Addressing skin imperfections with microneedling at our skin clinic

Microneedling is still a relatively new procedure in dermatology, first developed in 1994 it quickly established itself as a positive method of restoring youthfulness, addressing scarring and improving the look of the skin. Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy and here at our skin clinic Surrey you can find out about microneedling to help improve your skin and boost your self-confidence and self-esteem.

It works by creating tiny holes in the skin and initiates the process of wound healing, which can generate growth factors in the skin and boost the development of collagen. This is why it is known as collagen induction. It also promotes the formation of new blood vessels to help the healing process and, therefore, it improves the look and health of your skin. Microneedling is excellent for scars such as acne scars and stretch marks and it is used for anti-ageing and helping to disguise fine lines and wrinkles. By creating little holes in the skin it promotes the efficient delivery of topical ingredients like antioxidants and here at our skin clinic Surrey we offer a range of different facials that you can have to help improve your skin further.

At the Skin Studio, we offer a microneedling treatment course of 6 sessions, spread out over 2 to 4 week intervals to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles and scars. It is an excellent treatment for skin rejuvenation. Fine lines and wrinkles occur as a result of many different reasons which include sun exposure, as well as the natural ageing process. A series of 6 treatments helps you reduce wrinkles and fine lines and assists to restore a youthful appearance. We can also help improve the look of stretch marks with microneedling procedures. Stretch marks occur as a result of thinning in the deeper layers of the skin or atrophy of the skin, therefore, they are a type of scarring which is difficult to correct with the use of oils and creams. Microneedling can help improve stretch marks and also increases the efficacy of the oils and creams, where they are able to get deeper into your skin for better results.

How is microneedling carried out?

Firstly the area of skin will be washed and cleansed to prevent makeup particles, bacteria or any pathogens getting into the deeper layer of your skin. By creating a wound in the skin there is a potential for infection, although this is very low with microneedling. A topical anaesthetic will be applied to your skin so that you cannot feel the needles. A hyaluronic acid gel can also be applied to the face before using the device to make it easier for it to be rolled over your skin smoothly. The depth of the needles will be chosen according to the area being treated and the factors affecting your skin. The device is then rolled over the area to create tiny holes in your skin. Once the procedure is complete you may experience some redness or slight inflammation, however, this should disappear within the next couple of days. Sometimes a single microneedling session is sufficient, but at our skin clinic Surreywe also offer a course of 6 treatments to help boost skin health.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a popular choice of skin treatment here at our skin clinic Surrey.  Microneedling is suitable for most skin types in those who want to maintain beautiful, young skin and it is also suitable for those who are affected by scarring including stretch marks and acne scars. It can be used to address the signs of ageing including fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. It is also useful for helping to rehydrate dry skin. Most people can benefit from microneedling. It works by causing an injury to the skin and stimulating the body to heal itself, boosting the formation of collagen. Collagen is a key component of your skin. Collagen production reduces with time which leads to the signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles and dryness. We will use our microneedling device which has mini tiny needles that are used to puncture the skin. We can adjust how deep we want the needles to puncture your skin and by rolling the device over your skin we will puncture the dermis hundreds of times. According to your requirements we adjust the depth of the punctures allowing us to to control how aggressive we need the treatment to be. We can apply anaesthetic cream on your skin beforehand to minimise discomfort.

How many sessions?

One of the key advantages of microneedling is that there is very little downtime with it. After the procedure your face is covered in tiny holes so you cannot put on a full face of makeup. You may notice some redness, however, the next morning your skin should be back to normal. With microneedling you can carry out anything between 1 to 6 sessions. One session is suitable for those who are trying to maintain their healthy skin, whilst those with issues affecting their skin such as stretch marks and acne scars can have a full course of 6 sessions for optimal results. If you are interested in microneedling or any of the other skin treatments that we have to offer then contact us at our skin clinic Surrey today and let us book an appointment for you.

