What is Microneedling?

Microneedling treatment is one of the world’s leading non-surgical skin rejuvenation practices. Designed to naturally stimulate collagen, improve skin texture and restore confidence, microneedling can refine acne scars, fine lines, pigmentation, thinning hair and more.  

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, which stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that keep skin smooth, firm and youthful. 

So, if you’re looking for a non-surgical treatment that repairs and rejuvenates your skin, try microneedling.

What to Expect

When you visit Refine Clinic, Dr. Natalia Bratu will talk with you about your micro needle therapy needs, expectations and the finer details of the treatment. She will go through everything from what comfort level to expect to duration, sensations and aftercare steps. If at any point you feel the treatment isn’t for you, you’re free to reassess your options and come back another time.

But how does microneedling work, exactly? Well, we use a specialised microneedling device that contains ultra-fine needles that penetrate the skin at carefully controlled depths. These tiny punctures don’t cause lasting damage, but they do trigger a natural healing response. The skin then repairs itself by producing fresh collagen and elastin, improving its overall structure.

Microneedling Pre & Post Treatment Advice

During your consultation with Dr. Natalia Bratu, it’s possible that you will be deemed unsuitable for a microneedling facial treatment or microneedling for hair loss. This can be due to one of many reasons, particularly if you have:

  • Acne or are taking medication for acne.
  • Blood disorders or are on anticoagulants.
  • Cancer and are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
  • Frequent skin rashes or cold sores.
  • Keloidal tendency.
  • Moles, freckles, skin tags or other growths that change in size or shape or bleed.
  • Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

However, Dr. Natalia Bratu will be happy to discuss your options as there may be alternatives available.

At Refine Clinic, we advise clients on several steps to ensure optimal results:

  • Clean: Use a soothing cleanser or face wash with tepid water to cleanse your face during the 48 hours post-treatment. Gently dry the treated skin, and always ensure your hands are clean when touching the treated area.
  • Hydrate: Following your treatment, your skin may feel drier than normal, so it’s essential to hydrate.
  • Stimulate: In the days following your treatment, and as the skin starts to regenerate, collagen stimulating peptides are recommended to continue the stimulation.
  • Makeup: Avoid makeup application during the 12 hours after your treatment. When you eventually do apply makeup, use a clean makeup brush.
  • Protect: Immediately after the procedure, apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with a SPF30.

To ensure the proper healing environment, observe the following after microneedling care guidelines:

  • For at least two hours post-treatment, do not use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
  • Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. Do not use a tanning bed.
  • Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid exercise or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments are harmful, rife with bacteria and may cause adverse reactions.

Other treatments that may also be suitable for you

Microneedling with Exosomes

Exosomes Treatment Dublin

Microneedling and exosome treatment go hand in hand. As microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries and opens the skin surface, it enhances the absorption of growth-factor rich exosome solutions. This combination helps accelerate collagen and elastin production, speeds up healing and often results in less downtime and improved texture, tone and firmness. 

PRP Vampire Facelift

prp-facelift

Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, or a PRP Vampire Facelift, is an innovative non-surgical facial treatment where plasma is taken from your own blood and used in the treatment. PRP injections contain regeneration-promoting signalling molecules, and results can be seen instantly in visibly smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  

Microneedling FAQs

Prices vary depending on the treatment. For example, one face and hand peel costs €350, while a tummy lift costs €800. 

Depending on the treatment you opt for, you may feel some slight sensations and minimal discomfort. However, there are numbing agents available should you wish to use one.  

As a doctor-led and patient-centric clinic, Dr. Natalia Bratu will be by your side to discuss your medical health and suitability, benefits, risks, results and post-treatment expectations. 

Some people may be unsuitable for aesthetic treatments due to pre-existing medical conditions, lifestyle factors or their current physical condition. 

During your initial consultation, Dr. Natalia Bratu will assess whether the treatment is right for you. At Refine Clinic, we never pressure our clients to proceed, and you are welcome to return or take time to consider your options. 

Micro needle treatment is typically completed within 60 minutes. 

After your microneedling treatment, please be aware of and observe the following: 

  • Immediately after your treatment, you will look as though you have a moderate to severe sunburn, and your skin may feel warm and tighter than usual. This is normal and will subside after 1-2 hours. The skin will normally recover within the same day or 24 hours. You may see slight redness after 24 hours, but only in minimal areas or spots. 
  • We will prescribe post-procedure skincare to help soothe, calm and protect the skin. Continue to follow the steps Dr. Natalia Bratu outlines for three days. Do not resume your skincare until 48 hours post-procedure. 
  • Treatments should be booked 4-6 weeks apart. 
  • 4-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results. 

 

Depending on your lifestyle, results may last between six and nine months.

This is understandable and no problem at all. Dr. Natalia Bratu will discuss the treatment and answer all your questions. If you decide not to have treatment at any point, that is also not a problem. There may be other treatments for the issues or needs you have, which can be explored.
