Medical Skin Needling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and Micro-Needling is aimed at stimulating the body’s own collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, skin laxity and scarring such as that caused by acne or chicken pox. It has also been successfully applied to the indication of hair restoration in cases of alopecia. There are a number of different devices, such as manual dermarollers or automated pen-like devices now available to the UK marketplace. The treatment introduces a series of fine, sharp needles into the skin. The needles are attached to a single use, sterile roller which is moved over the surface of the skin to create many microscopic channels or to a cartridge of needles arranged in a circle at the end of an automated device . This damage encourages the body to produce new collagen and elastin which generate new skin cells to repair itself; the skin becomes thicker, plumper and more youthful. Private costs for medical skin needling treatments depend on the area(s) being treated and the type of device being used.

"I have a facial scar which I despise and it affects my confidence. I have seen a few plastic surgeons who said they could not help me. I had almost given up hope when I decided one last time to try and do something about it and contacted Alisha who was very understanding and suggested we try a few methods of treatment. So I had 3 sessions of radio frequency microneedling which was the first step. I then had Botox which relaxed the muscle where the scar sits and then finally I had a small amount of filler where I had lost density around the scar. The scar is now much flatter and I am able to cover it better with makeup. For the first time in 5 years I am feeling much more confident. The scar is now barely noticeable. The skin across my whole forehead has also benefitted from these treatments and it’s taken about 5 years off which was an unexpected benefit! I can’t thank Alisha & Rach enough you are both so lovely and friendly and I will definately recommend you to anybody who is interested in scar treatment or just looking to improve the appearance of their skin"

"During the micro-needling sessions I had at the McLoughlin Face Clinic, my comfort was top priority throughout the treatment. I was given plenty of information on what to expect after the procedure. I am very happy with the results and plan to try other treatments available at the clinic"