Microneedling for anti-ageing and acne scarring

Many people are looking for anti-ageing treatments to help reduce the signs of time such as fine lines and wrinkles. Others are tackling acne scarring which can affect the way they feel about their skin. Here at the Skin Studio UK we recommend microneedling at our skin clinic Surrey. Microneedling Is a popular choice of skin treatment at our skin clinic Surrey and works to help reduce the signs of ageing and also to tackle issues such as acne scars. Microneedling is carried out under sterile conditions and it works using the impact of a needle on the skin and actually piercing the skin down to the level of the dermis to trigger a series of events which mimic the natural skin repair cycle. By causing microbleeds in the upper part of the dermis by needling the skin, this releases growth factors and helps promote the formation of collagen and so it is also known as collagen induction therapy. Collagen is a key component of the skin and plays a role in strengthening the skin as well as in elasticity and hydration. As we age our body produces less collagen which leads to the formation of wrinkles and microneedling works to boost collagen production and in doing so, reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

If you are suffering from acne scarring then you may know that this is a type of injury that leads to an indentation of the skin. By promoting the formation of collagen, microneedling helps lift up those indentations and reduces the appearance of the scars. Microneedling also improves the skin elasticity and it can have a firming effect on sagging skin. Many of our patients also report a significant improvement in the appearance of pores which helps improve the appearance of your skin further.

A sterile and effectual procedure for everyone

Microneedling is a safe procedure in terms of there being a low risk of infection and it is also efficacious for all skin tones, some of which can be troubled by complications like pigmentation. Microneedling is suitable for almost every skin type. It has very little downtime; for the first 48 hours your skin may appear slightly red or sunburnt, symptoms which will subside by themselves. It is a treatment that is easy to fit into your busy lifestyle, whilst other skin treatments can take a week or even two weeks to recover from. Overall, microneedling is a versatile, quick and convenient choice of skin treatment available here at our skin clinic Surrey, which is able to give great anti-ageing benefits and help you achieve a fresh and youthful appearance.

It is important that alongside microneedling you maintain a regular skincare regime, using a good sunscreen and skin essential ingredients such as vitamin A and vitamin C for optimal results.

Advantages of having regular facials from our skin clinic

If you are like most people who want to keep their skin looking at its best for as long as possible, you may have considered approaching a professional clinic or spa to have a facial performed.

However, if you are someone who takes good care of their skin at home by drinking lots of water, exfoliating and moisturising, you may not consider having a facial performed in a clinic to be of any additional benefit, and may see it as a waste of time. This of course is not the case and by having facials performed regularly, you will actually notice some real advantages for your skin.

At the Skin Studio UK, our skin clinic Surrey is always happy to offer facials to our clients who may be suffering from dry skin, blotchy skin or even skin that is exceedingly sensitive. We can cater to all skin types and age groups and can guarantee that when you leave our clinic, your skin will be glowing.

So, what are some of the advantages of coming to the skin clinic Surrey for a facial that you simply would not be able to get at home? Read on to find out.

Reduces stress

A key benefit of coming to the skin clinic Surrey to have a facial performed is that it reduces stress. Laying back and having our team massage your skin gently, and being surrounded by pleasant smells will bring even the tensest people into a state of relaxation. Regular facials and massages activate the nervous system, by stimulating pressure points in the face and neck, this is beneficial to reduce anxiety and can lift your mood.

Deep cleansing

When you exfoliate at home, you are removing some of the surface dirt, but a facial removes dirt that is at a deeper level and cleans the pores, exfoliates the skin and of course, removes dead skin. This can help to create a glowing appearance and will get rid of any grey undertone that you may have on your face.

Slows the appearance of wrinkles

A facial involves a deep massage of the skin; this increases blood flow which in turn, increases the production of collagen. And as we all know, collagen is a great way to reduce or slow the appearance of wrinkles. This is especially important around the eyes, where the skin is at its thinnest, but we can target our facials to alleviate any areas of wrinkles that you may be concerned about.

Eliminate bags

The modern world is stressful and the majority of people are not getting enough sleep. Or if they are, daily dehydrators such as traffic, caffeine and not drinking enough water can worsen the appearance of bags under the eyes. Facials help to reduce inflammation around the eyes and actually tighten the skin, so it is less likely to droop or sag. This will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and the added circulation will eliminate the appearance of dark circles too.

