Pre and post care is vital to the result.
It is essential that you prepare your skin properly prior to having your Microneedling treatment to reduce sensitivity. Your Skin Therapist will advise you on the correct AlumierMD or Environ homecare products and preparation procedure.
Treatment includes: Microneedling treatment begins with thorough skin cleansing, cool gel is applied to the skin and micro-needling begins. Medical microneedling treatment involves a little discomfort but is gentle on the skin. The depth of micro-needle penetration ranges from 0.5mm (superficial) to 1.9mm (aggressive).
LED phototherapy - All our customised peels conclude with LED 20 mins. LED wavelengths will penetrate the skin to help multiple skin conditions by stimulating the body’s own growth and repair, reduce inflammation and will speed up the healing process after clinical treatments. Following micro-needling treatment, the serum is re-applied. All treatments include LED Light Therapy to calm any redness or sensitivity and ensure optimum results.
Post treatment
- With superficial treatment, the skin may remain unchanged or exhibit a red glow like mild sunburn sensation that resolves by morning.
- With a more aggressive treatment, the skin will look sunburned for a day or two with possible pinprick scabbing which resolves in 2 to 3 days.
- The mild sunburn-like effect after treatment is easily remedied with cool compresses.
- The skin may also flake a little as the skin cells rejuvenate, which is completely normal.
- Healing is normally uneventful and treatments can be repeated in 4 weeks.
- A series of 3 – 4 treatments yields best results. All skin types can be treated.
