Microneedling
More Information
Microneedling is capable of targeting several common skin concerns.
One of its primary benefits is to refresh dull and tired skin and reverse the early signs of ageing. The treatment achieves this by stimulating collagen production, which leads to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
It is also capable of improving the appearance of scars resulting from acne or Chicken Pox. It can also smooth out uneven skin textures, resulting in more even-looking skin and refines large pores. Lastly, it is known to fade dark patches, such as pigmentation caused by sun damage or ageing.
Microneedling is also fantastic at reducing the appearance of stretchmarks.
Overall, it is a versatile skin treatment that can improve the look and feel of your skin. Whether you’re looking to refresh your complexion, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or smooth out scars and pigmentation, microneedling may be the solution you’re looking for.
We use a cutting-edge clinical instrument for our microneedling treatment.
This provides us with unparalleled precision and accuracy in the treatment of the skin.
These revolutionary electronic devices allow our practitioners to customise the intensity of the treatment to our clientele’s specific needs.
Additionally, a potent solution containing essential minerals, vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid is applied to the skin, which activates cell regeneration, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and enhances skin elasticity.
This targeted pen treatment is perfect for those with localised areas of concern, addressing and improving specific areas of the skin.
If you have a darker skin tone, microneedling may be an excellent option for you. Unlike other treatments such as peels or lasers, which can cause pigmentation problems, it is gentler and does not pose the same risks.
Yes, this procedure can help improve the appearance of acne scars in a significant manner.
To get the best results, you will likely need more than one treatment. The number of treatments you need will depend on the severity of your scars. In most cases, you can expect to see results after 3-6 treatments.
To get the most out of the treatment, it’s best to undergo multiple sessions. We advise a minimum of 3 sessions, however, for optimal result we advise between 6 – 12 in-clinic sessions. A single treatment is unlikely to achieve the desired results for an extended period of time. The number of sessions require will vary depending on the areas that are been targeted.
We typically recommend spacing out treatments by 3 – 4 weeks to give your skin enough time to recover and stimulate collagen production.
The in-clinic procedure will last 60 minutes. This will include pre treatment consultation, skin analysis, cleanse and prep followed by the administration of the treatment itself. This treatment will be concluded through application of a collagen boosting facial mask. For advanced results it is recommended to add on the LED Light Therapy treatment.
No, our clients who undergo the procedure do not require anaesthesia. However, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment areas of individuals who have very sensitive skin.
Following the procedure you will be able to leave clinic immediately, however, it is important to understand the side effects in relation to microneedling.
There will be redness and swelling following the procedure which typically can last up to 48 hours post treatment. Some of our clients have also reported sensitivity in the area of treatment. An itching sensation is also completely normal and can last up to 48 hours too.
Yes, it is a safe procedure. Moreover, the practitioners who perform the treatment at our clinics are trained and experienced professionals.
While microneedling may result in some mild discomfort, it is not a painful procedure.
Microneedling can create fantastic long lasting results when combined with other skin treatments that we offer.
Microneedling can be paired with both Hydrafacial and LED Light Therapy. These treatments can be conducted during the same appointment slot.
Microneedling can also be paired with HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and Radiofrequency, however, you must wait a minimum of 7 days between these treatments.
Happy Customers Oh wow what a fabulous treatment I had with Roseanne today. Although the Hifu facial is a little uncomfortable, Roseanne was excellent, explaining the whole process. She was extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease. I can see the results already. I’ll definitely be back. I had my first treatment of aqualyx on my stomach area and found the treatment perfect. There was little to no pain and sapphire was really helpful when answering my questions and gave really good advice and service. I would definitely recommend this clinic for treatments. Thank you to Yolanda and Rosanne, plasma performed , I have had this done in other clinics, but the knowledge and respect I received from these two ladies , I cannot praise them highly enough, thank you girls Rebecca was lovely throughout my treatment…very good at her job! Thank you! This is my second time at Vivo and I am super happy with my treatments.
This time around I had the pleasure of having Diana as my therapist and she was amazing. She explained everything in a simple and detailed way, allowed me to feel part of my treatment, recommended additional treatments with no pressure, and made me feel really at home.
When you are getting these kind of treatments it is very personal and you need to feel comfortable with your therapist and feel they know what they are doing.
Well my treatments were done over 2 plus hours and Diana really showed her expertise in the business of beauty. Sharing some of her previous experience and making me feel even more at ease.
Vivo has great prices and amazing people. In a neat, clean and welcoming space.
Highly recommended.
Thanks for everything Diana, I’ll be back again soon :)
JB. Sapphire is a highly skilled and professional therapist with a warm and friendly demeanor. She possesses extensive knowledge and has a strong reputation for providing safe and reliable care. I've undergone several treatments with her, including a recent Morpheus8 procedure, and I can't praise her enough! So far I had 2 sessions with Sapphire. She is a wonderful consultant. Friendly and professional. Very knowledgeable in the work she does.Definitely I would recommend Sapphire. I have booked more treatments with her. First time explained very well in detail by Shaymma would definitely recommend. First time for me to have fat freezing done . I recently had a treatment in Birmingham with Sandra. Sandra was fabulous and very professional, she talked me through my facial and answered all questions i had. The clinic was very clean with high standards, very friendly and welcoming. I would not hesitate recommending this VIVO Clinic.
Great value, great consultants and very professional.