Help with toning

If you have excessive levels of dead skin, then you may find that moisturisers and toners are not enough. While a facial can help with moisturising and toning in the short term, in the long term, the removal of the dead skin cells also allows these products to penetrate the skin and have a better benefit overall.

FAQs about facials answered by our skin clinic

When it comes to maintaining the health of your facial skin, it is important to wash, exfoliate, tone and moisturise. But for most people, especially those who are older, having facials performed regularly means that their skin appears smoother, firmer and also has fewer wrinkles.

You may have heard of facials and you may simply associate them with having cucumbers placed over your eyes and wearing a face mask. However, this is a very simplified version of this procedure and depending on what you are looking for from your facial, you may be offered a different option.

At the Skin Studio UK, we are exceedingly proud of the facials that we can offer to our patients and our skin clinic Surrey will be able to help you get the hydrated, evenly toned and youthful-looking skin that you want. We will also ensure that those who have sensitive skin will have the appropriate moisturisers applied to prevent any irritation or redness.

If this is the first time you are considering having a facial, then it's likely you will have some questions for our skin clinic Surrey and here, we intend to answer some of the most common questions that we receive about this popular skin treatment.

What is a facial?

When you come to our skin clinic Surrey, the first thing we will do is determine the condition of your skin. From this, we will then create a treatment plan to reduce dehydration, wrinkles or roughness. A basic facial will involve steaming, soft brushes and hot towels, which will gently cleanse the skin and will remove dirt from the deepest layers. The skin will then be toned and heavily moisturised. Then we will make recommendations for your skincare routine to prevent a recurrence.

How many times should one be done for the best effects?

It is usually best for those who have mature or very sensitive skin to have a facial at least once a month to obtain the best results. If you are new to having facials altogether, the frequency may be higher and you may need to have a minimum of two facials a week, depending on your age, your skin type, the sun exposure and the overall health and hydration of your skin.

I’ve read they can cause acne; is this true?

It is, unfortunately, true that facials can cause acne, but rather than it being a result of the treatment itself, it is usually because the skin is exhausted and is therefore unable to create spots or blemishes to remove dirt. By having a facial, the skin is exhilarated and is then able to get rid of oils and dirt, which may create temporary acne.

I have sensitive skin; is this an issue?

Not at all! Many of the clients we see have sensitive skin and we can adjust our facial routine to ensure that even the most sensitive skin is cleansed thoroughly and receives the full benefits of the procedure.

Do the facials you offer hurt?

Some facials may be slightly uncomfortable, however, the ones that we offer are not. If you are somebody who likes to be pampered and will not have any opposition to harder levels of massage, then our facials will not be painful. If you are a bit more sensitive, tell us and we can tailor the requirements of your care to ensure that we employ a lighter touch.

Benefits of body exfoliation at our skin clinic

With summer just around the corner, or already here in some parts of the UK, many people are looking for ways to ensure that their entire body glows when they hit the beach.

Of course, while maintaining a good sleep schedule and drinking water can be helpful, as you age it can be harder to maintain glowing soft skin. And if you have exceedingly sensitive skin, you may not be able to smother it in products as this can cause irritation.

Luckily, there is a solution!

At the Skin Studio UK, our skin clinic Surrey is able to offer full body exfoliation, which is in essence an extension of an exfoliating face scrub, but with a few extra ingredients added which are beneficial to the skin. This procedure is painless, affordable and offers glowing skin, which will turn heads at the beach and boost your self-esteem.

In the following article, our team at our skin clinic Surrey highlight 5 core reasons why it can be beneficial to undertake a full body exfoliation, even if it's not related to summer.

Softer skin

Who doesn't want to have softer skin? At the skin clinic Surrey, all of our procedures aim to create the softest skin possible for our clients. Dry skin is a common reason why people may have rough or textured skin and while you may think that exfoliators would worsen this issue, with the added moisturisers we can ensure that when you come to us for full-body exfoliation, you'll be left with softer skin.

