Exceed Microneedling

MEDICAL MICRONEEDLING IS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO:

​​

• Normalise the skin structure  

• Minimise fine lines & wrinkles

• Treat acne scarring, in particular, to reduce the depth of scars

​​

OTHER COSMETIC BENEFITS:

​

• Skin regeneration 

• Increase natural collagen formation

• Reduce pore size & improve skin texture

​​

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?

With expert precision, technique and timing, your practitioner will use EXCEED to trigger growth factors for building new collagen. They will create controlled microchannels in the skin which instigate regeneration of skin cells via a natural process of healing. Awakening the fibroblast that lies within the deeper layers of the skin, you will naturally produce new, healthy collagen.

The gentle stimulus provided by medical microneedling is considered far more effective than many other more invasive and expensive skincare treatments. It is a quick and easy technique with little downtime. After a course of treatments your skin is visibly revitalised, rejuvenated, replenished and regenerated.

​​​

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?

Before the microneedling treatment, your face is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. 

The process itself is nearly painless; the needles only penetrate the top layer of the skin plus the speed & depth of penetration can be adjusted by the operator based on your level of comfort, ensuring a great experience plus optimal results.

Immediately after your treatment there will be visible redness on the treatment area. Most inflammation will have disappeared one day after the procedure. Whilst patients should avoid direct sunlight in the first days after a microneedling treatment, it's possible to go back to work immediately.

The EXCEED safety cartridge system is the global first to guarantee a 100% sterile package. Your safety and results are our priority!

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE A MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?

This is very patient specific, such that your skin type and condition will indicate your number & frequency of treatments as determined by your practitioner.

in general, most patients undergo 3-6 treatments at intervals of four to eight weeks. Following this, a maintenance plan will then be created to sustain your results.

Preparing for your Treatment

​​

To get the best results from your needling treatments Aura Beauty advises the following: At least 4 to 6 weeks prior to your needling treatments,

​

• Get in the habit of being diligent with SPF – stops further genetic damage. A physical protection SPF is recommended rather than a chemical based one – chemical sunscreens can cause free radical damage as it neutralizes the UV rays from within the tissue. Physical sunscreens reflect the UV from the surface. I am a fan of the My Sunshine brand available in salon.

​

• Use a high-quality Vitamin A for at least 4 weeks prior – to repair cell damage that has already happened and prep the skin for regenerating. This needs to be a quality Vitamin A prescribed from a Beauty Therapist not something you can just buy off the shelf in a store. Preferably Prologic the brand I work with at Aura Beauty.

​

• Take Essential Fatty Acid Supplements - for cell membranes to hold cytoplasm in, making juicy plump keratinocytes (skin cells) and essential for the acid mantle. Aura Beauty recommends Simka Alpha Omega’s for a quality high DHA dose EFA.

​

• Drink 2 Litres of water everyday for 2 weeks before and after – gives enough fluid in your blood to hydrate the cells so when the stem cells are producing new cells we are achieving big juicy grape like cells not depleted sultana like cells.

​

• Use collagen pre cursers – Vitamin A, C and E in your homecare- 4 weeks before and after to produce the best quality collagen production possible. 

​

Post Treatment

​

Following your treatment please avoid touching your face, we don’t want bacteria to cause infection. You may feel your skin is hot and inflamed please do not try to cool the skin in any way as we want the inflammation stage to happen to release growth factors – they are the Holy Grail of needling, chemical signals that your body releases. They tell your cells what they need to do to fix the damage that’s within your skin.

Simka Bio Cellulose Masks are ideal post needling they have a lovely cooling feel on the skin and add hydration.

​​

During the inflammatory stage day 1-3 the skin may feel sensitive. Care must be taken with homecare to avoid over stimulation.

Avoid during the inflammatory phase: • Retinol • Any acids AHA’s BHA’s including retinoic acid, ascorbic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic and lactic acids.

Within the Prologic range this includes avoiding – Skin intelligence cleanser, Gel Cleanser, Anti- acne Treatment Spray, Vitamin C serum, Skin Recovery Treatment Oil.

​

Perfect Skin Needling Post Care Products:

Pre Cleanse Oil & Cream Cleanser – Gentle cleansing with barrier support

Probiome Probiotic Serum & Hydrating Serum – Light-weight barrier support

Derma Aid Moisturiser – Mid-weight barrier support

Omega 3 Oil – Nourishing and calming

These are recommended to use post treatment and to keep on hand after each needling session as a course of treatments is advised for optimal results.

​

To ensure the best outcomes post treatment, the following steps are recommended:

​

• Avoid touching your face.

• No Suncream the day of treatment - Suncream can be applied the next day and must always be worn to protect the skin.
