Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to enhanced skin texture and appearance.
At Oatlands Aesthetics, we use the FDA-approved SkinPen microneedling device. It involves a device that resembles a pen with tiny needles at its tip. When these needles are gently applied to the skin, they create controlled micro-injuries. This encourages the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally – resulting in smoother, brighter, younger and healthier-looking skin.
The body detects the puncture of the needles as small injuries in the skin which triggers a healing process, stimulating natural collagen production. Resulting in improved skin texture and firmness, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne scars.
The speed and depth of the SkinPen are adjusted during treatment to ensure the best outcome for the targeted concerns.
Topical numbing cream is applied for 20-25 mins prior to starting the treatment. This will allow maximum patient comfort and the most effective results.