Anti-ageing

The process of exfoliator that we use encourages the production of collagen under the skin through massage. After all, exfoliation is about rubbing a grained product onto your skin gently in circular motions, which not only encourages blood flow to the area but also creates collagen under the skin. This is anti-ageing and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles instantly.

Better moisturisation

It is a common feature of people who have dry bumpy skin that they are unable to use moisturisers and toners correctly. This is simply because there is an accumulation of dead skin, which makes it impossible for even the strongest moisturisers to penetrate. By undertaking full body exfoliation, you will be removing the dead skin cells with our team, and this will allow better moisturisation overall when you apply any cream-based product.

Minimises keratosis pilaris

Keratosis pilaris is in essence when there is raised skin around a hair follicle, which means that when you shave your legs, it can look visually very rough. This is a sign that you need to have exfoliation performed to prevent this inflammatory response to shaving. This issue does not only occur in areas that are shaved and is commonly seen on the upper arms of those who do not exfoliate.

It’s affordable!

At our studio, we pride ourselves on being able to offer affordable procedures to our patients and while you may assume that things like facials or full body exfoliation are excessively pricey, we always aim to make them affordable and will ensure that you receive the highest quality of care.

Healthy and beautiful skin at the Skin Studio

The natural ageing process has a direct impact on the appearance of your skin. The skin becomes less hydrated, less radiant, loses its plumpness and elasticity and you may notice the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyperpigmentation and other factors which can affect the appearance of your skin can make you unhappy about the way you feel when you look in the mirror. This can affect your self-confidence and your self-esteem. This has a detrimental impact on your mental wellbeing and a negative effect on your overall wellbeing too.

The importance of collagen for healthy skin

Collagen is one of the main building blocks of your skin. It is important in keeping your skin soft, smooth, strong and hydrated and gives the skin its elasticity and a plump and youthful appearance. From around the age of 30 the amount of collagen in your body decreases and after a few years this results in the common signs of ageing. Your skin becomes more dry and you notice the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, eyes and forehead. Here at our studio our skin treatments are designed to boost collagen production to help you restore your youthful appearance. Many treatments are designed to delay the ageing process. Speak to our experts at the skin clinic Surrey to find out which skin treatments are suitable for you.

Skin treatments at the Skin Studio

Microneedling is a popular skin treatment here at our skin clinic Surrey. Small needles are rolled across the surface of the skin to help stimulate collagen production and reveal a new layer of healthy skin. We also have a range of advanced facials which are designed to stimulate collagen production. This includes the Mesolift treatment, radio frequency treatment, high frequency treatment and light therapy treatment which are all used to improve the health and appearance of your skin.

Mesolift to improve skin appearance

Here at our skin clinic Surrey, mesotherapy is a popular treatment option for skin rejuvenation. Speak to us about Mesolift. Mesolift is a non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment course designed to improve the appearance of your skin. It is designed to help prevent the signs of ageing and it can also be used to address mild or moderate signs of ageing. It is easy to perform and it can be used for your face, especially on your cheeks, chin and forehead. Mesolift can also be used for your neck and it is only slightly uncomfortable with limited side effects. It is suitable for most clients other than those with an allergy to the ingredients or underlying diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, bleeding abnormalities or other complications. Our specialist will discuss this with you prior to undergoing the procedure.

How does Mesolift work?

Mesolift works by injecting a cocktail of nutrients into the target area of your skin to help improve texture, density, hydration and brightness. The cocktail is made up of hyaluronic acid, amino acids, antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals which are injected into the mesoderm which is the middle layer of the skin. These ingredients provide the skin with the nutrition it needs to help regenerate itself and this has an anti-ageing effect on your face and neck. Your skin will appear smooth, toned and lifted and it will feel more hydrated and softer to touch. Visit us at the practice today and book an appointment so that we can carry out an assessment of your face and skin. This way we can determine whether or not Mesolift is the best option to address the aesthetic requirements of your appearance and find out about the other treatment options that are available to help you improve the appearance of your skin.

