What is Medical Microneedling?

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime and works by creating tiny punctures to the skin using a sterile needle cartridge. These sterile cartridges are 1 person use and are disposed of in a clinical waste sharps bin after every use.

The microneedling pen device creates tiny punctures to the skin, and is thought to trigger the bodies natural healing response, in tern creating new collagen and improved elasticity production, overtime rejuvenating the appearance and overall skin health.

Will Microneedling work immediately?

At your free face-face consultation your aesthetics nurse will personally tailor a treatment plan to you after a in-depth discussion with you. Its important to note that Microneedling is not a one off treatment as results come after multiple sessions with a long term treatment plan. Visible results will not be seen on the day of your first treatment; with results requiring consistency over time.

If you are new to Microneedling treatment, you can expect a course of 3 treatments which are spaced 4 weeks apart. Once the course of 3 treatments are completed, a maintenance treatment is recommended every 6 - 12 weeks.

Collagen & elastin

Collagen and elastin are 2 proteins that we are born with and ultimately we need for good skin quality and firmness. As we age it is thought that collagen decreases by 1 - 2% per year from the age of 25. A loss of collagen can lead to sagging of the skin, wrinkles and fine lines.

The secret to microneedling is it can treat anywhere on the skin. At Cove Coast Cosmetics our most commonly treated areas include:

1. Face
