DO I NEED TO PREPARE MY SKIN BEFORE TREATMENT?

Before any Microneedling it’s best advised to avoid sun exposure 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
At your first skin consultation we will provide you with a detailed Pre + Post Treatment guideline on how to prep before and aftercare advise.

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING COMPARE TO OTHER SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENTS?

If you compare between Microneedling and Chemical Peel, they both will improve the appearance of your skin. Chemical Peels generally work best on superficial imperfections, while Microneedling penetrates deeper to improve more troublesome issues.
Many people with more scarred skin for example from acne find a combination of Microneedling and Chemical Peel deliver the best results. Microneedling will reach deeper under the skin to promote healing of scarred areas. Once the Microneedling treatments are complete, a Chemical Peel can rejuvenate your skin further, leaving you with clearer, younger-looking skin. At Klynik we have the option of having both treatments combined. Please refer to our pricing for Microneedling with Ad-On’s.

HOW LONG IS THE TREATMENT TIME AND HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I REQUIRE?

Treatments of the face/neck are approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Benefits can be seen and felt after just one treatment, but depending on your skin concern and the health of your skin a course of 3 or 6 sessions is always advisable.

IS IT PAINFUL?

One of the benefits of using Dermapen for Microneedling is the increased comfort compared to older methods of Microneedling, and so you should feel only minimal discomfort, most patients would rate the pain between 2 to 3 out of 10.

WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME AFTER A MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?

There is minimal to no downtime depending on each patient. You will be able to resume your daily life almost straight away. You may notice some redness or mild swelling straight after the treatment, but this should subside within the first 48 hours of the procedure.

WHAT SHOULD I AVOID AFTER TREATMENT?

We will provide you with Pre + Post Treatment information which includes after care advise on the products and activities to avoid for the first couple of days post treatment. Plus information on products to apply if required to maintain a healthy skin through the natural healing process of the skin.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Immediately after treatment, you will notice that your skin looks smoother and more radiant. After a month, you will notice that your skin is significantly tighter. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment. It takes roughly this long for your body to create new, strong, healthy collagen. The Dermapen treatment continues to build collagen and elastin for up to 2 years.

IS A CONSULTATION REQUIRED?

Not necessarily, if you had Microneedling before then you can book you treatment straight away. But if you are unsure which treatment is suitable for you then you can book a consultation with our Aesthetic Practitioners. During your consultation they will be able to answer any questions you may have about your skin condition and give you personalised advice, based on the assessment of your skin. If your skin concern is treatable your therapist will recommend the number of treatments required.
