Tailored skin treatment at our skin clinic
If you are someone who reads a lot about cosmetic treatments you may realise that there are many different treatments and procedures available for improving the appearance of your skin. A lot of these treatments have overlapping effects, for example microneedling, lasers and chemical peels can all be used to address similar skin concerns. So how do you know which treatment is right for you? Here at Skin Studio UK we are here to help. You need a skin consultation at our skin clinic Surrey.
At our skin clinic Surrey we can identify your cosmetic needs and put together a treatment plan that takes into consideration your personal preferences as well as your budget. We may suggest a single procedure or different treatments to address different parts of your skin. With our wide range of treatments and procedures we can put together a bespoke treatment plan for you. We will recommend the best intervention for your skin concerns and let you know what you should avoid, taking into consideration any skin conditions that you may have. For example, patients suffering from vitiligo or psoriasis will have a different treatment plan to those suffering from acne scarring or surgical scarring.
Microneedling
A popular treatment here at our skin clinic Surrey is microneedling. Microneedling is suitable for most skin types. It is versatile and can be used to address a range of aesthetic issues of the skin. It involves rolling multiple needles across your target areas to puncture the skin and encourage collagen and elastin production. This helps reduce and diminish signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks and other aesthetic issues of the skin. A treatment session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes depending on how many areas need to be treated. You will be given numbing cream and have your skin disinfected before the procedure, therefore you can expect to spend a couple of hours at our clinic.
Recovery or healing after microneedling varies based on the type of treatment that was done, as well as your own unique ability to heal from an injury. Downtime can be as little as 1 or 2 days with minor flushing or bronzing of the skin. Your skin may feel dry, but this should subside by itself. Recovery can take several days if a deeper or more aggressive treatment was carried out. It is important that you continue to look after your skin after the treatment, making sure that you are protecting it from the sun and maintaining a gentle skincare routine. You will be advised to avoid makeup for at least a couple of days after the procedure. Once your skin has recovered you need to maintain a good skincare routine to enhance the effects of the procedure. It is important to remember that more than one treatment is needed with microneedling, typically a series of 3 to 6 treatments at one month intervals is necessary for best results. You will notice the appearance of your skin improving after each treatment, but if you are tackling issues such as scarring or deep wrinkles then it is important that you complete the course for an excellent outcome.
