Activate your body’s natural skin-healing power 

Medial Micro-needling is an effective and low risk way to stimulate new collagen development in the skin. It can help with fine lines & wrinkles and helps to tighten the skin and improve its texture.

During the procedure small microscopic channels are created by the needles in your skin. This simple procedure activates your body’s natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier looking and more youthful appearance. With this procedure we are able to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and pigmentation. Tone and texture is improved and the skin will be more radiant.

In clinic Dr Ward uses the SkinPen device. It is an FDA, high quality micro-needling device that is made in the USA and is used by leading healthcare providers. It is surrounded by a custom sheath that prevents cross contamination and uses single use sterile needle cartridges built with safety in mind.

SkinPen is clinically evidenced and backed by numerous scientific papers. It’s a precise needling device and is thought to cause less collateral damage than traditional dermarollers. In clinical trials 94% of SkinPen patients reported an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles after 1 month, 80% noticed an improvement in scars after 1 month and 90% of patients said they would recommend it to family and friends.

The needle depth can be adjusted by Dr Ward depending on what the treatment outcome or goal is. Most people will find that anything up to 0.5mm is tolerable without any numbing cream. Micro-needling at deeper depths (up to 1-2mm) may require the topical application of numbing cream 30 minutes prior to your treatment.

Your skin will look red and will be a little sensitive to touch for a few hours after your procedure. You may get some very tiny pinpoint bruises that will last only 24-48 hours. You should avoid any makeup or skin creams for at least 12 hours after treatment. Makeup can be worn the next day.
