Microneedling

In clinic we educate clients about maintaining good skin health.. We are like the dentist… You brush and floss your teeth daily which is like your am & pm skin care regime. You then have regular appointments through out the year to;

a) see your dentist for a check up which is like your regular Skin Analysis Consultation which can be done every 3- 6 months.

b) see the hygienist to deeply clean & scale your teeth which is the similar to maintenance skin treatments too boost collagen and create glowing healthier skin which can be done 1-3 months.

For example a client could start with a course of Radio Frequency Microneedling such as Morpheus8 and then maintain collagen banks whilst targeting hyperpigmentation or thin dry skin with Meso Skin Boosters and Microneedling. 

Visit our Morpheus8 page for full details on Radio Frequency Microneedling.

N.B. It’s important to understand that not all Radio frequency microneedling devices are made the same, this means that some are significantly better devices than others. We offer the Morpheus8, its not a medical device, its a surgical device which is even better.  To date there is no other device out there that goes up to 4 mm under the jawline & chin. This makes it superior at breaking down fat, contouring the jawline and getting rid of double chins. The needles are gold plated stainless steel which also provides additional antibacterial reassurance.

N.B. All needle heads are one use only, sterile and disposed of in sharps boxes. No clinic should ever give you your needle head to bring back for your next treatment! Needles go blunt over time and they need to be sterile. No manufacturer recommends this! Medical protocol is that all sharps must be disposed of in sharps boxes after one use for obvious health & safety. We open your sealed needle pack in front of you.

If you have any underlying health condition and or are taking any medications other than the contraceptive pill please email info@fijiskinclinic.co.uk to seek advice and treatment suitability before booking.

BEFORE 

• Avoid injectables 4 weeks before treatment
• Stop all forms of topical Vitamin A such as Retinol & prescription skincare, all acid / granular exfoliators 7 days before treatment
• If you are using prescription skincare please seek advice from your practitioner as not all products need to be stopped for 7 days

AFTER

• No Make-up for the rest of the day
• SPF must be applied in the morning and topped up regularly through the day
• Reintroduce Vitamin A / Retinol & prescription Vitamin A,  and all acid / granular exfoliators 5 days post treatment
• If you are using prescription skincare please seek advice from your practitioner to advise how soon you are able to reapply.

We recommend a full skin consultation and photos before Radio Frequency & Microneedling treatments are started. During the skin consultation, treatment areas and areas of concern are established. These areas may vary from a Full Face & Neck, Full Face, Neck, Forehead, Jawline, Half Face and Eye Lift. We can treat as little or as much as you would like!

It really depends on the clients concerns as there are benefits to both which is why we offer them all. See the comparison chart above for a quick glance response. If a client requires skin tightening and pigmentation reduction we would recommend Microneedling with a Meso Depigmentation Skin Booster over Radio Frequency MicroNeedling. If a client was more concerned with their double chin then we would recommend Morpheus8 which is Radio Frequency MicroNeedling. 

RF Microneedling and Microneedling are complete game changers for skin rejuvenation. They creates huge results with little downtime! The production of new collagen and elastin rich tissue tightens skin, reduces acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and fine lines. It improves the overall texture and appearance of your skin too and will allow deeper penetration of your products too.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that has endless clinical trial to prove its effectiveness. It involves pricking the skin with microscopic sterilized needles. The small wounds cause trauma and the body goes into a healing response to produce more new collagen and elastin. This heals the skin and makes skin look younger and healthier. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy as well.  For faster results combine with Meso Skin Boosters & Dermalux Tri-wave MD

The needles create “micro-wounds” which trigger your body’s wound healing processes to heal your micro wounds immediately. Whilst mild skin tightening is experienced within a few days the most dramatic results will not be visible for about four to six weeks post treatment as new collagen and elastin is formed.

The benefits make microneedling well worth the spend, once you try it you’ll be hooked. The treatment boosts collagen and helps to tighten and lift skin on the face. Microneedling are also ideal for treating acne scars, fine lines, and even stretch marks. For faster results combine with Meso Skin Boosters & Dermalux Tri-wave MD

There are benefits to both, it can vary depending on skin concern and if skin is of colour etc.  We always recommend a consultation to discuss.

Microneedling isn’t overly painful at all and requires no numbing cream. We can always numb the area if its a client preference for microneedling or if deeper settings are required.  Numbing is always required for Morpheus8

Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or acids 5-7 days prior to your treatment. Knowing what to expect on the day of your microneedling treatment will make this procedure as comfortable and anxiety-free as possible for you. As with any cosmetic skin treatment, it’s important to look after your skin following a microneedling procedure for best results.

Results will continue for up to one year when using our devices. As with all treatments, we generally recommend a course of treatments 2-4 weeks  apart of a course before going onto a regular maintenance plan or membership.

In the beginning a few treatments may be recommended 2-4 weeks apart. The more consistent your treatments are, the quicker your results will be. For most clients they are able to maintain their results with annual top up maintenance treatments.

Our microneedling treatments are some of the most effective skin-tightening treatments available. As with all treatments and clinics, no-one can or should guarantee permanent results as we can not stop the ageing process. We can only prevent it by slowing it down with maintenance anti ageing treatments.

At Fiji Skin Clinic Birmingham, we offer and specialise in all types of microneedling. Our results are outstanding due to the combination of Meso Skin Boosters and Dermalux Tri-wave MD with our treatments. With these combinations the skin is receiving 2-3 treatments in one to enhance results and accelerate healing.

All our microneedling treatments will lift, firm and tightened the skin but there are some other benefits to consider before a decision is made between Radio Frequency Microneedling & Microneedling. Both treatments tighten skin, minimise open pores, increase collagen & elastin, reduce acne scars, minimise surgical scars and stretch marks, tighten crepey skin whilst reduces fine fines & wrinkles.
