COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
(MICRONEEDLING)
Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing controlled trauma to the skin.
Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.
Aging causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of aging.Skin can also lose collagen due to injuries, such as acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars.
Microneedling is a non-invasive but extremely effective rejuvenation treatment which harnesses your skin’s natural ability to repair itself.
If you are looking for an enhanced Micro-Needling experience and results, then the Dr Pen could be a great option for you – it takes Micro-Needling that one step further and positively improves your skin texture and tone.
The Dr Pen has the ability to control the depth of needling needed specicific to each area to achieve the best results.

What does the microneedling treatment involve?
A thorough skin consultation is carried out, concentrating on helping you understand the procedure, possible side effects, and the importance of aftercare.
The treatment area is disinfected and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied (if required or requested) and left to activate for 20 minutes. Once numb, working area by area, the numbing cream is removed, the skin disinfected and a hydrating, healing, hyaluronic acid serum is applied. Using a single-use sterile treatment tip, the skin is needled. Once the micro-needling is finished, the skin is thoroughly cleansed using a gentle antiseptic cleanser and moisturised.
Long term results and skin health are achieved by a course of micro-needling treatments, normally 4-6 sessions over 4 - 6 months.
Downtime
Day 1: Possible erythema and red appearance which varies between people.
Day 2: A red or pink hue persists like a moderate sunburn. Light swelling may be noticeable on waking and usually subsides as the day goes on.
Day 3: Skin may still be slightly pink. The slight swelling has usually subsided. On subsequent days the skin may feel tight and dry.
Your normal skin care programme can be resumed after day 3, with more active products being introduced after day 5 or when the skin has returned to normal.
Appropriate skin care will be recommended on the day of your treatment to help accelerate the healing process, protect the skin from the environment and enhance your desired results.
How long does the treatment take?
20 minutes for numbing cream and 20-40 minutes for the Micro-Needling procedure.
This is dependent on the area to be treated.
