Treatment for Scars, Wide Pores & Stretch Marks in Kent and Sussex

Microneedling ( dermaroller and fractional radiofrequency) is an affordable, safe and increasingly popular skin renewal technique that restores the healthy, youthful appearance of the skin with minimum recovery time.

Microneedling treatments available at rtwskin:

Dermaroller treatment (mechanical skin stimulation)
RF fractional microneedling (mechanical and radiofrequency skin stimulation)

RF Fractional Microneedling

Microneedle Fractional RF System is the latest technology that combines the advantages of both radiofrequency and microneedle therapy. Micro-Needle Fractional RF System delivers multi-polar RF energy on the dermis by injecting micro-needles causing selective heating in the deep dermis leaving columns of undamaged tissue in between.

The micro-needles are driven directly into the skin at a certain depth (0.2mm-3.0mm), and radiofrequency energy is then released inside the skin. The process of micro-needling resulted in microscopic breaks in the blood vessels. Platelets from these breaks release a series of growth factors that promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Minimally invasive RF thermal energy creates fractional electrocoagulation in the dermis which facilitates a natural Wound Healing Process (WHP). WHP promotes the remodelling of collagen and wound contraction, which enhances skin laxity. This not only stimulates dermal remodelling but also RF inhibits sebaceous gland activity to improve acne.

Application:

Wrinkle around lips, chin, eye area, décolletage and neck;
General skin rejuvenation: improves the texture and tone of the skin
Acne scar and scars caused by burns, surgery or laser treatment etc.
Skin tightening and lifting.
Stretch marks
Large pores

Procedure

The needle tip contains 25 or 49 very small needles acting as internal conductors. When it is applied to the skin, under local or topical anaesthesia, sterile micro-needles are used to create many microscopic channels deep into the dermis of the skin which stimulates your own body to produce new collagen. These channels also improve the penetration of vitamins A and C creams. Vitamins A and C stimulate skin renewal, thereby making the skin appear fresher and younger.

 

Benefits

Generally, after 6 treatments the following can be achieved:

Skin is tightened, and original thickness and elasticity restored
Fine lines and wrinkles including eye area and upper lip wrinkles are smoothed.
Pore size and scarring is reduced
Reduction in dilated blood vessels

Other benefits:

Healing period is relatively fast (generally about 48-72 hours of mild swelling, 24 hours of redness)
There is very low risk of side effects and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Procedure is suited to all skin types. However, this treatment is not suitable for use on Active Acne, Eczema, Rosacea or Psoriasis.

Dermaroller

Dermaroller is a medical device used to mechanically produce thousands of microscopic needle columns deep into the skin. These columns will close rapidly enabling the skin to recover quickly, often in the same day.

Treatment:

Prior to the procedure the face will be numbed with local anaesthetic.

As the Dermaroller is passed across the skin it causes small micro punctures in the surface of the skin that stimulate the skin at a dermal level to regenerate and repair itself naturally, creating healthier, smoother, brighter and younger-looking skin. Following the procedure you may experience slight redness and swelling but this usually subsides within a few hours and a complete recovery will be made within 48 hours.

Optimum results are achieved with a course of 3-6 treatments, 4 weeks apart. We will advise you to use a less invasive Dermaroller alongside a specially tailored topical product at home to accelerate the rejuvenation process.

Dermaroller significantly improves the appearance of:

Lines and wrinkles on the face, neck and décolletage
Sun damaged and ageing skin
Acne & post traumatic scars
Stretch marks
