What will I feel during microneedling?
Using the correct techniques and products the sensation of micro needling can be dramatically reduced. Prior to treatment a pre treatment spray is applied to the skin made from 100% organic products including green tea and rose root. Unless an area of skin requires specialist and deeper needling (for example scars) no topical anesthetics are used, or in our experience needed.
How many treatments will I need?
Live well offers course of 3 treatments, which will enable you to decide if you have reached your treatment goals, or wish to purchase another treatment block to support you further.
For Collagen induction, Scarring, Stretch Marks and Cellulite, treatments should be performed with a 2 week gap between them, using the after care products included in your package during this time
For hair restoration weekly treatments are recommended, a course of 6 treatments may be needed. The hair restoration spray should be used twice daily on an ongoing basis.
Are the rollers sterile?
As a member of the British Acupuncture Council, I adhere to all professional standards for dermarollers. To support my membership all rollers are used once. The treatment package includes a new sterile roller made from biocompatible polymer for each appointment. The rollers are hypoallergenic and therefore no metal allergies or side effects from using metal on the skin will be experienced.
I am allergic to Nickel, can I have receive treatment?
Live well is delighted to use 100% hypoallergenic rollers. A roller is used once and then disposed of. All products used during treatment are 100% organic.
What aftercare regime must I follow?
After your first treatment, you will be given a serum to take home and use to support your treatment goals:
anti aging
scar and stretch mark
cellulite serum
hair restoration spray
The ingredients in each serum have been tailored for the specific condition. In addition the ingredients in each have been shown to increase production of collagen type ans improve wound healing. They are formulated in green tea oil which in addition to containing high levels of anti oxidants to improve the skin, the oil base is far better than water based moisturisers at reducing the dry skin caused by microneedling. Green tea extracts also repair UV damage and reduce future damage which is useful as microneedling can cause photosensitivity.
Can anyone have microneedling?
Before starting a course of treatment, an assessment will be completed to ensure Microneedling is suitable for you. There are some conditions and skin presentations that are not suitable for microneedling. If you are taking anti coagulants, or regular medication that may be contraindicated this will be discussed before payment or bookings are made. Please contact me to discuss further.
