WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling treatment uses an electronic needling device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which causes the skin to renew and repair itself naturally and safely through the stimulation of collagen and elastin, vital components of healthy skin. The treatment can be performed on the face and body to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, scarring, acne scarring and stretch marks.

At Halo Aesthetics® we use a device called Exceed which is one of the world's safest and most technologically advanced microneedling devices. Exceed is the first and only double FDA cleared microneedling device for the treatment of both acne scars and facial wrinkles, making it the clear choice for our clinic. During treatment the 6-needle tilting plate delivers up to 150 precise skin penetrations per second without tearing or shearing the skin.

These micro-injuries trigger a process which stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. The Exceed is fully adjustable with variable speed and depth settings which means we can customise the treatment to your exact needs and it can be used on all areas of skin – even the thinnest skin around the eyes.

THE TREATMENT

Firstly, you will have a consultation to ensure that you are suitable for microneedling treatment. During the procedure the area being treated is cleansed and a local anaesthetic cream is applied to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. The Exceed device is then used in smooth, circular motions on the skin until the whole area has been treated.

During the treatment specialist serums are applied to the skin, where appropriate, which are absorbed through the tiny pin-pricks into the dermis where they can deliver active ingredients to address dehydrated, sun-damaged, scarred or hyperpigmented skin.

Each treatment session delivers powerful results with minimal downtime. For best results we recommend a course of 3-6 treatments and a maintenance session once or twice a year.
