Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates controlled micro injuries that stimulate the body's natural wound healing response. Tiny needles puncture the surgace of the skin, releasing natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue. Visit our microneedling experts in our Birmingham clinic to discuss microneedling for your skin.
At Kat & Co, we offer SkinPen, the only globally FDA approved micro-needling device (SkinPen Precision) which is clinically proven with visible results seen after one treatment. Collagen Induction Therapy assists in the rejuvenation of the epidermal integrity resulting in improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. SkinPen Precision can effectively remodel scar tissue whilst maintaining the overall structure of the skin. SkinPen can be used on all areas of the face and body and can treat a number of concerns.

There are three phases involved in the wound-healing process:
Phase I (Inflammation phase) – The piercing of the skin triggers a response in your immune system which disinfects the wounds, increases blood flow and initiates new tissue formation.
Phase II (Proliferation phase) – A new network of blood vessels develop in addition to wound rebuilding involving new granulation cells.
Phase III (Remodeling phase) – The wound is replaced with new blood vessels and Dermal tissues.
Microneedling is virtually painless. We provide topical numbing gel prior to the procedure. You may experience minor discomfort and vibrations on the skin.
While generally comfortable and safe, there is a possibility of encountering redness, swelling and slight fluid ooze, and, in certain instances, bruising as potential side effects of the treatment.
We typically advise patients to have 3 sessions of microneedling to see maximum results. These sessions should be spaced 4 weeks apart to allow for proper healing.
We advise refraining from using aggressive skincare products like acids, AHA's, and retinol. Additionally, please avoid prolonged sun exposure and ensure you apply SPF. Lastly, it's recommended to steer clear of strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
