Microneedling Wrinkles Treatment in Manchester

Microneedling, also known as collagen introduction therapy, is a highly effective skin rejuvenation treatment that involves using a device fitted with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering an increase in collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, making microneedling one of the most popular and sought-after non-invasive treatments in the skincare world.

At Pro Skin and beauty, we use Derma 2.0 products during the microneedling treatment to enhance the effectiveness of the procedure. These premium skincare products are designed to maximise the benefits of microneedling, ensuring faster recovery and superior results.

Microneedling offers a variety of skin benefits, helping to address several common skin concerns:

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: As we age, collagen production naturally declines. Microneedling stimulates the body’s collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With consistent treatment, you can achieve smoother and more youthful skin.
• Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Microneedling is highly effective at evening out skin tone and improving skin texture. It can significantly reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage, as well as reduce the appearance of large pores. This leaves your skin looking smoother, more radiant, and healthier.
• Minimises Scars and Stretch Marks: Microneedling is particularly effective in minimising the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. By promoting collagen production in the treated areas, microneedling helps to break down scar tissue and encourage the growth of fresh, healthy skin.
• Enhances Product Absorption: After microneedling, the skin’s absorption ability is greatly improved. The tiny punctures created during the procedure allow active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate deeper, making them more effective. For even better results, we use Derma 2.0 products, which are specifically formulated to work in harmony with microneedling.

Is microneedling painful?

Microneedling is generally well tolerated, with most clients experiencing only mild discomfort. To minimise discomfort, we apply a topical numbing cream to the treated area before the procedure. For those with sensitive skin, a gentle steam treatment may be used to soften the skin. The procedure is relatively quick, and most clients find it tolerable.

How long is the recovery time?

Recovery time for microneedling is minimal. Most clients experience some redness and slight swelling, which is similar to mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. You can return to your regular activities within 24-48 hours, making it an ideal treatment for those with busy schedules.

How many sessions will I need?

For optimal results, we recommend a series of three microneedling sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This allows the skin time to heal and regenerate between sessions, maximising the treatment’s benefits. Depending on the severity of your skin concerns, additional sessions may be recommended for more significant improvements.

Before the Treatment:

• Avoid sun exposure for at least 24-48 hours before your appointment.
• Discontinue the use of active ingredients (like retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid) in your skincare routine at least a few days prior to treatment.
• Hydrate your skin by drinking plenty of water before the procedure.

After the Treatment:

• Keep the skin clean by using a gentle cleanser and applying a hydrating serum.
• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from UV rays, as the skin may be more sensitive to the sun post-treatment.
• Avoid excessive heat (such as saunas, hot tubs, or intense exercise) for 24-48 hours after the procedure.
• Refrain from using exfoliants or strong active ingredients for at least a week 

Side Effects and Risks of Microneedling:

While microneedling is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a professional, it is important to be aware of potential side effects. Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a day. In rare cases, bruising, infection, or scarring may occur, which is why it’s essential to choose a trained and experienced practitioner to perform the treatment.
