Microneedling

Face. Resurfacing the skin, stimulating collagen and reducing the appearance of scaring.

By precisely controlling the depth, spacing, frequency the dermapen stimulates your body to make more collagen in the area where it needs it the most.

The NanoFractional RF™ applicator is intended to resurface the skin, which can improve the appearance of scars, dyschromia, enlarged pores, striae, uneven skin texture, and other signs of skin damage.

Microneedling Aftercare

To ensure the best possible results, please follow this AfterCare Advice.

  • After treatment, it’s quite normal for redness, skin sensitivity and possibly mild swelling for 24-48 hours following treatment. The skin may resemble moderate sunburn during this time. Effects usually resolve within a few hours, so you are likely able to return to your normal activities the same or next day.
  • To avoid infection, ensure that your hands are clean before touching the treated area or applying skincare products, for the first 2 days after the treatment.
  • For 3 days after treatment, avoid perfume, perfumed cosmetics or skincare products containing Glycolic Acid or AHA on the area.
  • Your skin may look dry, and possibly flaky, for a few days after the redness subsides. You may use Aloe Vera gel to soothe the skin if you wish, plus an intensive moisturizer for 7 days to help with any dryness.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures such as saunas, steam baths, etc. for a period of at least 7 days after the treatment.
  • Avoid makeup for 24 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid sunbeds and wear SPF 30-50 when outdoors to protect your skin from direct sun exposure. If you fail to protect your skin from sun exposure, you will be at risk of uneven pigmentation and sunburn.
  • ALL facial skin procedures in the area, including injection based treatments, should be avoided for 2-4 weeks after treatment.
  • Stay well hydrated by drinking 2 liters of water a day and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
  • A course of treatments is needed to provide long-term anti-ageing results 2-4 weeks apart.
  • For optimal results you should use the recommended skin care products between treatments.
