About Microneedling
- Basic needling 65%
- Advanced needling 100%
Cosmetic and medical needling
Mesotherapy as a term describes the process of needling in conjunction with the delivery of active ingredients to the skin. These include vitamins and minerals to increase hydration, pigmentation reduction or inhibition products, and products that reduce inflammation or oil production. It can be used for cosmetic and medical purposes. This is dictated by the depth of penetration into the skin required & the practitioner’s level of qualification/skill
Cosmetic Needling
Cosmetic needling is delivered mostly by aesthetic/beauty therapists ( or as part of a home care regime) and is usually limited in the UK to 0.2- 0.3 mm and only penetrates into the outer two layers of the epidermis. The primary aim is to allow better absorption of skin products and maintain healthy skin turnover
Medical Needling
Medical Needling is performed by health care practitioners ( Nurses or Drs) or advanced aesthetic therapists and can penetrate to depths from 0.5- 3.0 mm which can reach into the dermis layer which contains the collagen and elastin.
Benefits of Microneedling
The downtime/recovery time is short ( days or hours)
The risk of infection is very low ( when post procedure instruction are adhered to)
The effects are ongoing and easy to maintain, especially when a good home care range is followed.
There is very little injury, as the epidermis ( outer protective layer of skin) is preserved.
Mesotherapy can be combined with other treatments, such as chemical peels and laser resurfacing for greater effect.

There are a variety of devices that can be used to contain the needles including gun, rollers, stamps and pens, and the needle material is usually surgical steel or titanium. ( occasionally gold and silver as they have an anti-microbial effect).

Do You Have Any Questions?
FAQs
Is mesotherapy painful?
It is important that any discomfort be reported to the practitioner. More discomfort does not always mean more effectiveness.
There is usually some redness after the procedure which settles over the coming hours. It is not uncommon for small areas to look bruised and puffy and this is normal. Any spot bleeding usually resolves during the procedure. Many patients report it to feel like a mild sunburn.
Make up is not advised to be worn until at least day 3 after the treatment, and mineral based products and clean brushes are recommended
How many treatments needed?
It is common to undergo a program of treatment with a maintenance schedule.
What is the process for treatment?
Occasionally a patch test may be required. This is where a small amount of the active ingredient is applied to the skin to ascertain if there may be an adverse reaction. This is usually carried out 48 hours before a proposed treatment.
You will be required to complete a consent form to authorise the practitioner to carry out the treatment at each appointment and confirm that you have understood all the information you have been given.
The procedure itself takes a maximum of 30 minutes. After the treatment, you will be given an information sheet with all the instructions you need to follow for a safe recovery
