NUDE SKIN AND LASER CLINIC
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling makes tiny punctures on the surface of the skin, triggering the bodies natural healing response (please note: the pain is minimal!).This rejuvenates your skin by boosting collagen production and improving skin texture. We use this treatment to help combat the pigmentation left behind by sun damage and acne scars.
WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
This micro-needling treatment is performed in a clinical and sterile environment. The treatment itself includes the preparation of the skin, the exfoliation of dormant dead skin cells before preparing the skin with a skin antiseptic. The micro needling treatment itself includes multiple passes over the skin using a glide for instant product penetration. The skin is then calmed with skin repair and cooled. LED therapy is hugely beneficial following Micro needling to encourage and speed the healing response.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
The Dermapen 4 treatment uses multiple needles that pierce the skin vertically. This process enhances rejuvenation results and is far safer for you because there is much less epidermal damage.

HOW SOON AFTER FILLER/MUSCLE RELAXANT INJECTIONS CAN I HAVE A TREATMENT?

With this information, we can let you know when to schedule your treatment appropriately.

HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE BEFORE I SEE RESULTS?
Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 3 to 6 treatments (spaced 2-8 weeks apart).
The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, especially when combined with our recommended post-treatment care.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
You may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment.
Most people can return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Our skin therapists will provide you with post-treatment information and products where necessary.
