Microneedling.
Controlled micro injury to trigger your own collagen response, at no less than 2700 micro perforations per second. Prescribed as a course and combined with other modalities where your skin needs it.
We create customised programmesbased on your requirements.
No two people are the same, so the combination and the number of sessions are decided with you at your skin consultation rather than picked off a list.
A-Lift Express Facial
Thirty minutes of A-Lift micro and nano current. The one to book when you want to look well for something at the weekend.
£110Microneedling Skin Rejuvenation, face
Collagen induction across the full face, for texture, fine lines, pores and acne scarring.
£130Microneedling, face and neck
As above, carried through the neck where laxity and crepiness usually show first.
£140A-Lift Anti-Ageing Facial
Micro and nano current worked through the face over a full hour. Lifts and tones without needles.
£150DPC Signature Anti-Ageing Facial Massage
Our own facial massage protocol. Worth having in its own right and a good way into the range.
£150Microneedling, face, neck and décolleté
The full upper body treatment. The chest ages quickly and is very often left out.
£150SkinGoal Aqua Facial
Our own advanced facial, fully customisable to your needs and able to address most skin concerns, because there are six different modalities in the one machine. With radio frequency, ultrasound, microdermabrasion and oxygen we can create a truly individual facial for you. Congested pores, tired or dehydrated skin are left clear and fresh, and with so many anti ageing properties your skin will thank you. Forty five minutes.
£150Dermalift, A-Lift and microneedling
Microneedling combined with A-Lift micro and nano current in the same appointment.
£160Dermalift, face, neck and décolleté
The combined treatment carried through the neck and chest.
£170RF and Microneedling
This dual modality of both radio frequency and microneedling gives your skin a fabulous boost in collagen, and tightens, smooths and lifts like no other. Your skin needs prepping before you book this one.
£170Tri-Modality Bespoke Facial
Three modalities in one appointment, prescribed to what your skin is actually doing on the day.
£170Vampire Facial, PRP
Your own platelet rich plasma, drawn and reintroduced through microneedling.
From £220Enhanced Vampire Facial, PRP
The enhanced protocol, for skin that needs more than the standard treatment gives. We use nano current technology before the microneedling element, so your skin heals better afterwards.
From £250LED add on
Narrow band, non thermal LED added to any of the above. Not UV.
£20Microneedling isn't suitable over active acne, though it is one of the better treatments for acne scarring once the acne itself is settled. We'll show you which stage you're at.
Prescribed as a course,reviewed as we go.
One treatment gives you a glow. A course changes the skin. We plan the course at your consultation and adjust it as your skin responds.
Skin consultation
We look at your skin properly, ask what you have already tried, and find out what you actually want. This allows us to really understand you.
Your customised programme
A course, a schedule and a price, written down, so you know exactly what you're committing to before you commit to it.
The treatment
No anaesthetic is used for microneedling. Most clients find it far more comfortable than they expected.
Review and adjust
Skin changes as it is treated, so the plan is reviewed at each visit rather than repeated blindly.
There shouldn't beany real downtime.
Redness for a few hours, then dryness for a day or two. Plan a quiet evening rather than a week off.
- Same day
- Redness, similar to mild sunburn, usually settling within a few hours.
- Day 1 to 2
- Some dryness and tightness. Keep it simple and keep it moisturised.
- Day 3 onward
- Skin feels smoother. Makeup can go back on.
- Week 4 to 6
- Collagen response continues well after the appointment. This is why it is prescribed as a course.
Preparation and aftercareare as important as the treatment.
We look after the treatment itself. Everything either side of it is yours to look after, and it matters more than most people expect.
Before you come
- Stop retinoids and acid exfoliants five to fourteen days beforehand, as advised.
- No waxing or laser hair removal on the area for one to two weeks beforehand.
- Avoid sunbeds and try to avoid tanning.
- Come with clean skin where you can.
Afterwards
- No makeup for at least four hours, and ideally until the next day.
- Mineral makeup only when you do go back to it.
- Broad spectrum SPF 30 to 50, every day, without exception.
- An intensive moisturiser for the first week.
- No exfoliants, retinoids or vitamin A for five to fourteen days, as advised.
- No sun, sauna, steam or sunbeds for at least seven days.
The ones everybodyasks in the room.
Does it hurt?
It should not, no. Most clients find it strangely enjoyable, and Penny prides herself on her gentle touch.
Is there downtime?
There shouldn't be any real downtime after microneedling. Expect redness for a few hours and some dryness for a day or two.
Can I have it with active acne?
Not over active acne, no. It's one of the better treatments for acne scarring once the acne itself is under control, and we'll show you which stage you're at.
How many will I need?
That depends entirely on your skin and what you're treating. We give you a course, a schedule and a price at your consultation rather than a guess now.
What's the difference between the Vampire Facial and standard microneedling?
The Vampire Facial uses your own platelet rich plasma, drawn on the day and reintroduced through the microneedling. It's the same delivery method with a different active.
Can I have it if I'm pregnant or nursing?
No, not while you're pregnant. We don't carry out microneedling in pregnancy. If you're nursing, tell us at your consultation and we'll advise you honestly.
Who will treat me?
Penny, or one of our fully qualified Level 4 Advanced Skin Therapists.
Start with askin consultation.
You leave with a plan, and you take as long as you need to decide. Once you step through our door the time is all about you. Penny is in clinic Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, nine until six.
A consultation with Penny is £30, and that £30 comes off the cost of your treatment.
