Overview
Microneedling is a fantastic treatment for skin tightening and rejuvenation, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and scars.
Often referred to as collagen induction therapy, Micro-needling stimulates the body’s own natural healing response to plump, firm and smooth the skin, resulting in a younger, fresher, and healthier look.
Microneedling Mesotherapy &
How It Works?
From the age of 20, the collagen in our skin starts to diminish, which is what causes many of the typical signs of ageing. Microneedling stimulates the collagen production in the skin, causing it to plump and firm to the way it would have looked in the past.
Microneedling is a safe and effective skin rejuvenating treatment that treats various skin imperfections and restores a healthy, youthful appearance. Combined with a bespoke, carefully selected medical-grade Mesotherapy cocktail, this enhanced treatment leaves the skin firmer and more radiant.
Microneedling uses miniature, sterilised needles to pinprick the dermis layer of the skin, creating micro-injuries, which encourage the body to repair damaged cells and generate collagen-rich tissue in response. By taking advantage of the body’s natural healing processes, this rejuvenating procedure is a safe and minimally invasive method of boosting collagen and elastin.
Mesotherapy/Micro-Needling can also be effective in tackling hair loss by encouraging hair growth and improving hair quality.

The 3 Main Home Care Ranges:
The home care products contain:
-
Powerful Anti-Oxidants to fight free radicals and each range has its own unique plant & fruit extracts/ active ingredients.
-
The Lowest Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid – Which is naturally occurring in the body, which declines over time thus wrinkles become more visible. It maximises collagen levels to keep the skin supple and keeps collagen synthesis up, as well as retaining skin moisture (holding up to 1,000 times its weight in moisture) Contributing to the anti-ageing benefits to the skin.
-
sh-oligopeptide-1 (EGF) – That has the identical chemical structure to an epidermal growth factor and has been shown to increase the rate of healing and renewal of the skin, as well as slow the thinning of ageing skin, thus minimising wrinkles.
-
Synthetic Proteins as opposed to animal, so less likelihood of allergic reactions.
-
CLINICCARE is 100% Vegan – Not tested on animals and free of animal
Pre and Post-treatment Advice
IMMEDIATELY AFTER – Refrain from touching the skin with your hands until the pores have had the chance to close. Do not pick or pull the skin. Gently wash the treated areas on the same day, but do not aggressively rub or massage the face. Do not scrub. Pat dry only with a clean towel.
24 HOURS AFTER – do not drink alcoholic beverages.
12-48 HOURS AFTER – Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Then, you may use a light moisturiser, hyaluronic acid serums, sunscreen, and mineral-based makeup.
48-72 HOURS AFTER – You may use your regular skin care regimen. Using a retinol product is strongly recommended as it will optimise your results.
3-5 DAYS AFTER – Avoid facial products containing fragrance and harsh chemicals as these may irritate the skin.
7 DAYS AFTER – use an intensive moisturiser as your skin may feel drier or tighter after your treatment—this is quite normal.
10 DAYS AFTER – avoid direct sun exposure. NO TANNING BEDS.
14 DAYS AFTER – Avoid chlorinated water (swimming or cleaning). Avoid electrolysis, waxing, bleaching (face), depilatory cream, laser hair removal. Apply sun cream with an SPF50 (such as Million Dollar SPF50 cream) daily. Refrain from extreme temperatures such as intensive sunlight, saunas, and steam baths.
Full aftercare can be recommended and purchased on the day of your treatment; please speak to your practitioner prior to or in your appointment.
