Micro needling IN SHREWSBURY

Microneedling, or medical skin needling is a treatment used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and is also very effective in the treatment of acne scarring. The treatment is commonly used on the face, hands, neck and decolletage to reduce scarring, stretch marks and fine wrinkles such as crows feet.

The treatment works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production by puncturing the skin with lots of tiny needles, which creates wounds in the dermis which induces the release of growth factors, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This damage to do the dermis encourages the body to produce more collagen and elastin to repair itself, making the skin smoother, plumper and more youthful.

WHAT DOES MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT DO?

Microneedling is mostly used on the face and may treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores, but also could be used on the neck, décolleté, and scalp.

Increased production of natural fibres within the skin means the treatment works very well at treating scars such as post acne scarring, stretch marks as well as fine lines and wrinkles, and smoother, firmer, more toned skin.

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 physician’s assistant with many years of cumulative experience in providing treatment to skin patients.

SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling treatment at St Michael’s Clinic is an effective and safe way to encourage the skin’s natural rejuvenation process. The treatment harnesses the body’s ability to heal itself, stimulating collagen and elastin production—key components in preserving a youthful look. A precise and precise device, it creates thousands of micro-injuries that the body identifies as wounds, launching the wound healing response, including the creation of remodelled and revitalised skin for a healthier look. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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

HEAR FROM OUR PATIENTS

I honestly couldn’t recommend Amber enough! After just ONE session, I noticed such a dramatic difference in my hair growth, and I genuinely couldn’t believe the results. Having thick, dark hair, I’ve tried different laser treatments before, but this is by far the best laser I’ve experienced. The difference has been incredible, even after just one session. Beyond the results, Amber is such a warm and welcoming person who makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. She’s genuinely helped restore my confidence, and I can’t thank her enough. So happy I found her! ❤️

Always personal, expert, empathic and highly professional. I had multiple facial cryotherapy and now look very contagious to the public. However, the treatment of this kind is most important, having had one BCC and concerned not to have another one that’s regular visits to this clinic of high importance. Thank you.
