Microneedling in Cheltenham

Microneedling is an advanced, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that supports your skin’s natural repair process. It helps boost collagen and elastin production for fresher, younger-looking skin. Microneedling also targets fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks.

I now combine microneedling with polynucleotides for results comparable to injectable treatments. Paired with an advanced LED system featuring bespoke programmes across more than four wavelengths, this treatment is truly exclusive and tailored to your skin’s needs.

What microneedling can help with

The microneedling treatment is successfully used to:

Treat wrinkles and fine lines.
Refine uneven skin texture.
Firm sagging skin.
Improve the homogeneity of the complexion.
Treat sun-damaged skin.
Reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

How CEREPEN microneedling works

The CEREPEN creates temporary micro-punctures in the stratum corneum under controlled conditions. This forms a controlled skin lesion without damaging the skin, thereby initiating the wound-healing process. This process releases various growth factors, including 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 through the three classical phases of wound healing, showing how microneedling works.

Nanoneedling for lips and under eyes

NEW invisible nanoneedles create channels that help deliver products into delicate areas such as the lips and eyes. Nanoneedling is amazing because it delivers product to the lips and under-eye area, and you feel nothing. It’s a first and totally innovative.

Nanoneedling is a new high-tech skin service that combines advanced innovation with a beautifully gentle touch. Designed to refresh, refine, and elevate the skin’s natural glow, it is especially suited to delicate areas, including the under-eye and lip areas, where precision and care matter most. By creating microscopic surface channels, nanoneedling enhances active serum absorption, helping boost hydration, smooth texture, and soften the appearance of fine lines. The result is skin that looks fresher, plumper, and more luminous, with a treatment experience that feels both refined and restorative.

Add nanoneedles to any skin or facial treatment.

FAQs

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

For best results, we usually recommend a course of 3 treatments, spaced around 1 month apart, followed by occasional maintenance treatments depending on your skin and goals.

Which microneedling option should I choose?

PDRN or polynucleotides are excellent options for ageing skin and for age-prevention. We also offer other microneedling options for pigmentation and other skin concerns. We will assess your skin on the day and advise you on the best option for you, so there is no need to worry.

Is there any downtime after microneedling?

There is very little downtime. Your skin may look pink after treatment and feel slightly tingly. Over the next couple of days this is usually barely noticeable, although you may have some mild sensitivity or a little erythema in places. Mineral makeup is usually fine the next day.

What is the aftercare following microneedling?

For 3 days after treatment, avoid hot treatments, steam rooms, heavy sweating, intense exercise, swimming and saunas. Wear SPF 50 and minimise sun exposure.

Are there any products I should avoid or use?

Avoid retinol for 7 days after treatment and for 1 week before your appointment. For aftercare, use a simple, gentle moisturiser such as La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5, Avène Cicalfate or Cetaphil moisturiser. These are all excellent post-treatment creams.

When can I wear makeup after microneedling?

The next day is usually fine. Mineral foundation or mineral powder is preferred.

Can I go on holiday after?

Yes, but ideally wait 7 to 10 days before going on holiday. Wear a hat and use SPF 50.

Microneedling reviews from Cheltenham clients

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Over the past 15 months, I have had Tixel and microneedling with Exosomes with Sonia. I trust her implicitly. I have seen many facialists over the years, and Sonia is easily one of the best.

There has been a gradual and significant improvement in my skin under her care, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I live an hour and a half away, so she must be good! I feel fortunate to have met somebody who I know will keep on top of any skin concerns and offer real results.

Rebecca in Cheltenham

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 microneedling 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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 my 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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 look. A natural way to improve your skin – highly recommend this treatment with Sonia.

Ann in Cheltenham

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 microneedling, 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.

Everything was explained to me in detail, which made me feel really comfortable and confident about the treatment. Sonia is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and clearly passionate about what she does. I genuinely felt like I was in safe hands throughout the whole experience.
I couldn’t have asked for better care and attention. I’m so happy I chose this place and would highly recommend Sonia to anyone considering these treatments! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the Intraceuticals Oxygen facial with Sonia this week. My skin is looking and feeling amazing. Having regular treatments with Sonia is really showing benefits, not only after the treatment but staying smooth and plump between treatments. Thank you so much, it is really making a difference.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first visit was slightly helpfull, and I think it would have been more beneficial if I hadn't been on a pain blocking medication.
I will certainly return after I have seen the surgeon & pharmacist

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Tixel eye treatment for heavy eye lids and bags under the eyes.  Thought I would try it, to avoid eye surgery.  It stings a little bit but well worth it. Sonia is very knowledgeable and explained everything in a relaxed setting.  I would definitely recommend her.
