Rejuvapen NXT Microneedling

---

A - Although the treatment is safe for all skin types there are certain medical conditions that exclude you from having a treatment. These include; active acne vulgaris, rosacea, active skin infections, raised keloid scars, actinic keratosis and other non-melanoma & melanoma skin cancers, eczema, psoriasis, sebaceous hyperplasia and open wounds. If you suffer from severe cold sores you may wish to take your cold sore medication before each treatment. Your practitioner will discuss with you any health concerns you may have before you commence the treatment.

A - Rejuvapen NXT can be safely and effectively used to target areas of concern on both the face and body.  We can treat the entire face, including the eye area and the nose, the neck, décolletage, or areas on the body.

 A - The whole procedure is normally completed within 60 minutes depending on the required treatment and anatomical site. Your practitioner will explain the treatment, the risks and benefits and will guide you through a full skin consultation before we gain your consent. Before the procedure commences a topical anesthetic (in the form of a cream) is applied to your skin. This numbs your skin and ensures that you are comfortable during the treatment. After the skin is numbed, your practitioner will gently move the Rejuvapen NXT over your skin to puncture the epidermis layers of the skin and create minute sub- cutaneous injuries. These microscopic wounds close within 3-5 minutes, but that's enough to stimulate new collagen deposition which may last for up to a year. You may experience some pain, particularly around the sensitive areas of your face such as around the eyes

 A - Before treatment a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area. The anesthetic cream numbs the skin and makes the treatment almost painless. You may experience some sensitivity, particularly around the eyes. People who experience the treatment say that it feels like their skin is being rubbed with fine sandpaper, others describe the feeling of an electronic toothbrush being moved across your skin.

A - After the procedure your skin will show signs of redness or erythema and will appear similar to moderate sunburn. There may be some slight swelling. The redness and swelling will begin to subside 24-48 hours after the treatment. By day 3 the erythema and swelling subside and the skin takes on a pink colour, there is barely any evidence that the procedure has taken place. During the first 3 days you will also experience some skin tightness, dryness and mild sensitivity to touch on the areas that have been treated. This diminishes greatly following the treatment and over the next 2-3 days. Your practitioner will recommend rescue skincare to help soothe and protect the skin and enhance the results. After treatment we always recommend a sunblock.

 A - Each microneedling course is different, and will depending upon you, the patient. We suggest that a typical course is 1 session every 6 weeks for 4-6 months. You can expect to continue seeing results for up to 6 - 8 months after the last treatment as your skins’ matrix regrows new collagen.  We are happy to discuss the most effective treatment plan to target your skin concerns.

 A - Yes, absolutely!  whilst it is an incredibly effective standalone treatment, microneedling can be combined with a variety of facial treatments, depending on your needs, and we are more than happy to tailor a bespoke package of treatment just for you.  You can combine skin peels, light therapy or even HIFU, for great results.
