Best Microneedling near me in Dumfries

Microneedling is a technique used to treat a range of skin conditions including alopecia, acne, and wrinkles. It works by puncturing the skin with tiny sterile needles to create a mild epidermal trauma, which triggers the skin to produce collagen and rebuild.

Everyone’s skin is different, and how long the results last not only depends on the length of time new collagen lasts in your skin, but the severity of the skin condition you are treating. Your microneedling therapist is best placed to advise you on this.

Depending on the area being treated, a microneedling treatment takes around 30 minutes. Your microneedling therapist will be able to give you an accurate time estimate based on your skin health, your skin goals, and the parts of your body being treated.

Every 4-6 weeks initially, until you reach your target result. You’re likely to need top-up sessions to maintain your desired look, but your therapist will be able to advise you on how long to leave between each maintenance treatment.

You’ll probably see the effects instantly in some areas, but the best results won’t be visible until 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment. This is because when the micro-needles penetrate your skin, they create tiny wounds that your body needs to heal. Part of this process involves the production of collagen, and this takes around a month.
