Rejuvapen - Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling has been around since 1950 and  is also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy and is the use of microneedles to create controlled microscopic needle incisons in the stratum corneum. 

How does it work?

The idea is based on the skin's ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage.  In this case thousands of minute wounds are created in the skin by highly precise, sterile needles.  Immediately after the injury occurs the skin disperses  old damaged connective tissue and replaces it with the new.  Rejuvapen microneedling allows for controlled induction of the skin's self-repair mechanism by creating micro "injuries" in the skin which triggers new collagen synthesis yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring.  The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin and fainter scars/stretchmarks.

Who will benefit?

People concerned about fine lines, wrinkles, scarring including acne scarring and mild vascular rosacea.  A study looking at the effect of micro needling on facial scarring demonstrated a 1-2 grade reduction in scar severity in 89% of trial subjects.  Clients who undergo a course of treatment report a 60%-80% improvement in their skin.

What happens during the treatment?

Prior to any treatment a full consultation with your therapist will take place to determine your suitability, needs and expectations.  The whole treatment takes around 60 minutes plus additional time for topical anesthetic which is used to numb the skin and ensures you are comfortable during the treatment.

After your skin is numbed the therapist will gently move the rejuvapen over your skin to puncture the epidermis layers of the skin and create minute sub-cutaneous injuries.  These microscopic wounds close within 3-5 minutes, but that's enough to stimulate new collagen deposition which may last for up to a year.  You may experience some slight discomfort, particularly around the sensitive areas of your face such as around the eyes.

What is included in the treatment?

The treatment will commence with a thorough consultation and application of topical anaesthetic which takes approximately 35 minutes to work.  Your therapist will remain with you during this time.  A thorough cleansing regime then takes place to remove all impurities and traces of anaesthetic from your skin.  Your therapist will then gently glide the rejuvapen over your skin targeting all your concerns.  A hydrating and repairing cellulose mask is then applied followed by a Lightfusion phototherapy treatment for 10 minutes.  The phototherapy helps to soothe, hydrate and repairs your skin.

How many treatments should I have?

Each client is different and so are their needs so each microneedling course is different.  Treatments should be once every 6 weeks for 4-6 months.  You can expect to continue seeing results  for up to 6-8 months after the last treatment as your skins' matrix regrows new collagen.

What are the side effects?

After the treatment your skin will show signs of redness and will appear similar to mild sunburn and there may be some slight swelling.   This will begin to subside between 24-48 hours after treatment.  During the first 3 days you will experience some tightness, dryness and mild sensitivity to touch in some areas.

What aftercare will I need to follow?

Your therapist will advise you of a rescue skincare routine to help soothe and protect  the skin and enhance the results.  We also recommend use of a sunblock everyday.  We advise you not to wear makeup for 2-3 days.
