SkinPen Microneedling

ABOUT

SkinPen is a medical microneedling device that organically stimulates the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. As we age the natural architecture of our skin deteriorates. This deterioration leads to fine lines, wrinkles, large pores and uneven skin texture.

SkinPen comfortably creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin (98,000 channels per minute) to trigger the body’s natural wound healing process. This process results in the formation and remodeling of collagen, which supports the underlying tissue.

With this treatment, we initiate your body’s ability to heal and regenerate in response. We initiate the process, your body does the rest! SkinPen is a medically engineered ergonomic device that utilizes 14 Japanese stainless steel surgical grade needles to deliver effective vertical skin needling. Different to manual rollers, SkinPen’s precise needle depth settings allow for bespoke targeted individual treatments whilst minimising trauma (roller devices use only one depth and can create ‘slits’ on the skin that can increase downtime).

RESULTS

Results are often seen after just one SkinPen™ treatment, however cumulative treatments (3-6 treatments at 4-6 week intervals) are usually required to achieve the full desired result. The regenerating process will continue for up to 24 months after treatment.

The unique oscillating system reduces pain by diffusing nerve sensation. We use a local anaesthetic cream prior to your treatment for comfort.

Post treatment the skin will be red, warm and possibly a little puffy. You will also experience skin tightness. The main redness improves over the following 3-4 hours, and overall redness usually subsides within 24-48 hours. Skin flaking may also occur in the first few days. These are all normal responses.

BioRePeel

ABOUT

BioRePeel is a medium depth, 30% TCA chemical peel that does not disrupt the stratum corneum. Being both lipophilic and hydrophilic, this peel is stabilizing, protective, and restores and maintains the cutaneous hydro-lipidic film. Biostimulating actions ensure fibroblasts’ activity, activate cutaneous proliferating, as well as increase cellular turnover and collagen and elastin production. Using a carrying ingredient that pulls everything into the dermis, this modulated peel works backwards, from the inside outward. This peel is safe for summer, safe for melanin, and can be done every 7-10 days for up to six treatments.