Restoring youthfulness with microneedling at our skin clinic in Surrey

If you are looking to improve the appearance of your skin then you need to speak to us at the Skin Studio our skin clinic Surrey. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your skin then it is more than likely that this will affect the way you feel about yourself in general. Here at our clinic in Surrey we can help you address the issues that are affecting your skin with bespoke skin treatments, that not only improve the appearance of your skin, but also improve your skin health for a boost in self-confidence, overall vitality and wellbeing. You can visit our website and find out about the different treatment options that are available at our skin clinic Surrey. You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram, email us or give us a call to discuss the factors that are affecting your skin and let us put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a popular treatment option here at our skin clinic Surrey. A natural part of the ageing process is that our skin becomes thinner, it loses its elasticity and the skin is no longer as plump or smooth as it may have been when we were younger. Most people find that fine lines and wrinkles appear around the mouth, eyes and forehead which may affect the way you feel about your skin. If you would like to restore the youthfulness in your face then you need to speak to our specialist clinic and find out more about microneedling for yourself. Microneedling works using hundreds of tiny little needles which are rolled over your face in various different directions to stimulate or wake up the natural collagen in your skin. As part of the ageing process your body starts producing less collagen which is responsible for the formation of wrinkles and the other signs of ageing skin. By stimulating the collagen, microneedling can help restore the signs of youthfulness.

The procedure itself takes only 45 minutes at the clinic and to help reduce the discomfort of hundreds of tiny needles on your face we will apply a local anaesthetic cream to your skin prior to the treatment. Depending on the factors that are affecting your skin the needles vary in length. They may be very short and sit on the surface of your skin or for treatments such as scarring from acne, the needles may be longer and therefore the anaesthetic cream will help make the procedure more relaxing and less uncomfortable. Following the procedure your skin may seem dry or flaky as the new skin comes through and you may also experience redness which will subside over the next couple of days. Read our patient reviews on our website to find out the effects of microneedling and how it can restore the appearance of your skin so that you feel young, confident and happy in it once again.  Speak to us at our studio and find out more about how we can help you enjoy the benefits of this treatment.

Skin Studio UK: let your skin glow with the flow!

At the Skin Studio UK, we have a range of treatments that will enhance your skin and improve its appearance and texture. With a multitude of options that often take a combined approach, treatments naturally flow into one another in a complementary way that creates excellent results. If you are looking for a skin clinic Surrey, we are here to help! Founded by Georgia Brown, who is a level 4 aesthetician who previously worked at the globally renowned Harley Street Clinic, you can rest assured that you will be safe and sound in our clinic that adopts the highest standards. We believe that by improving the condition of your skin, we can also improve your self-esteem and wellbeing.

What treatments do you offer?

How long have you got? The truth is we have a vast range of treatments that can be used in different combinations to achieve the best results for your specific needs. It would take a long time to explore everything we offer, so we’ll give you the highlights and you can book in for an initial consultation for a personalised exploration of what would be the right treatments for you. To do this, we will assess your skin and discuss your concerns, before recommending which treatments would work best. You can ask as many questions as you need to about the treatments offered to enable you to finalise your own treatment plan that’s right for you.

Microneedling

Many of the treatments that this skin clinic Surrey offers include microneedling. This involves using tiny needles to comfortably create little holes in your skin that encourage your body to produce new collagen-rich layers of skin. The result is that you should have plumped up skin where you once had fine lines and wrinkles, and blemishes or scars may be reduced. A number of treatment sessions may be required to maximise the results, which should last for around 5 months.

Resurfacing treatment

Another treatment we offer is our resurfacing treatment. This consists of a chemical substance that we apply to the skin like a face mask. However, this is much more than your regular mask or exfoliation treatment. The resurfacing treatment actually peels off the top layer of your skin and leaves new skin beneath that appears brighter and fresher than the old skin you have removed. We believe at our skin clinic Surrey, the results of this treatment are well worth considering if you want to get enhanced skin quality in a speedy and pain-free way. It is non-invasive and for the best results we normally recommend between 3 to 6 sessions. Each treatment takes 40 minutes to complete and you will find that you need 24 hours of recovery time before you can do things such as put on makeup. The results should last for around 3 months and we can further enhance the look with LED therapy - there are so many ways to look and feel rejuvenated.

