Micro-needling can not only reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but the appearance of larger pores, acne scars and stretch marks from pregnancy. It can also even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and melasma.
How exactly does it work?
The procedure works by increasing the production of collagen, an essential protein that helps keep our skin looking youthful, but which unfortunately decreases as we get older. Consequently, microneedling can make your skin much firmer and smoother, encouraging healing and producing a glowing complexion.
It works by using tiny (micro) needles which cause minute punctures in the skin. This encourages the body to create a wound-healing response
Skintique Clinic uses the SkinPen Precision, a FDA and BSI approved medical grade micro-needling device.
We can treat a number of different areas using micro-needling, including the neck and face, decolletage, and the back of the hands. Even hair can benefit from this process, for since microneedling helps to stimulate growth. This technique is safe for all skin types and the side effects are similar to a mild to modern sunburn. Recovery time is quick and usually doesn’t last longer than 48 hours.
This is just one of the many anti-ageing treatments we offer at our clinic in Leicestershire.
