Microneedling
Restoring youthful vitality does not always require surgical intervention. Microneedling treatments are a form of collagen induction therapy (CIT). These use ultra-fine needles at adjustable depths to create a series of micro abrasions (micro-injuries) in surface skin. As the body recognises these minor injuries, it stimulates a natural healing response, creating tighter, more flexible, and younger looking skin tissues and boosting the collagen in the skin.
Other facial surgeries and nonsurgical laser treatments can cause side effects that last days or weeks, whereas Microneedling creates a youthful appearance with no downtime whatsoever.
Benefits:
- Better Skin Elasticity:
Because Microneedling produces collagen and elastin, the treated area becomes stronger and more flexible. This helps prevent laxity and other skin damage that may occur. CIT is known to prevent many traditional signs of ageing.
- Tighter skin:
Microneedling causes the skin to produce new collagen, a structural protein that helps hold the skin together. This means that the new skin tissues will be far less likely to wrinkle or sag.
- Fewer Wrinkles:
Many factors can cause wrinkles, but the most significant one is the loss of collagen and elastin. These protein products are higher in concentrations after Microneedling procedures, smoothing
All this can be achieved through the treatment, however, what makes Microinfusion so unique is that it also “stamps” a custom beauty elixir into your skin to treat any concerns you may have.
This elixir is custom-made for you and contains ingredients varying from Toxin, Filler, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Hyaluronic acid and more. This elixir infuses into the surface of the skin to instantly brighten and clarify, whilst giving no downtime. This is a treatment for people of all ages, especially if you are looking for a boost before a big event or occasion where you want to look your absolute best.

Am I good candidate?
If you are looking for a quick and effective way to look younger without a large treatment cost, Microneedling may be the treatment for you. Ideal candidates will be in good health and have no fear of needles (though the needles on the device are too fine to see). Patients should not have any injections that can spread via blood, skin contact or other bodily fluids.
Consultation:
During your consultation, we will evaluate your goals and your facial anatomy to determine the best treatment plan for you. If microneedling is the best treatment for your needs, we will determine whether the whole face would benefit from treatment or only specific areas.
Receiving Microneedling:
Your clinician will use a moisturising cream in the targeted area. This ensures the area is clean and prevents the skin from drying out during and after the procedure.
The Microneedling device (oscillating pen or handle) drives the needles into the tissues at adjustable depths depending on the area being treated. These ultra fine needles puncture the skin without leaving any unwanted marks or scarring.
This device is guided over the targeted area several times to ensure complete coverage. Patients may feel a slight prickling or burning sensation, but this is temporary and usually minor.
After treatment:
Immediately after: Patients may immediately return to daily activities. You should expect slight redness or minor swelling for a few hours after treatment. For best results, patients should keep their treated skin out of direct sunlight for up to 2 days, and be sure to use SPF.
3-7 days: Any slight tingling, swelling, redness or tenderness should fade by this point. You should expect the beginning of a youthful glow.
1+ Months: Results May begins to appear within 2 weeks, but final results may take 4-6 weeks to fully develop as collagen development can take time to occur fully.

FAQ
Yes, Microneedling can be combined with several options to achieve the desired results, such as:
- Anti Wrinkle Injections
- Dermal Fillers
- PRP Treatment
- Profhilo
The cost will vary depending on the device used, the size of the targeted area and the number of sessions requested.
Microneedling is extremely safe. Whilst all procedures come with some chance of complications, Microneedling rarely has any adverse side effects, but in rare cases, complications may occur such as acne breakouts, bleeding, bruising, skin discolouration, infection.
The results of microneedling can have significant effects over quite a long time. Most patients who desire long term effects choose to get periodic treatments to maintain their results. We would recommend a treatment every 6 weeks for the first three treatments, and then once every four months thereafter to maintain the best results. With periodic sessions every 4-6 months, microneedling results can last for many years.
For patients who only want a single treatment, results may last 4-6 weeks. Patients should help maintain their results with a diligent at home skincare routine. Should you need advice with this we can help with a skin health consultation.
Yes, unlike many other non surgical skin solutions, microneedling works well on all skin types and tones. This is a major advantage of microneedling compared to treatments such as lasers.
Preparation for microneedling is easy. Patients should avoid shaving or applying any form of topical creams to the area the day before treatment. Patients should also refrain from laser therapy and tanning beds for at least a week before their treatment.
