We use a Microneedling Pen to make multiple tiny pinpricks in the skin. This is a unique electronic mechanism which allows your beauty therapist to control treatment intensity to best suit your needs. At Bessie S beauty salon, our microneedling treatments are combined with an infusion of vitamins, amino acids, peptides, and skin hydrators for optimum results As the skin heals these pinpricks, it uses the infused cocktail to build new collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (hyaluronic acid), resulting in tighter, plumper and healthier skin.

Micro-needling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue.

Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, firm and smooth. Ageing causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Skin can also lose collagen due to injuries, such as acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars.

We apply a topical anaesthetic beforehand to make sure the procedure is comfortable.

Micro-needling is minimally invasive, requiring little to no downtime. You may experience some redness and swelling but this will go away on its own within a few hours.We advise you not to wear makeup for at least the first day but use a suncreen.

We recommend a series of 3-6 treatments but this can depend on the condition of your skin and what you are wanting to achieve. It is important to realise that micro-needling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several months for a person to see the full results.
