Rejuvenate Texture, Tone, and Improve Scarring With Natural Results In Grange Park, North London

SkinPen is commonly used for acne scarring, rough texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, and dull or uneven-looking skin.

SkinPen is a precise micro-mechanical skin remodelling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production and increasing cell turnover. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns. It is particularly effective for addressing acne scarring, surgical scars, large pores, pigmentation, sun damage, stretchmarks and signs of ageing.

For optimal results, we recommend a course of 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number will depend on your skin’s condition and the specific issues you want to address. After the initial course, maintenance sessions can help sustain the benefits.

Treatment is usually tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to make the procedure more comfortable.

Yes, SkinPen is safe for all skin types and tones and can be used on all parts of the body including the face, neck and decolletage.

A. Microneedling is a very safe treatment that can be done all year round, on all skin types and body areas. Avoid this treatment if:

• You have active skin cancer in the treatment area, open wounds, sores, irritated skin in the treatment area or have a poor wound healing response
• You have an allergy to stainless steel or anaesthetics
• You are immunosuppressed
• You have taken oral retinoids/isotretinoin (e.g Roaccutane) in the past 6 months

Most patients experience redness similar to mild sunburn for 24-48 hours, with temporary dryness or tightness. You are able to wear makeup and other skincare products and resume exercise/intense activity after 24 hours.

Early glow can be seen soon after treatment, with progressive improvements over several weeks as collagen remodelling continues.

Improvement is gradual and results continue to work up to 4-6 months post-treatment.

Yes, SkinPen micro-needling is suitable for all seasons, though sun protection is crucial after each session.

Post-treatment the skin will be reddened, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. There may be some puffiness and you may feel the treatment area feels tight and mildly tender. The skin may flake in the first few days. Do not pick the flaking skin and instead, allow it to shed naturally.

First 24 hours:

• Do use the LIFT Hydrogel as needed (provided in your treatment pack) to calm and soothe the skin.
• Do not apply any other products, including make-up or cleanser on your skin.
• In lieu of cleansing your skin, you may rinse with cool water as needed.
• Don’t touch your skin unnecessarily immediately post-treatment to avoid the risk of a post-treatment infection.
• Strictly avoid the sun as you will not be wearing sunscreen.
• Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive perspiration for 1-3 days post-procedure as excess blood flow and sweat can cause discomfort and irritation to compromised skin.
• Use a clean pillowcase and clean towels.

24 hours post treatment:

• Wear a high SPF sun cream. Continue to minimize sun exposure for 72 hours post-procedure.
• Apply the RESCUE Calming Complex as needed to help soothe and calm the skin. RESCUE was specifically formulated for post-microneedling.
• Resume normal skincare but avoid using any active skin care topical products, such as retinoids, AHA, BHA, and vitamin C for the first week after the SkinPen Precision procedure to reduce the risk of irritation.
• Avoid other facial aesthetic treatments for 1-4 weeks following treatment. Speak to Dr Clare for exact advice on how best to combine it with other treatments.
• Contact me if you have any questions/concerns following the procedure.