So, if you are keen to find out more about how we can help make your skin as healthy and aesthetically pleasing as it can be, why not contact us for a consultation and get yourself on the way to having skin that glows?

Do you want to give your skin a treat? Come to the Skin Studio!

With busy lifestyles and a hundred and one things to do, you can be forgiven if you haven’t made time for yourself and your skin. If moisturising is an achievement, then you may be ready to get some TLC from a skin clinic Surrey and at the Skin Studio UK, we have numerous options for treating yourself. Whether you want to treat foot calluses or get your face looking fresh and fabulous, we have the expertise and treatments you need to get a great look. The only question is where to start?

Microneedling

With many of our treatment options, a microneedling session is included. You may have heard of microneedling and are not aware of what it actually is. By coming to our skin clinic Surrey, you can find out! But, don’t worry, we won’t leave you in suspense. Microneedling is sometimes referred to as ‘medical needling’ and it is a treatment that consists of lots of very tiny and fine needles that are used to make microscopic holes in the face. The use of a roller or a special pen is typical of how this is administered. Why? Because by doing this it enables the skin to become rejuvenated by encouraging it to produce more collagen. This new, collagen-rich skin is then more even in its appearance and feel, so you look more radiant and youthful. It is a perfect treatment to team with other treatments such as our Mesolift package which, alongside microneedling, comprises injections with hyaluronic acid to plump up any fine lines or wrinkles you may have.

Resurfacing treatment

Another treatment that improves the appearance of your skin is our resurfacing treatment. As a skin clinic Surrey that specialises in taking care of your skin and making it as healthy and glowing as it can be, we love this treatment and patients do too! The reason this is a popular treatment is because everybody will have dead skin cells on their face and our resurfacing treatment is a chemical solution that we apply to your visage, like an ordinary face mask. However, the difference is that with this treatment, it gives you a much deeper exfoliation and the effect is that the top layer of dead skin is removed, leaving you with a new, healthy layer underneath. We can then further enhance the results by using our LED treatment. It can be used to tackle rosacea, acne, oily skin or  sun damaged skin.

How many sessions will I need?

For all of our treatments, different numbers of sessions will be recommended. This will depend on you individually, as well as the treatments you are having. For a treatment such as resurfacing, we typically recommend between 3 to 6 sessions. Each session takes 40 minutes and there is normally a 24 hour recovery time. After this, the effects can last for up to 3 months.

How do I find out more?

If you are interested in finding out about how we can help to improve your appearance and freshen up your face, all you need to do is book in for a consultation with us and we will be able to discuss your concerns, assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that we believe will work best for you. You can ask as many questions as you need to make a fully informed decision and with the guidance from our very own Georgia Brown, a level 4 aesthetician who worked at the world renowned Harley Street Clinic before establishing Skin Studio UK, you can rest assured you are in great hands. So, why not treat yourself to a fresh face?

Not feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed? Let the Skin Studio UK awaken your glow!

Have you ever watched Disney’s Snow White and wondered how she does it? She enters a forest and after leaving the murderous, yet merciful, woodcutter she finds herself happily doing household chores with wild animals. Her skin remains perfect and she holds on to the accolade of ‘fairest of them all’, despite the dust and detritus left by the 7 homeowners for whom she also has time to bake (it’s no wonder she has a big sleep!) While sleep, drinking water and cleansing, toning and moisturising are important factors in having healthy skin, it is not always enough to ward off skin issues such as rosacea, acne, sun damage and uneven tone and texture. At Skin Studio UK, we have a range of treatments to help give your skin the boost it needs to look and feel fabulous. If you are looking for a skin clinic Surrey, you just need to find us and avoid any woodcutters along the way!

