Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

What Happens During a Microneedling Treatment?

The microneedling process at Aesthetix Medical Clinic is meticulously designed for efficacy and comfort, involving the following steps:

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive skin assessment to discuss your skin concerns and aesthetic goals. This step ensures the treatment is perfectly tailored to meet your needs.
2. Preparation: Before the treatment, the target area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort and ensure a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
3. Microneedling: Using a state-of-the-art microneedling device, our skilled practitioner gently creates micro-punctures on the skin's surface. This precision-controlled action initiates the body's natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
4. Post-Treatment Care: A soothing serum or mask may be applied immediately after the procedure to calm the skin and enhance the healing process. Depending on the treated area, the session typically lasts about 30 minutes to an hour.

What Does the Microneedling Aftercare Involve?

Immediately following the treatment, it's normal to experience redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn; these symptoms typically subside within a few days.

We recommend using a gentle cleanser, applying hydrating and healing serums, and avoiding direct sun exposure using broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoiding makeup, strenuous exercise, and exfoliation for the first 24-48 hours is also crucial to allow the skin to heal correctly. Our team will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your specific skin needs.
