Skin Micro Needling – Dermaroller® & Dermapen in Harley Street London

What is micro skin needling, and how does it work?

Micro skin needling is an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment that will help give your skin a healthy and youthful appearance. It is one of the safest skin rejuvenation treatments on the market as it does not remove the skin surface and has little to no downtime. Micro skin needling at our Harley Street clinic produces results comparable to those of other skin treatments such as lasers, dermabrasion, and deep chemical peels.

Dermal rolling is based on the concept of the skin’s ability to regenerate and repair itself when it encounters physical damage like cuts, burns and more. The act of the dermaroller or derma pen allows for a controlled induction of the skin’s self and its repair mechanism by creating micro-injuries which trigger new collagen production, yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring.

Microskin needling is an effective way of treating:

• enlarged pores
• acne and acne scars
• chicken pox scarring
• fine lines and wrinkles
• lack of skin firmness and elasticity
• sun damage
• pigmentation

Will Dermaroller® / Dermapen micro skin needling hurt?

There is an amount of associated pain with the treatment, but this can be alleviated.

What results will I see from my micro skin needling treatment in Harley Street?

There is a slight degree of redness that you will experience after the Dermaroller® / Dermapen treatment. You may notice that you have a “flushed” appearance – similar to mild sunburn. You may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch. This will diminish greatly after a few hours following the cosmetic treatment, and within the next 48 hours, your skin will be completely healed and looking great!
