Micro-needling or/and mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing processes, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Micro-needling is an effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture.

How Does Micro-Needling Work?

During the procedure, a fine needle is used to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful. The treatment is typically well-tolerated, and the procedure can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and décolletage.

Benefits of Micro-Needling

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Micro-needling stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.
• Improves Skin Texture: By promoting collagen production, micro-needling enhances skin texture and tone, making it look more even and radiant.
• Reduces Acne Scarring: The treatment is effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating the production of new, healthy skin cells.
• Non-Surgical: Micro-needling is a non-invasive procedure that does not require surgery or downtime, making it a great alternative for those seeking a rejuvenating treatment without the risks of surgery.
• Minimal Downtime: Most people experience little to no downtime following the treatment, with only mild redness or swelling that typically subsides within a few hours.

Here’s what you can expect during your micro-needling session at Chiswick Park Dental:

1. Consultation: During your consultation, our practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your goals to determine if micro-needling is right for you.
2. Preparation: Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to ensure comfort during the treatment.
3. Micro-Needling Procedure: Using a microneedling device, the practitioner will gently roll over the treatment area, creating tiny punctures in the skin. This process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
