Microneedling

Treatment description

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that promotes the creation of collagen to improve skin appearance. This procedure, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny, sterile needles to make tiny punctures in the skin. Following microneedling, the skin's natural healing process can help lessen the visibility of scars and dark spots while also increasing skin suppleness. The increasing number of advantages of microneedling has contributed to its popularity. It may be tailored to each individual's needs and is believed to renew and plump the skin with little discomfort and recovery time. Micro needling is most frequently used on the face. According to research, microneedling can effectively treat stretch marks on the thighs and abdomen scarring on other body parts may also be addressed. Microneedling has also been found to encourage hair growth in those who have experienced Alopecia/hair loss/thinning.

Risks of Microneedling

peeling

You may not be an ideal candidate for microneedling if you:

have certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis or eczema
have open wounds or active acne

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Botox treatment work?

When injected into a muscle, Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) blocks nerve signals to temporarily relax the muscle. Dynamic wrinkles are prevented from forming because the nerve impulses are stopped and the muscle is temporarily unable to contract. This makes the skin appear more youthful, softer, and smoother.

Are the injections painful?

Given that a very fine needle is used, Botox injections are generally painless. As a result, patients do not need any anaesthetic. The entire procedure lasts for roughly 15-20 minutes, and you can drive and go to work the same day.

Are there any adverse effects?

Botox treatments have very few adverse effects. Occasionally, people report a little localised discomfort and tenderness following injections. There may be some slight swelling at the injection site, but this normally goes away within 48 hours. Additionally, some minor bruising is possible. Sometimes, the procedure can cause surrounding muscle groups to relax, temporarily causing the eyebrow or eyelids to droop. This might last for a few weeks, but it will subside gradually. Although it can happen, allergic reactions are extremely uncommon with medicines. As the muscles in the forehead relax, some people may experience tension-type headaches.

Is Botox safe for use?

The use of botulinum toxin as a muscle relaxant has a long history in medicine and is incredibly safe. Over the past 20 years, it has been used successfully in both adults and children for a range of medical issues. Since it has been used to treat facial wrinkles aesthetically for about 15years, it has grown to be one of the most well-liked and often administered cosmetic procedures.

How long does it last?

After the initial treatment, it can take 2 to 14 days before the full results are visible. The cosmetic results normally last between three and four months but can sometimes continue for up to six months. A 2 week review will be carried out to evaluate effectiveness of initial treatment. If required, a small top up dose may be offered. The effects will begin to gradually begin to wear off around 8 weeks post initial treatment. Most people decide to get further treatment when movement returns. It is not advisable to have another treatment within 12 weeks, as this can result in resistance. However, regular treatments will help the longevity of the effects.

What After Care Advice Should I Follow?

Avoid rubbing or touching the injected areas and avoid having facials and massage for 48 hours to reduce the potential for infection at the site of injection. Vigorous exercise and alcohol-based products, should be avoided for 48hours post treatment, as these can increase possibility of bruising. If bruising develops, Arnica cream can be used. Paracetamol can be taken for mild pain post procedure if required, avoid any anti-inflammatory medications as these can increase the risk of bruising.
