WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
At Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire, we perform microneedling with the precision of SkinPen, a medical device that provides a safe and effective way of creating an even texture and tone. It can successfully address a variety of conditions on the face and neck, including: lines and wrinkles, pigmentation (melasma, age spots) and acne scars.
HOW DOES MICRO-NEEDLING WORK?
Micro-needling at our clinic in Buckinghamshire works by pricking the skin with a series of tiny needles to produce multiple microchannels in the skin. We prefer to use SkinPen over other skin microneedling devices as it is controlled electronically, which means we can precisely control the depth of penetration. This process causes minor trauma which stimulates a phased response that helps to rejuvenate the complexion. Firstly the skin works to clean itself, removing dirt and debris whilst also regenerating new tissues through increased blood flow. Secondly, new skin cells are produced to repair the tiny wounds, along with new blood vessels. Lastly, the new skin cells and tissues replenish the complexion to reveal fresh and healthy skin. Our expert practitioners in Chalfont St Peter near Gerrards Cross often recommend a course of 3 treatments, undertaken every 4 – 6 weeks.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM SKIN MICRONEEDLING?
Micro-needling at Dr Grace Kelly in Chalfont St Peter can produce great results. A noticeable improvement to the look and feel of the skin may take between 3 and 6 months to fully develop as the skin replenishes itself. Remodelling the tissues softens the look of wrinkles and fills in the characteristic indentations of scarring for a smoother appearance to the skin. Repairing damaged cells, as well as producing new ones, can eliminate areas of pigmentation for a brighter, more even tone.
Faqs
Microneedling at our Buckinghamshire clinic in Chalfont St Peter can be used on many different skin types, and people often request this treatment when their appearance is beginning to look dull and tired. A comprehensive consultation establishes your suitability, which also outlines the type of results you are likely to achieve.
SkinPen is a microneedling device that has FDA approval, a certification that validates its safety (providing you are recommended to be a suitable candidate). At the Dr Grace Kelly microneedling clinic in Chalfont St Peter patient welfare is our top priority and we do everything we can throughout the treatment to ensure your well-being.
As the SkinPen device works by piercing the skin, you may feel some slight discomfort. This is usually minor, and our Buckinghamshire practitioners at Dr Grace Kelly microneedling clinic will apply a mild numbing cream to the treatment area if you feel this would benefit you.
Some patients at our Buckinghamshire microneedling clinic feel the need for around 24 – 48 hours of downtime following the treatment. The treated area may feel tender, with swelling, redness and slight bruising being likely side effects. The sensation may feel similar to mild sunburn, which eases within a day or two. Other risks will be outlined during the consultation in Chalfont St Peter.
Your Dr Grace Kelly practitioner will provide you with advice on how best to care for your skin after the micro-needling treatment. This may include applying a high SPF, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun as the skin will be more sensitive than usual.
