Microneedling + BioRepeel

What is Microneedling + BioRepeel?

Combined Microneedling and BioRePeel treatment offers a synergistic approach to skin rejuvenation, enhancing the efficacy of each individual treatment and addressing a wider range of skin concerns. Microneedling, which uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production, allows the BioRePeel's active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximising its exfoliating and rejuvenating effects. This procedure is painless as medical-grade numbing cream is used.

What to expect after your facial?

  • Redness - After your treatment, it is completely normal to be red for up to 3 days, although most clients find the redness has gone in 24 hours. If you are super red after your appointment, please don't panic this is a good thing!
    Please also DO NOT take any anti-inflammatories to try and speed up your healing. These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process which is critical and responsible for skin rejuvenation.

  • Dryness/tightness - It is also completely normal to experience dryness, tightness & mild flaking post-treatment.  It’s important to know everyone's skin reacts differently to + BioRepeel. The active ingredients used alongside Microneedling are very beneficial to your skin, but if your skin is not used to them it can make it a little dry at first. If your skin is super dry, it can sometimes be a little itchy. To help with this you can take an antihistamine for the next day or 2.  Believe it or not, it’s not only down to your body’s anatomy as to how quickly you heal but also your home skincare routine.

  • Your skin may also go a little red each time you are exposed to heat for the next couple of days after Microneedling and experiencing sensitivity/tingling sensation for the next few days is also not uncommon.

  • Over the next few days, you may / may not notice a few spots pop up. This is NOT A BREAKOUT. Believe it or not, it’s actually a good thing! The correct term for this is called Purging. The term skin purging refers to an increase in cell turnover speed when using active ingredients or a cell turnover increasing facial like Microneedling. Your skin will begin to shed dead skin cells faster than normal revealing clearer more youthful-looking skin. But before these new, healthy cells can make their way to the surface, the not-so-good stuff has to rise to the top first. Which is sebum that builds up from below the surface of the skin and clogs pores. The not-so-glam side of Purging.

  • Straight after your appointment, your skin may feel a little tingly and sensitive but usually nothing more.As you get to day 3, dryness/tightness/flaking/shedding is to be expected. But it is also not uncommon to experience none of this.

  • If you have a darker skin complexion suffering from Hyperpigmentation, you may notice that your pigmented areas seem darker at first, but they will start to lighten over the next week or 2. 

    *Should your skin have a mild reaction and go super dry/itchy, take an antihistamine daily for 3 days post facial and apply a gentle hydrating moisturiser up to 3 times a day.*
