At The Clinic Cheshire, we offer an advanced medical microneedling treatment that can help you achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Medical microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the natural healing response of your skin.
This treatment involves using a Skin Pen, a device equipped with fine, sterile needles, to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
Please note, all information included above and on this page is general advice and may vary depending on personal circumstances. Your exact treatment plan and options will be discussed during your consultation.
During a medical microneedling session in our Cheshire clinic, one of our skilled clinicians will gently use the Skin Pen device on targeted areas of your skin, whether it be the face, neck or body. As the needles penetrate the skin, they create microscopic channels that activate your skin’s natural repair mechanism.
This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and a more even complexion.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for a wide range of skin concerns. The benefits of this treatment include:
Topical numbing cream will be applied pre-treatment. Notify us of any medication allergies. Microneedling cannot be done while pregnant or breastfeeding.
The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling, and appearances may be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours, but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising, which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases.
You’ll need to:
Avoid the following:
You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red, shiny skin; there may be pus formation; and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.
Results can vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of the skin concern being addressed and the body’s natural healing process.
However, most patients notice an improvement in their skin’s texture and appearance within a few weeks after the initial treatment. Continued collagen production occurs over several months, leading to further enhancement.
Generally, results can last for several months to a year or more. However, to maintain optimal results, a series of microneedling treatments is often recommended. Here at The Clinic Cheshire, we will provide you with a personalised treatment plan to help achieve the desired outcome and provide guidance on maintenance sessions for long-lasting benefits.
Side effects of polynucleotide treatments are generally minimal, however patients may experience mild redness or swelling, which usually subside within a few days. You will also experience small papules where the polynucleotides have been injected that may last up to 72 hours. Our experienced aesthetic professionals will guide you through the recovery process.
If you have any additional questions about this treatment, please don’t hesitate to give our friendly team a call in or book a consultation in Cheshire. We can provide a personalised treatment plan, tailored to your skin and desired outcomes.
While patients can notice results immediately after their polynucleotide treatment, your specific goals may require additional treatments, or you may just require a top-up every 12 to 18 months. For example, for a patient with dark undereyes, they may require 3 to 4 treatments before their goals are met, then they will only require a top-up every year. Our team will be able to customise a treatment plan for you so you can reach your desired results in the ideal and safe timeline.
While polynucleotide injections are a perfect natural option for anti-aging, there are several treatments we would recommend alongside them, such as Zaffiro, which works by naturally tightening the skin and inducing collagen production, or microneedling, which works by naturally reducing the appearance of fine lines, scars, and wrinkles.
We also offer anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers at our Cheshire clinic that are quick and effective and provide immediate results.
As we age, our collagen production naturally declines, which in turn affects our skin elasticity. This can result in darker circles, dull skin, fine lines and wrinkles, among other things. As polynucleotides are essentially a way to stimulate collagen among hydrating, healing and repairing dead cells, we are keeping our skin tight and maintaining our youthful appearance. It’s one of many of our anti-aging treatments that work in delaying the inevitable as naturally as possible.
If you have any additional questions about this treatment, please don’t hesitate to give our friendly team a call or book a consultation and we can answer your questions when we see you.
