Microneedling

Turn Back the Clock: Rejuvenate Your Skin
Welcome to Mike Lee Laser and Skin Clinic, where we understand the frustrations of acne-prone skin and the desire to eliminate dark spots. Our goal is to help you bid farewell to those stubborn dark areas, wrinkles, and pimples while enhancing your skin’s radiance and texture. Experience the transformative power of microneedling, a cutting-edge treatment that can significantly improve the appearance of your skin.
Microneedling is an ideal solution for those looking to slow down the ageing process, address scars caused by burns or acne, and enhance the appearance of stretch marks, wrinkles, and expression lines. Additionally, it works wonders in brightening dull skin and restoring texture by reducing the appearance of pores.
During microneedling, microscopic skin punctures are created, triggering your body’s natural healing response. As a result, your skin will appear plump, pink, and luminous for a few weeks. The short-term effects include improved plumpness and radiance due to swelling and mild inflammation. However, since microneedling’s efficacy stems from the skin’s healing process, significant results may require multiple sessions.
Say Hello to a Fresh, Radiant Complexion
It’s important to note that microneedling is a painless outpatient procedure that does not require anaesthesia or extensive postoperative care. The treatment begins with a professional assessment to determine your skin’s specific needs and the recommended number of sessions.
Before microneedling, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and sanitised. A customised combination of substances will be applied based on your desired outcomes, followed by the use of a microneedle device to penetrate to the desired depth. The sessions are quick but effective, making them perfect to have as a lunch-time treat if you work during the day.
Our experts will recommend the use of a variety of skincare products post-treatment and it is crucial to avoid sun exposure and consistently apply sunscreen. Mild redness and a slight sensation of warmth in the hours following the session are normal but should not cause discomfort. As a precaution, it’s advised to avoid direct sun exposure and refrain from wearing makeup for 24 hours after the treatment.
How it works
Professional assessment
The treatment begins with an assessment of your skin's specific needs. The practitioner recommends how many sessions you may need and gives you a quote.
Cleanse and prepare
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and sanitised, then a customised combination of substances is applied, chosen around the results you would like to achieve.
Microneedle device
A microneedle device then reaches the desired depth, creating microscopic punctures in the skin that trigger your body's own natural healing response during the session.
Healing and results
Skin can appear plump, pink and glowing for a few weeks, and because results come from healing, the clinic says multiple sessions may be needed.
