MICRONEEDLING

MEDICAL WOUND INDUCTION THERAPY

The Exceed™ medical microneedling device is the latest technology that’s quickly replacing dermal rollers and other anti-aging methods on the market. The Exceed™ device offers enhanced treatment versatility as the first dual-indicated, FDA-cleared medical microneedling system for the treatment of both facial wrinkles, scarring and stretchmarks and facial acne scar reduction.  Each treatment session delivers powerful results with minimal downtime.  Long lasting results can be seen in as little as 12 weeks, through 4 treatments, less than 1 hour per treatment to achieve smooth, firm, young-looking skin.

Originally researched as a way of treating acne scarred skin, scientists noticed that a happy consequence of this wound induction therapy actually rejuvenated the skin, strengthening weakened and aged skin, vastly improving volume and clarity.  It can also breakdown established scar tissue to restore healthy looking skin.

Now used globally in skin clinics as an aesthetic anti-ageing treatment, microneedling uses tiny needles to create channels in the skin. Pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury (or wounds) and the skin responds by rapidly producing huge amounts of new skin tissue, rich with collagen and elastin (the building bricks of your skin) to heal these tiny wounds - just as it would if you cut yourself. These channels also allow your clinician to apply certain additive serums, allowing for deeper penetration of specifically chosen ingredients into the dermis - where they can be even more affective. This new skin tissue is, in turn, plumper, firmer and more even in tone and texture, and is visibly different after just one treatment.

Freezpen Cryosurgery

Powerful ⍿ Precise ⍿ Painless


Freezpen can remove the most common skin pathologies in just a few seconds: verrucae, skin tags, solar lentigo pigmented spots, actinic keratoses, seborrheic keratoses, hemangioma, molluscum contagiosum condyloma, plantar warts, and more.

TREATMENT

Numbing cream is applied to the face to reduce discomfort. Once the skin is desensitised, skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared to receive the penetrating needles. Skin is punctured to deliberately cause tiny channels which will then allow deeper penetration of chosen treatment serums. Skin is then calmed via the application of LED light and then protected. *Note: no make-up or creams should be applied for at least 24 hours after treatment and it is very important to follow homecare advice given by your therapist.

Medical microneedling can be used to treat conditions such as:
Acne scarring
Rosacea
Volume loss
Hyperpigmentation
Stretch marks
Burn and injury scars

Although benefits can be seen after just one session, it is always advised to take a course of sessions to optimise the healing benefits and to achieve long lasting results. These sessions are usually recommended in blocks of three, four or six, depending on your skin needs and what problems we are aiming to treat. These treatments also compliment other aesthetic, and facial treatments such as chemical peels and can be combined into a bespoke treatment package to truly help reverse skin damage and the signs of ageing.

Example treatment cost:

One treatment - £150
Course of three treatments taken 3 weeks apart - £400
Course of six treatments taken 3 weeks apart - £750

To enhance results further you have the option of adding specific proprietary serums to your treatment to specifically target certain concerns such as pigmentation and volume loss.  Please ask your clinician about this at your consultation.

FAQ's

I have sensitive skin, is this treatment advisable ?
Microneedling can actually help strengthen sensitive skin. However, a professional consultation would discuss the best options for your particular concerns as there are also other treatments suitable for sensitive skin.
How long is the recovery time ?
Generally you will be flushed after the treatment for the rest of the day. Most clients find that by the next day their skin is already starting to heal and calm and therefore would allow them to resume normal life.  Sensitive skins may feel like they have sun burn for a day or two after treatment.
Who is suitable for micro needling ?
Excellent results can be shown when treating many different skin concerns so there are not specific conditions which are better suited to this treatment - your consultation will discuss the best treatment for your specific skin needs.
How many treatments will I need ?
Microneedling treatments can show great results in just one treatment but if you are addressing a stubborn condition, such as loss of volume or scar tissue, we advise a course of three to six treatments to achieve real, lasting results.
What results can I expect to see ?
Every skin is different and so results will vary from person to person, however you absolutely will notice a pronounced difference in skin texture, firmness and evenness. We often use this treatment as an alternative to injectables to help support the skin through the years.
How long will the results last ?
On average, a course of three to six treatments is usually performed with maintenance treatments offered every three months as a great support for your skin.
