MEDICAL MICRONEEDLING

SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device that uses precise, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. At skin@voguedental, we trust SkinPen because it’s FDA-approved, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and consistency in results. The device’s adjustable needle depths make it suitable for treating a wide range of skin concerns, from fine lines and acne scars to hyperpigmentation. SkinPen’s state-of-the-art technology is designed for maximum comfort and minimal downtime, making it the ideal choice for our clients seeking transformative skin improvements.

Medical microneedling works by creating micro-channels in the skin using tiny, sterile needles. These controlled injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, leading to collagen and elastin production. This process helps to smooth fine lines, even out skin texture, and reduce scarring. Additionally, these micro-channels allow for deeper absorption of topical serums or growth factors, enhancing hydration and promoting skin regeneration. As a result, microneedling effectively improves the overall tone, texture, and firmness of the skin over time.

Medical microneedling is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained professional. The procedure is minimally invasive and uses sterile equipment to avoid infection risks. At our clinic in Kent, we ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety during every treatment.

Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, or slight irritation for up to 24-48 hours post-treatment. In less common cases, patients may experience bruising or dryness, but these effects are temporary. Infection is highly unlikely as the procedure uses sterile needles, and we provide clear aftercare instructions to avoid complications.

Results from medical microneedling develop gradually as the skin’s healing process unfolds. Initial improvements in texture and radiance may be visible within 1-2 weeks, with full results typically appearing 4-6 weeks after treatment as collagen production increases. Depending on your skin concerns, a series of treatments (usually 3-6 sessions) may be recommended for optimal results. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on individual factors like skin type and lifestyle. For maintenance, you may opt for annual or biannual treatments to keep your skin looking youthful and rejuvenated.

At our Chislehurst clinic, all procedures take an individualised approach. The cost of medical microneedling can start from £250.00.
