We offer the microneedling treatment at our Cheltenham skin clinic. Microneedling is an effective, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment which assists your skin’s natural ability to repair itself. Thus, it is a natural way to boost the production of collagen and elastin for younger-looking skin. Microneedling also targets fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks.
The microneedling treatment creates temporary small, microscopic channels, activating the body’s natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin, so skin returns to a healthier looking and youthful appearance. It also aids absorption of luxury mesotherapy serums that will be applied during treatment. An experienced practitioner delivers our microneedling service.
How Does It Work?
The CEREPEN creates temporary micro punctures in the stratum corneum in a controlled manner. This forms a controlled skin lesion without actually damaging the skin, which then starts the wound healing process. This process releases various growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor alpha and beta, connective tissue-activating protein, connective tissue growth factor and fibroblast growth factor. The micro-channels heal according to the three classical phases of wound healing and illustrate how microneedling works.
Benefits of Microneedling
- All natural – no heat, chemicals or invasive injections
- Minimal downtime
- All skin tones, all year round
- Quick and easy
- Clinical studies have showed up to 400% increase in collagen over 12 months – skin will continue to improve post-treatment.
Issues Helped
A microneedling treatment at our Cheltenham Clinic may help with issues such as:
- Acne
- Hair loss or alopecia
- Hyperpigmentation: Basically dark spots or patches on your skin.
- Large pores on your skin
- Improving your skin elasticity
- Scars on your skin
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Microneedling is cheaper than laser treatments, and also may work better for people with darker skin tones. The treatment doesn’t involve heat the way laser treatments do. Thus, it doesn’t affect your skin’s pigmentation, or colour.
Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m so glad I found Sonia! She really knows her stuff and I feel very safe in her hands. After reading so many mixed reviews of various treatments and being left a bit confused. It was a relief to find someone that gives really honest advice that I trust. I’ve had several radio-frequency and micro-needling treatments now and my face is looking so much tighter and younger. It’s definitely not a quick fix, but my patience has definitely paid off! J in Gloucestershire.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I always let Sonia advise me on which treatment to have for my skin. This time I had a bespoke facial. Sonia advised microdermabrasion, a gentle facial peel, and I also had Micro-needling, which I wanted done. This was in conjunction with a serum to help plump and moisturise my skin, followed by red light treatment. My skin is looking bright, hydrated, and glowing. I am delighted with the results. Eliza in Cheltenham.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Being a middle-aged woman, I thought I would have to accept my ageing skin – including pigmentation, scarring, redness and wrinkles. After one treatment I can already see a difference – skin is plumper, more youthful looking and has a healthy glow – and the icing on the cake is that I am getting compliments about how young I am looking. A natural way to improve your skin – highly recommend this treatment with Sonia. – Ann in Cheltenham.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience so far. I had the microneedling with exosomes, which was a tad painful, but overall I am healing well. I also did tixel for eyes and am yet to see the results, but it will take a few sessions. I am 40 years old and look forward to the results! Caroline