What we offer

At Skin Studio UK, we have a wide range of treatments that are suitable for addressing a range of issues. Many of our treatment packages include a combined approach to address your concerns and get you looking fresh faced and wonderful. Many of our packages involve microneedling as the first port of call, to stimulate the skin and increase its production of collagen, which will allow the skin to glow.

How does microneedling work?

We use lots of tiny needles on a roller or a special pen and apply them to the skin. By effectively causing some damage to the upper layer of your skin, it encourages it to increase production of collagen-rich layers of skin. This then reveals a more even skin tone and texture that makes you look fresh faced and glowing. With healthy looking skin, you can then have further complementary treatments to enhance the results. If you opt for the microneedling treatment, we also include a peel that works its way down into the skin and enters the tiny holes created by microneedling and should result in an outstanding finish for your face.

What is microneedling used for treating?

Microneedling can be great for reducing the appearance of blemishes or scars, and it can also be used to target lines and wrinkles. At this skin clinic Surrey, you can also rest easy as it shouldn’t be painful and does not require any anaesthetic cream. There should be no need to worry about infection as we carry out all of our procedures in a sterile clinic and Georgia Brown, the founder of Skin Studio UK, is highly experienced as a Level 4 aesthetician who worked at the world renowned Harley Street Clinic.

What do I need to do next?

To find out more about how we can help, you will need to book in for an initial consultation to enable us to assess your skin and discuss your concerns and aims for your skin. We will be able to answer as many questions as you need to ask, allowing you to opt for a treatment plan that is right for you and your needs. So, to wake up your glow and feel the fairest of them all, come and see us at Skin Studio UK.

Our skin clinic Surrey can offer you a range of skin treatments to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As well as give your skin a healthy glow with the stimulation of collagen. Thus allowing you to turn the clock back and have skin that will attract compliments. 

One of the top treatments that we offer is a therapy facial. And in this article, we will look at some of the advantages of having this option performed regularly by our skin clinic Surrey. 

Deep cleansing

Even with the deepest cleansing soaps and creams you can buy, you will never be able to match the deep clean that you will get at our skin clinic Surrey.

Deep cleansing removes the oils and dirt which can cause your skin to look drab and tired. It can also exfoliate the skin to allow the removal of dead skin cells to occur. 

This will create a striking glow that is impossible to get at home. Thus making it a worthwhile investment in your beauty regime.

Anti-ageing

Another benefit of a therapy facial is that it is anti-ageing.

When we offer this treatment, it comes with a facial massage which prompts blood flow to the surface of the face. Thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This also promotes collagen, which increases the elasticity of the skin on your face. And reduces the appearance of sagging skin and jowls. 

Relaxing

Life is tough. Hence why so many busy people take some time out for themselves to visit our team at the studio. 

Having one of our facials is relaxing and calming. The boost in circulation will stimulate the lymphatic vessels in your skin. Keeping them clear and detoxifying the skin. The oils and creams that we use have a pleasant smell, allowing you to feel more at ease during your treatment. 

Improved routine at home

You know how when you go to the hairdresser you ask for tips relating to keeping your hair glossy? Well, our team can also offer you tips on how to care for your skin at home. Thus promoting the overall look and feel that we have achieved in our clinic for you. 

We will always aim to keep our clients' skin in the best condition possible. And are more than happy to recommend the best ways to do so. 

Specific treatments

You may think facials have a limited range of application. But at our studio, we use facials to treat a wide variety of skin issues, such as acne, blackheads, and sunspots. So, if you are looking for a way to get rid of a skin condition, we can offer you help!

A guide to microneedling from our skin clinic

When it comes to keeping the skin wrinkle-free and plump, you may notice new products and treatments coming out all the time.

With each option promising better results than its predecessor. Which can make it a bit tricky to choose the right option for you, especially if you have used treatments before, such as dermal fillers and facial peels.

This brings us onto the subject of one of the newer skin procedures that we can offer. Microneedling. 

At Skin Studio UK, we have helped hundreds of our clients to get the smoother, softer, and plumper skin that they want, using microneedling. We know at our skin clinic Surrey that this treatment is non-invasive and can have the results that you desire in less than a week. Giving you a more natural, healthier glow.

