Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. By stimulating the body’s natural healing process, microneedling promotes the production of collagen and elastin, helping to address a variety of skin concerns.

​

During your consultation, Dr. Danielle Richards will address your skin concerns and create a tailored treatment plan. Your skin will be cleansed and prepared with a numbing cream ensuring maximum comfort.  Our German-engineered, FDA-approved microneedling device features advanced retracting needles, setting it apart from many other brands and providing precise and effective collagen stimulation.

The procedure takes 30 minutes and numbing cream is applied prior to ensure that you have a comfortable treatment. Post-treatment redness, similar to a light sunburn, typically subsides within 48 hours, leaving you on the path to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.​​

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline

  • Immediately After: Mild redness and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, which subsides within 24-48 hours.

  • Day 2-3: Skin may feel slightly dry or tight as it begins to heal.

  • Day 4-7: Subtle flaking or peeling may occur as new skin cells regenerate.

  • Full Recovery: Most clients fully recover within a week, with noticeable improvements continuing for weeks.

​​

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for the first 24 hours to reduce risk of infection.

  • Skip Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation and infection. If you must wear makeup, mineral makeup is preferred.

  • Use Gentle Skincare: Stick to mild, non-irritating cleansers and moisturisers. Avoid active ingredients like retinol or acids for a week.

  • Apply Sunscreen: Protect your skin with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight.

  • Avoid Heat and Sweating: Steer clear of saunas, hot showers, or intense exercise for 48 hours to minimise inflammation and risk of infection.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration and healing.
