Black Diamond Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling is a safe and effective skin-rejuvenating treatment for all skin types. Microscopic needles are used to penetrate the skin at different depths, which ‘wakes up’ the skin and stimulates the skin’s natural healing mechanism. This healing response leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, helping to restore the skin’s firmness, smoothness, and elasticity. For this reason the treatment is sometimes called ‘collagen induction therapy’, and as collagen levels decrease by about 1% a year from the age of 25 onwards, it is a popular choice for anyone concerned about skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling has the following benefits:
- Induce collagen and elastin production.
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Firm and tighten loose skin, including the neck.
- Improve the skin texture and tone, leaving it smooth and even.
- Improve skin elasticity.
- Plump and re-thicken thin skin.
- Improve the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Improve the appearance of scars (e.g. from acne, surgery, and chickenpox).
- Reduce the appearance of age spots, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
- Enhance the skin’s ability to absorb products.
- Brighten dull and lifeless complexions.
As the needle depth is relatively superficial, the procedure itself isn’t painful, although some find it a little uncomfortable around the lip and on bonier areas like the forehead. Blood spots (if any) are usually few and far between, and those that do occur are tiny (pin-prick size) and quick to heal (typically within seconds).
All microneedling treatments include a thorough consultation to determine the suitable depth of needling.
Our microneedles are sterilised with gamma irradiation, and a new one is used for each client.
As microneedling works by stimulating a natural mechanism of the skin – its effects being produced entirely by your body’s own natural processes - the improvements are gradual and accumulative. Results are typically seen 2 to 3 weeks after the first treatment, with the skin continuing to improve for up to 12 weeks after.
For best results a minimum course of 3-6 sessions (one a month) is needed, although just one or two treatments are often sufficient for younger skins. Once this initial course is completed, results are maintained by a top-up treatment every 3 to 5 months, depending upon your skin’s age and condition. However, those who are particularly concerned about visible signs of ageing may have the treatment every 4-6 weeks if desired.
