Cosmetic – Skin Micro-needling

What is Skin Micro-needling?

Skin Micro-needling is a modern treatment derived from the combination of acupuncture and mesotherapy.

A skin needling devise with multiples microscopic needles is used to create tiny punctures in the skin at a shallow depth.  This encourages the skin to release growth factors which in turn are responsible for the changes that take place.   At a microscopic level, proliferated skin cells, such as fibroblasts, migrate to the point of injury and are transformed into collagen fibers, resulting
in increased strength and elasticity. (1)

What kind of serums do you use and how many sessions do I need?

We use only the best of the best with the brand Mesoestetics.

Fine lines and wrinkles

We micro-needle in a high quality, sterile, injectable serum designed specifically for signs of aging.  Our serums contain Hyloronic acid, idebenone, taurine and vitamin C. We repeat treatments every 5 weeks for 6 sessions then no further sessions for 6 months. This allow the collagen produced  to reach full maturation, offering it’s maximum result before continuing with further sessions if required.

Thin skin

We micro-needle in a high quality, sterile, injectable serum designed specifically for thinning skin.  Our skin naturally thins as we age leading to a more aged look of the face but also easier injuries to the arms and legs.  Our serums contain hyloronic acid, and  mesopeptides which promote redensification of the dermis.  We repeat treatments every 5 weeks for 6 sessions pre area then no further sessions to that area for 6 months. This allow the collagen produced to reach full maturation, offering it’s maximum result before continuing with further sessions if required.

Scarring

We micro-needle in a high quality, sterile, injectable serum designed specifically for stretch marks and scars.  The serum containes X-DNA, darutoside, organic silicon, chlorella vulgaris and hyloronic acid.  We repeat treatments every 2 weeks until desired or maximum result is achieved.

We micro-needle in a high quality, sterile, injectable serum designed specifically for pigmentation and unifying skin tone.  The serum contains hyloronic acid, tranexamic acid, vitamin C, N-acetyl glucosamine and idebenone with brightening and antioxidants effects. We repeat treatments every 2 weeks until desired or maximum result is achieved.

Hair loss

We micro-needle in a high quality, sterile, injectable serum designed specifically for hair loss.  The serum contains copper peptides, Vit B complex, Pyridoxine and capsaicin.  Treatments are repeated every 4 weeks for 6-8 session then we take a 6 month break to allow the maximum results to take effect before we repeat with further sessions.

Is there any down time?

There is skin redness immediately after similar to having scratched your skin, by the next day the redness is usually reduced  by 90% and gone the day after that.  To prevent contamination and avoid irritation, it is preferred that you do no wear make up for approximately 20 hours after having your treatment.
