Book a ConsultationWhat is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns by means of boosting collagen production. It involves a trained practitioner using a mechanical device to make multiple tiny microinjuries in your skin with sterile needles. Sometimes called 'collagen induction therapy', micro-needling treatment helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
The Dermapen used at Private Harley Street Clinic is an leading clinical Microneedling device, proven to dramatically reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and acne scarring, revealing tauter, brighter, fresh-looking skin.
Key Areas for Treatment:
Microneedling is usually performed on the face to target:
- Decreased skin elasticity
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sundamage
- Uneven skin tone
- Acne scars
Microneedling is also effective in the treatment of stretch-marks and scarring on other parts of the body, such as :
- Thighs
- Abdomen
- Chest
- Buttocks
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling stimulates your skin to make more collagen, the key component of the skin that is naturally lost over time. The microneedling device is passed over the skin by your medical practitioner, creating thousands of microscopic injuries to skin, and the body responds with a healing response, resulting in new, collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury but, by encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen after treatment, to help make the skin firmer.
Expert Insight:
"Microneedling is a great option for patients concerned about acne scarring, fine lines and other texture/pigmentation issues. It's quick and easy to perform and is best used as part of an ongoing treatment plan, in combination with nourishing topical treatments, to keep your skin looking fresh, firm and bright."
Dr Emily Strong, Advanced Nurse Practitioner
Down-time
Depending on depth of treatment, downtime for Microneedling is usually 3 - 5 days.
You might notice some redness and pin-prick marks in the days after the treatment - these will fade revealing brighter, tighter, collagen rich tissue.
Costs
Costs depend on the number of areas that your practitioner advises. As each treatment is fully personalised, the best way to obtain an idea of cost is to have a consultation with us.
Microneedling treatment costs typically range from £175 - £550, depending on your individual treatment plan.
Appointment Time
The appointment time incorporates 30 minutes for the skin numbing cream to take effect - the Microneedling itself takes around 15 minutes.
Refresh Time
Microneedling is recommend as a course of treatments, rather than a one off, to ensure consistently good results. We recommend leaving 6 - 8 weeks between treatments.
