Are microneedling results permanent?
Microneedling isn’t a permanent solution because the skin is always changing, but depending on the skin issues you have, multiple treatments can be performed to achieve the desired result.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling isn’t overly painful and the use of a topical anaesthetic will help to manage any discomfort.
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling works by making small punctures in the skin using tiny needles. The micro channels heal themselves, and this process produces new collagen and elastin which creates fresh new skin with an even texture and tone.
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
The number of treatments you need will be based on your skin concerns. As a guide, if you have tired and dull skin, one treatment would be effective in restoring brightness. But if you have deep acne scarring, multiple treatments will be required to see results.

What happens during a microneedling treatment?
Following your consultation, your aesthetician will cleanse the area to be treated. Using the EDS Dermastamp your aesthetician will start the microneedling technique combined with the soliton chosen depending on what skin condition being treated. Microneedling is then performed again following the same path, but in different directions. Post treatment, your aesthetician will apply a mask to soothe, repair and decongest the skin.
Where can microneedling be used?
The microneedling treatment can be used across all areas of the face including the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and under eye area.
Are there any side effects?
Following your microneedling treatment, you experience some redness, tenderness to the skin and flaking which can last up to 72 hours, but will subside after this. We recommend using sun protection following your treatment and do not exfoliate as this may irritate the skin.
Can I go back to normal activity following treatment?
After treatment no make-up should be worn for the first 48 hours. For the first 14 days, you should avoid using any hair removal products, waxing, using sunbeds, swimming or self-tan products.
