Skin Needling

EXPLORE

Skin Needling, or Dermapen, is a natural treatment to improve your skin texture, smooth wrinkles, fine lines and soften scars and pigmentation. It is suitable for all skin types and all areas of the face, neck, decolletage and hands. The treatments have excellent results for acne scarring. It is a safe procedure and an effective method in piercing the skin. Dermapen aims to tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin, with a visible appearance of the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and pigmentation. A variety of creams or gels will be used, most suitable for your skin and treatment, to hydrate the skin and reduce signs of fine lines. You can purchase these after your treatment for maintenance. The treatment encourages natural production of collagen and elastin, tightening and plumping the skin.

Dermapen improves your skin texture, smoothes wrinkles, fine lines and soften scars and pigmentation. It aims to tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin, with a visible appearance of the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and pigmentation.

Patients should avoid use of the following products and procedures on the area to be treated for 5-7 days prior to the procedure: Laser hair removal Waxing Depilatory creams Electrolysis There are certain products that may increase skin sensitivity and/or cause a stronger reaction to the Skin Needling if used up to the day of the peel. Patients should avoid use of the following products for the 3 days prior to the peel: Topical retinoids and tretinoin Other topical acids or exfoliants that may be drying or irritating to the skin (such as alpha hydroxy acids [AHAs], beta hydroxy acids [BHAs], exfoliating masks, retinols, hydroquinone, and benzoylperoxide acne products)

This non-surgical resurfacing procedure creates a controlled injury underneath the skin’s surface to stimulate the body to naturally produce collagen and elastin. The result is plumper skin and diminished appearance of scarring and wrinkles.

Redness and swelling is COMMON Skin infections are “LESS COMMON” readily treated with antibiotics Scarring is VERY RARE

You will see improvement from the first session, and it is suggested to have one Dermapen Treatment every 2 weeks to start with and then once a month after that. Results improve with sessions.

As a mature lady I had my first lip filler experience with Dr. Lanka. I cannot thank her enough. I just wanted less of a thin lip. She made me feel at ease straightaway and the result was amazing. She also did my marionette lines. No one could tell what I had done but all my friends thought I looked great but couldn't tell why. I feel so much more confident in my looks. I have recommended Dr Lanka to several people an I will definitely be going back for further treatments in the future. Yvonne.

I phoned Skin Sense at 0940. I got an appointment at 1200 (a cancellation) and by 1315 the minor procedure I'd been promising myself to have done for nearly two years, was done. The whole process was unbelievably thorough, quick, painless and efficient. I can't thank the team there enough.

I have been seeing Dr Lanka for sometime now and she’s absolutely amazing. She has for sure transformed my skin with the Obagi products and always at hand when I need her. I recently took my 15 year old for a consultation as I have been desperately waiting on the nhs. She was so prompt with the appointment, diagnosis and treatment. I felt at ease, as what I would have waited 13 months on the nhs, Dr Lanka helped within a day. Dr Lanka is incredible, highly recommend.