What is microneedling?

It is worth noting from the beginning that this treatment is also known as collagen stimulation therapy. And the treatment of microneedling involves the use of a pen or roller, which has many fine needles in it being rolled or placed on the skin. Allowing these needles to get underneath the skin's surface and break down scar tissue, wrinkles, or acne marks by boosting the collagen. Our skin clinic Surrey will be able to offer you a topical numbing gel if you have sensitive skin. Which can make the process easier to tolerate. But don’t worry! With our expert team, it shouldn’t be uncomfortable at all. 

What it treats

As mentioned earlier, microneedling can treat deep-set wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and stretch marks. It can also treat sun marks, damage, and differences in skin pigmentation. It can also shrink pores and rejuvenate skin that is ageing and sagging. Depending on the severity of the skin condition, you may need more than one treatment to combat this. 

If you have a skin issue that you want to be treated for and are curious if this treatment would benefit you, call our team for more information. 

How it is performed

Microneedling simply involves a friendly member of our team placing a numbing gel over the area that we are about to work on. We will also usually add water, which will help to keep the skin lubricated. 

The procedure itself takes between 15-30 minutes and will involve a roller or pen being placed over the area of the skin that you want to have treated. 

After care

Once the treatment is over, your skin is likely to feel slightly sore and have a red tint to it. Similar to minor sunburn. 

This will take a few days to fade. But don’t worry! This is normal. Along with minor bruising and blood spots. If you have concerns about the effects you are experiencing as the result of microneedling, contact our team. 

Longevity of results

Overall, microneedling lasts between 4-6 weeks, depending on your age and the severity of the issue that is being treated. 

So, you can have this option reapplied every 4-6 weeks. But as you have it performed more regularly, these appointments will likely become more spaced out.

FAQs about microneedling answered by our skin clinic

Do you have fine lines that you want to get rid of? Have you tried a wide range of face creams to no avail?

You may think that the only way left for you to get rid of your wrinkles is to use a facelift, or another type of invasive surgery. But don’t worry! There are lots of facial aesthetics treatments that are still open to you, that will not require you to have surgery or any other extensive procedure. 

One of these is microneedling.

At Skin Studio UK, we are proud of the range of non-surgical options that our skin clinic Surrey can offer. Including the ever-popular microneedling, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, acne, and even stretchmarks. Making it one of our more versatile options. 

Want to learn more to ascertain if microneedling is for you? Read on for answers to some of the most frequent questions that we receive at our skin clinic Surrey.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is one of the many ways that the team at our skin clinic Surrey aims to boost the production of collagen under the skin.

As you may know, collagen is a key ingredient in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. And it is easily stimulated by treatments such as dermal fillers and microneedling.

Microneedling, however, uses a derma stamp pen or a derma roller device, which are composed of very fine needles. They are inserted into the skin around the wrinkles, scar tissue, or acne marks and break down the scar tissue under the skin. 

This leads to the formation of new skin tissue and the removal of the damaged tissue.

Will there be marks after the treatment?

There will be some mild swelling and redness for 2 to 4 days. Which should fade on its own. There may even be minor bruising around the area where the microneedling was performed, alongside blood spots. However, the latter should disappear in around 24 hours. But your skin will start looking more radiant within about 1 week post-procedure. 

How often can I have it reapplied?

You may need to have this reapplied every 4-6 weeks.

But you may not need to have it reapplied this frequently. And this will vary based on your age, wrinkle depth, and the depth of any scars or stretch marks that you are having removed. 

Does it hurt?

This is one of the key questions that our team is asked at the Skin Studio.

In short, it will depend on the intensity of the microneedling. If you are having deeper scars or wrinkles removed, then it is more likely to be uncomfortable. Also, if you have sensitive skin, we can apply a topical numbing cream before we begin the procedure, to ensure that you are comfortable.

If you notice extensive discomfort in the days following the procedure, please feel free to call our team for advice.

Are there any side effects?

To date, there have been no reported side effects of having microneedling performed. If you have concerns that you are experiencing side effects after you have had this treatment, please call our team and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
