear within 48 hours. Natural exfoliation of the skin occurs for 72
hours after. Make up can be applied 24 hours after last treatment
Usually it’s good to have treatment done first thing in the morning so by
the next day you can go about your normal day.
Why SkinPen?
SkinPen was launched in America in 2013 and is the only FDA approved
pen which has been proven to have no backflow of blood. It works as it is
based on science. Microneedling has been around since 2000.
Cost?
Sessions cost £150 and require a minimum of 3 to be booked to get best
results. Included in these sessions are aftercare creams and 0.5ml of lip
filler by Juverderm. (Filler at a separate appointment)
