The right skincare to use when Microneedling (and what to avoid)
With Nicole Jones from The Beauty Room in Alicetown
Dermapen: It’s the collagen-boosting treatment that Skin Therapists swear by. That’s because it can offer incredible results for those looking to minimise the appearance of acne, scars, wrinkles, pigmentation and much more. It’s also low risk and incurs minimal downtown.
However, the skincare used by your therapist during your microneedling treatment will make all the difference to your results. We chat to Nicole Jones, owner of The Beauty Room in Alicetown, to find out why.
What do you love about Dermapen Microneedling as an in-clinic treatment option?
Dermapen Microneedling is incredible as it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process. The very tiny needles work to penetrate the skin which kick starts the body’s wound healing response creating new growth factors, collagen, and elastin for a rejuvenated and glowing complexion. You won’t really feel this, as the needles move incredibly fast in a vertical stamping motion.
I also love as therapists that we have access to a complementary skincare range, Dp Dermaceuticals, which is exclusively designed for skin needling procedures and enhances the process meaning accelerated results for our clients.
So, how do you get the best results out of Microneedling?
One major benefit of Dermapen Microneedling is that you receive the active ingredients of your skincare up to 80% deeper into the skin, but what is crucial here is that the products used during a treatment are not only infusing deeply but are safe to do so.
We use the Dp Dermaceuticals range in the skin – not just on the skin – during our rejuvenation treatments. These active solutions, contain beneficial ingredients like collagen, vitamins, antioxidants which are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin through these tiny channels to maximise your skin results
Not only that, the clinically proven range promotes quicker results, and helps to strengthen and support skin which in turn reduces redness and inflammation during and following microneedling. This means glowing, younger-looking skin that can be done on your lunch break!
What is it important to prepare the skin with the right products before, during and after microneedling?
Needling the wrong products into the skin, like say an ultrasound gel, can damage the skin and lead to painful infections. Using safe and active skincare that works together with the Dermapen stops the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and abnormal scar tissue development, and simply benefits the skin allowing a comfortable, results-driven procedure.
At The Beauty Room we know that pairing a superior device with Dp Dermaceuticals skin infusion products is crucial.
So why is Dp Dermaceuticals so superior to other products used during microneedling?
Simply put this range contains carefully selected actives at a strength proven to be most effective. The range can also be used on all Fitzpatrick skin types and heritages!
Their ‘super-star’ ingredient is their Hylafuse Complex. A patented ingredient which is used as a safe delivery system into the skin. Found in targeted serums and a form of Hyaluronic Acid, it differs from other products used during microneedling procedures as it delivers other active ingredients into deeper layers of the skin for up to 8 hours post treatment and can break through skin barriers to “plump” up the skin.
Each product contains potent strengths, intense hydration and comfort to the skin, designed exclusively for skin needling and backed by strict testing.
You can also upgrade your treatment to include an MG Serum which targets different skin conditions, such as anti-ageing, brightening, scarring, and problematic/acne.
