MICRONEEDLING Treatment
Stratum Dermatology Clinics are able to offer microneedling treatment through the use of the SkinPen. Microneedling is the use of tiny needles to penetrate through the skin to induce a wound healing reaction. This results in hundreds of microchannels created in the skin which increases the delivery of the specialist product and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. This increased production of natural fibres within the skin means the treatment works very well at treating scars such as for treating acne scarring, stretch marks as well as fine lines and wrinkles, and smoother, firmer, more toned skin.
SkinPen has revolutionised micro skin needling, making it easier, safer and less painful to get maximum results by using skin precision. It produces significantly more microchannels with one pass (98,000 channels per minute).
Microneedling is mostly used on the face and may treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores, but also could be used on the neck, decollete, and scalp. A series of treatments is usually recommended 4-6 weeks apart, although 1-2 sessions works well as a general skin refreshment. It is suitable for all skin types.
This treatment is led by our team of highly qualified dermatology specialist nurses and physicians assistant with many years of cumulative experience in providing treatment to skin patients.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOLLOWING MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?
After the procedure, the skin will be red and flushed, similar in appearance to moderate sunburn. There will also be some skin tightness and mild sensitivity. This will diminish greatly after a few hours and usually within the next 48 hours your skin will be completely healed. After 5 days there is barely any evidence that the procedure has taken place.
Visible signs of rejuvenation are seen after just 6-8 weeks following procedure and continue for up to a year. A course of 3 to 5 sessions at 6-8 week intervals is usually recommended to achieve optimum results; however most will notice skin improvement after just 1 session
IS THERE ANY DOWN TIME FOLLOWING MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?
