Hitting a reset on your skin can be as simple as a 60-minute microneedling treatment. Microneedling creates micro-channels (microscopic holes) at a rate of 1600 per second. These wounds stimulate your skin, kicking its healing process into high gear. Best of all, Microneedling doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are natural and safe for all skin tones and types.
After the healing process, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and texture on the skin are reduced. Smooth and glowing skin makes its debut.
What Microneedling is
The Microneedling treatment works in three simple steps, designed to activate the skin’s natural healing process. Following each session, the skin begins to heal itself, looking more renewed and rejuvenated over time. Microneedling delivers dramatic results without the use of heat or chemicals.
Microneedling penetrates the skin’s surface, triggering a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new skin.
The micro-channels (or tiny holes) created by the device are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
New skin form, rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin quality, visibly reducing acne scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, leaving skin more smooth, radiant, glowing and younger-looking.
The aftercare
For the first 12 hours it is recommended not to let the skin come into contact with water or other liquids (unless otherwise advised).
Avoid swimming pools and jacuzzis for 48 hours after treatment.
Avoid heat, saunas, steam cabins and the like for up to 48 hours after treatment.
Do not force or touch the treated area unnecessarily and do not pick, scratch or peel off skin.
Do not use scrubs or (silicone) facial brushes for up to a week after the treatment
Avoid exfoliants, acids, Benzoyl Peroxide, vitamin A/Retinol and drying alcohols for up to two weeks after treatment.
Use a solid skincare routine consistently after treatment to give the skin the opportunity to improve glowingly.
SPF is essential.
