Microneedling
“the only FDA cleared pen”
For firmer, smoother and more toned skin.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin by stimulating natural collagen production. The procedure uses very small needles to prick the skin which generates new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Microneedling is a safe procedure, minimally invasive and requires no downtime, and is available at my skin clinic.

Dr Dil is brilliant at what she does. Her work is so careful and precise and very subtle – with very pleasing results. I also love the fact that Dr Dil is so serious about skincare, the belief that if you use the right products on your skin, there is less need for cosmetic enhancement – so refreshing in this day and age.

Since turning 40, my skin has really started to age at a much faster rate which has had a knock on effect to my confidence. However, the super subtle treatment I had with Dil has transformed my face and my outlook. Dil is so calm and reassuring and also very honest so certainly won’t treat any areas you don’t need. The Medished is a calm retreat and I could have spent the whole afternoon there!

Dr Dil is great. She understands exactly what I’m looking for – minimal effort for maximum results – and I’m so pleased with how my skin is looking. It’s much smoother and much clearer and I couldn’t be happier.I highly recommend Dil!

Does it hurt?
How long will it take?
Clinicians may apply a topical numbing agent prior to beginning the procedure, depending on the type of procedure that has been tailored to an individual’s skin. Most patients say their experience was virtually painless. There is minimal post-procedure reddening of the skin, which dissipates, so there is no downtime required.
How long does it take?
SkinPen® micro needling procedures are brief, in office procedures, This procedure is gentler than most alternatives, so it may take more than one session to achieve optimal results. Results may become visible after the procedure. It is recommended that appointments are scheduled about a month apart, to give the skin time to rest and heal in between.
Is it right for me?
Unlike many other skin renewal options, micro needling is safe and effective for every skin color and type. It does not significantly affect the epidermis. When performed correctly by a trained clinician, there are is little risk of any side-effects such as burns, scarring, or hyperpigmentation or other discoloration.
