Thank you for booking your first treatment for a Microneedling treatment with Brigstock Skin & Laser Centre.

It is an amazing procedure and to ensure that we can do everything to help you achieve maximum results with minimum reactions it is important to prep your skin properly.

Microneedling is a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally, creating a smoother, brighter, healthier and younger-looking complexion.

How it works
Microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy. The tool used in this procedure is a roller is made up of a small, solid wheel attached to a little stick that propels it backwards and forwards across your face in small sections. The roller is covered with hundreds of minuscule ‘micro-medical’ needles that penetrate the skin, creating lots of tiny micro injuries. Your skin responds by producing extra collagen to ‘heal’ the punctures, and that’s what plumps up the skin again and enhances the natural blood supply – so you get a natural ‘glow’. Depressed acne scars, wrinkles, skin texture and tightness are all improved as a result.

Who shouldn’t have the treatment?

• Have used Roaccutane (retinoic acid) within the last 3 months.
• Have open wounds, cuts or abrasions to the skin.
• Have had radiation treatment within the last year.
• Have a current outbreak of herpes simplex (cold sores) or any other infection or chronic skin condition in the area to be treated.
• Have areas of the skin that are numb or lack sensation. Are pregnant or breast feeding
• Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scars or poor wound healing.

Microneedling treatment

Microneedling can be effective in treating the following dermatological conditions:

• Dull and Sagging skin
• Acne Scars
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Pigmentation and Sun Damage
• Enlarged Pores
• Ability to absorb products

In order to achieve the best results possible, we would like to provide you with some advice and some things to remember.

Before the treatment

• Stop all applications 2 days prior to the treatment day.
• Use sunscreen regularly before the start of the treatment.
• If you are on any kind of medication, share all details with the doctor performing the procedure.

On the day of treatment

• Do not wear any make-up on the day of treatment.
• A microneedling procedure can sometimes have some very short-term after-effects, so don’t be alarmed if you experience redness or irritation of skin for 1-2 days after treatment.

The Procedure

• A local anaesthetic is applied on the skin to make the treatment comfortable.
• The skin roller is then passed over the treatment area multiple times.
• Skin needling can be used to improve the above skin conditions with less risk of skin pigment changes, especially with olive/darker skin types that commonly occur with laser treatment.
• Usually 2-5 sessions are required for the optimal result.
