Microneedling Process
-
1. Consultation
We’ll go through your pre-care form you’ve completed prior, discuss your current concerns & desires for your skin (as my clients must be prepped on Environ 3 weeks prior, I will be familiar with your skin and goals). I’ll explain the procedure, this is a great opportunity to ask any unanswered questions.

2. Skin Prep + Numbing
Preparation is key! Not only will your skin be prepped with Environ skincare, I’ll perform a thorough cleanse and sanitisation, followed by topical numbing agent application for ten minutes.

3. Getting stared
Customised serum will be applied to the face, neck and décolletage. Microneedling will begin, starting on the forehead, working down the face, to the neck and finishing on thedécolletage.

4. Hydrate & Calm
Your cooling and hydrating mask will be applied to the face for 10 minutes, this feels like heaven, extremely cooling on a newly hot skin. Whilst your face mask is applied, you’ll receive a scalp massage for that relaxation hit!
Microneedling Healing Process
Your skin will go through a healing phase, this does differ from each individual. Below is an example of healing, you can expect similar affects for follow up sessions performed between 2-8 weeks.

Immediately after
Please be mindful that all skins’ respond differently, factors such as skin health, products, how well your skin is prepped for microneedling, depth of treatment and skin type will affect how your skin responds.
Your skin will feel hot, sensitive and you can expect redness.

12 hours after
