Micro-needling

In our experience micro-needling treatments help prevent signs of ageing and kick start the skin rejuvenation process. Micro-needling is mainly used to treat skin conditions such as acne scarring, fine lines, uneven skin tone. Many of clients are willing to overcome the discomfort of the treatment and any post treatment redness in the quest for more youthful even toned skin.

Both the Dermapen and derma rollers method create superficial micro-injuries in the skin to kick start the skin’s natural ability to repair itself and replace damaged tissue with new cells and collagen. The benefits of micro-injuries to the skin are enhanced by delivering specific serums into the dermis, such as vitamin C that is used for skin brightening, hyaluronic acid for hydration and retinol for dull, lifeless skin that have fine lines.

Micro-needling is not for the faint hearted, if you can’t tolerate a bit of pain, a chemical peel could be a better option, but the results will be more superficial and will not be as longer lasting.

A topical anaesthetic (Emla) is applied for 20 minutes and will take the edge off, however expect to feel some pain on bony areas such as the forehead and nose. Although the Dermapen method is more invasive it is less painful that derma rollers.

The treatments effectiveness is upon on bringing blood to the surface of the skin treatment; however, the skin is calmed with cold compresses and a tinted soothing cream. Expect to have slightly pink skin at the end of the treatment, although this will subside with 48 hours maximum.

Expect to have a course of at least 5 treatments, taken once a month to achieve long term results that you will be happy with.

Mesotherapy

The mesotherapy method is a very effective way to deliver serums into the dermis using a gun. There are two ways of performing mesotherapy – The derma pen method or by injecting the serum into the skin manually with a fine meso needle.

The method we choose will depend on the result you want to achieve and your skin. If your skin is sluggish and needs stimulating and radiance, using the dermapen is a better option.

If the skin needs hydration and nourishing, then injecting a blend of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and vitamins with the gun is a better choice.  

Mesotherapy can slow down the skin’s ageing process by consistently infusing it with the depleted hyaluronic acid and vitamins, however when wrinkles have already appeared dermal fillers become a much more effective option.

A course of 6 treatments every 2-3 weeks is recommended.

Pigmentation is often very stubborn skin issue to treat as the melanin clusters take longer to break up and come to the surface, hence why we often have to carry out the Revival skin lightening peel between mesotherapy treatments to also treat the damaged epidermis.

In our experience, mesotherapy for hair loss is very expensive, short term solution and not worth the money, the slight results we have seen haven’t lasted for very long even though a full course of treatments were taken. We have seen clients that have had a hair transplant having longer term more visible results.

No, it is really difficult to promise a result on stubborn cellulite, we have done case studies on some of our clients and the results are disappointing to say the least.
