Are you on the lookout for a minimally invasive yet profoundly effective strategy to rejuvenate your skin and unveil a more youthful complexion? Urban Body Aesthetics invites you to explore the transformative benefits of micro-needling, a procedure renowned for its ability to stimulate collagen production and dramatically enhance your skin’s appearance.
What is Micro-needling?
Micro-needling stands out as a safe, comfortable, and remarkably efficient technique designed to amplify your skin’s collagen regeneration. This process is exceptionally beneficial for addressing various skin concerns, including the signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, scarring from acne, and hyper-pigmentation issues.
Targeted Skin Concerns
– Micro-needling offers a versatile solution to a range of skin conditions:
– Acne scars
– Wrinkles
– Uneven skin tone and enlarged pores
– Hyper-pigmentation
– Collagen production deficits
– General skin rejuvenation
– Non-surgical face lifting
– Improvement of cellulite and stretch marks
What To Results To Expect From Micro-needling?
Post-treatment, you can look forward to observing a significant improvement in skin elasticity, texture, and luminosity. The outcome is smoother, brighter skin with a more uniform tone, empowering you to feel supremely confident in your natural skin. Micro-needling not only revitalises the skin’s surface but also promotes deep, intrinsic healing and rejuvenation.
Microneedling at Urban Body is more than a cosmetic treatment; it’s a gateway to discovering the full potential of your skin’s natural beauty and health. By stimulating the body’s own healing processes, microneedling unveils a fresher, more vibrant complexion that radiates youthfulness.
I have designed the treatment to guarantee your maximum comfort. I first apply a topical anaesthetic to “numb” the area, and then I prep your skin using a gentle enzymatic peel. Next, I apply your preferred serum on the surface, and finally, I use my precise micro-needling device to stimulate collagen production and promote healing, which results in a firmer, smoother, and younger complexion.
My micro-needling treatment brings about instant results, such as skin tightening and pore reduction during the healing process. Moreover, the newly formed collagen production helps firm the skin and enhance its texture within 4-6 weeks of treatment, which will make the skin look healthier and more radiant. It also reduces pigmentation on the skin which makes the skin tone more even.
Unlike other procedures, my micro-needling treatment needs no clinical downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine with no delay. However, you may experience a little redness and swelling in the treated area, which usually disappears within 24-48 hours. In addition, it is not uncommon to have some skin flaking around day 3-5 following the treatment.
Your skin will see improvements after one session but I advise my patients to go for a course of 3-6 treatments, spaced every four weeks for optimal results. Yearly maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain collagen production and skin quality improvements.
Before treatment it is important that you avoid the following: – Avoid topical creams including retinoids (vit A), exfoliants and topical antibiotics 5-7 days before treatment. They might increase your skins sensitivity – Accutane for 6 months prior to treatment – Anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen 3 days before treatment – Laser treatments, tanning beds and sun exposure for 2 weeks prior – Avoid shaving on the day of your treatment Following micro-needling treatment, it’s crucial to follow some pre-cautions to avoid any complications. I recommend that you avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours, touching the treated area, and expose it to any hot tubs, saunas, or swimming for two days. Sun exposure or the use of sunbeds should also be avoided for 7 days. The majority of patients can begin their regular skincare regime 5-7 days after treatment
If you have active acne, wound-healing issues, an active infection, or are pregnant/nursing, this treatment may not be suitable for you. Schedule a consultation to see if microneedling is an option for you.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal fillers do not improve the skin quality. They improve volume loss and reduce muscle contraction to prevent lines getting deeper but micro needling works to on the surface to improve the thickness and quality of your skin. Healthier and more hydrated skin means you get an even better result from any Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Filler treatment.
Most definitely! We know that during the menopause women go through the biggest decline in collagen production and their skin can drastically change in appearance. As micro-needling stimulates collagen it will tackle many of the menopausal skin concerns such as age spots, fine lines and wrinkles.
Discovering Your Suitability for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers might be your ideal choice if you’re experiencing facial changes due to ageing, weight fluctuations, or facial asymmetry. The practitioners at Urban Body will conduct a thorough consultation to examine your facial structure, discuss your desires, and review your medical history. This ensures a personalised treatment plan that aligns perfectly with your unique needs.
Modern dermal fillers are extremely safe, so much so that no test patches are required before treatment
This was my first experience with a skin consultation and treatments. I really appreciated not being pressured into any procedures and I was given a wide range of options to choose from. I would definitely recommened.
