Microneedling

The procedure involves the use of a specialised electronic microneedling pen device. At Dr. Jenny Clinic, we utilize the advanced m.pen PRO by Mesoestetic, allowing for precise control over needle depth and treatment intensity, tailored to your specific skin concerns.​

The micro-trauma that is caused then stimulates the skin’s natural healing processes, resulting in enhanced production of collagen and elastin: skin proteins which are vital for skin health, elasticity and strength. The end result is one of skin which is better textured, more even toned, more supple and plump.

The second very important mechanism of action of microneedling is the fact that the micro-channels that are created in the skin allow for direct application and enhanced absorption of topical skin treatments.

These can include:

• Cosmeceutical targeted serums

• Exosomes

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

You will undergo a full medical consultation before proceeding to determine the most suitable treatment regimen for you.

It may be necessary to start you on a pre-treatment, at home skin care routine to better optimise your results if you are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort during the procedure.

The microneedling pen is then gently glided across the skin of the treatment area in combination with either treatment serums or exosomes depending on your treatment plan.

The procedure itself is very tolerable, though you may experience some tightness and warmth to the treatment area after the procedure.

Depending on how your skin is feeling, a cooling treatment mask or a Dermalux LED treatment session is included at the end of your treatment.

For optimal results, 3-5 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart are recommended.

Results are gradual and progressive, with noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone appearing over several weeks as collagen production increases.

Maintenance treatments every 9-12 months can help sustain improvements.​

The post-treatment aftercare recommendations will ensure that your recovery is quick and treatment risks are minimised.

• Mild redness may occur for 24-48 hours.
• Some individuals notice a mild peeling at 3-5 days
• Avoid exercise for 24 hours after treatment
• Avoid excessive heat for 24 hours after treatment
• Avoid active skincare (retinoids, acids) for 3-5 days.
• Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer; avoid active skincare ingredients (e.g. retinoids, exfoliating acids) for at least 5-7 days
• Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect the skin during the healing process: your skin barrier will be disrupted so there is a greater vulnerability to sun-burn and hyper-pigmentation or sub-optimal results
• Avoid applying makeup to the area until the skin has fully healed

You will receive tailored verbal and written aftercare advice during your consultation.
