Main Text
Medical Skin Needling is an extremely popular aesthetic treatment which is used to remove skin blemishes such as skin tags, milia, age spots and warts. The treatment is quick and effective and for most people, once the blemish is removed, it doesn’t grow back. Patients may sometimes require a second treatment of the same lesion but will rarely need to return for treatment in the future.
Aesthetic treatments such as miraDry can produce lasting results for those who suffer with excessive underarm sweating after just one 60-minute session. This treatment provides up to 82% permanent sweat reduction, with only around 10% of patients requiring a second session for optimal results. Once complete, this treatment does not need to be repeated as the sweat glands are completely removed.
Maintenance vs. Overuse of Aesthetic Treatments
Many aesthetic treatments designed to enhance your natural features, often require occasional or regular sessions to uphold the effects. However, it’s important not to go overboard. You need to distinguish between necessary maintenance and overusing these treatments.
Overusing some aesthetic treatments can do more harm than good, especially with procedures such as dermal fillers or Botox. If Botox is overused, and injected into the muscle more regularly than 12 week intervals, it can affect the success of future treatments.
Take lip fillers, for example. While regular sessions can help build and maintain volume in your lips, adding filler when it’s not needed is excessive. This can cause the filler to migrate, moving away from where it was originally injected because the lips are overfilled. Lip filler migration can create an unnatural and overdone appearance.
A responsible practitioner will advise against overusing these treatments but unfortunately, not all professionals follow this practice. This is why at MediZen we always recommend you to thoroughly research and choose a qualified and reputable professional. They should guide you on the number of sessions they personally believe you would benefit from. Striking the right balance is key to achieving natural and desirable results without overdoing it.
