Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types.  However, if you are pregnant or have eczema, psoriasis, diabetes or other chronic conditions, we would advise you to consult your GP first.

Most people do not need to take any time off work after the procedure, although you may experience some redness for 12- 48 hours.

No, we would definitely advise you to leave this treatment in the hands of trained professionals.   Although you may see at-home "dermaroller" kits for sale, these generally have shorter needles and are simply designed to enhance the absorption of skin care products.   They will not create the micro-injuries and transformative healing that a professional treatment brings about.

There are also health and safety risks associated with attempting microneedling procedures at home, which could lead to injury or infection.   It's far better to leave the treatment to our skin care experts, who will assess your skin, ensure that microneedling is the best treatment for your requirements, and prepare your skin properly to achieve the best possible results.

Although microneedling might sound painful, the reality is that most clients experience little or no discomfort.  We will discuss this with you at your initial consultation and can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area if needed.

Straight after the treatment, you are likely to experience some redness, like you have been out in the sun.  Your skin will feel warm and may feel tight.  These symptoms pass quickly and normally diminish considerably within the same day.  You will experience only slight redness on the following day, if at all.

We will supply full advice when you come in for your consultation but these are the key points to remember:

• Do not touch the treatment area immediately after your microneedling procedure
• Wash the treatment area gently in tepid water only for the first 48 hours
• Pat dry with a clean towel
• Do not wear makeup for at least 12 hours after treatment
• Use a high factor SPF in the days following the treatment
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 hours.

Although the face is the most commonly chosen area for microneedling treatments, they can be carried out anywhere on the body which would benefit from skin tightening or scar reduction, including acne scarring.   Treatment areas can include the neck, décolleté and hands as well as the thighs, buttocks, back and abdomen.

LED Phototherapy is the application of beneficial light wave lengths into the skin’s deepest layers to energise our cells with proven rejuvenating results.

The application of light to the skin prompts a natural response similar to that of plant photo-synthesis through a process known as photobiomodulation.  Skin cells that are energised function better and can regenerate up to 200% faster which in turn leads to a more youthful, healthy and radiant complexion.

No, light therapy is a gentle, relaxing treatment.   After your treatment you may experience some redness, however, this will only last a few days.

We know that on-going exposure to UV light is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial.

By using the very latest generation LED technology, Dermalux® ensures a safe and targeted delivery of light at the optimum intensity for maximum skin enhancing results.

Dermalux® is heat free, chemical free and does not harm the skin. It has an excellent safety profile and is beneficial for all skin types without downtime.

Phototherapy is another name for LED Light Therapy.  Absorption of light occurs naturally on a day-to-day basis and the skin uses it to fuel natural rejuvenation and repair processes.

Phototherapy is based on this natural processes.  It uses different wave lengths of light to stimulate different effects in the skin.  We know that on-going exposure to UV light is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial to the skin.

Yes, blue light has an anti-bacterial action, making it a very effective treatment for acne.

Light at this wavelength can treat spots without causing any further irritation, improve skin clarity and calm the skin, reducing redness.

Yes, the red light therapy has been proven to treat symptoms of aging including fine lines and wrinkles, skin discolouration and age spots.

Red light stimulates skin cells known as fibroblasts.  These help to make collagen, which is part of the skin's natural recovery process and promotes and smoother complexion.

We recommend using the therapy as part of your overall skin care regime, and we can recommend the correct products and treatments to complement your light therapy treatment.

While there's no cure for psoriasis, red light therapy has been clinically proven to be helpful in easing the symptoms, including reducing itchiness, flaking and swelling.

Although you will see immediate and visible results after just one treatment, with LED Phototherapy the results are cumulative and improve over a course of treatments.

For optimum results, we recommend an 8 week programme of 12 treatments  appearance and health of the skin.   The improvements to your skin's health and appearance will last up to 12 weeks following a programme of treatments.  We recommend regular booster treatments after this to maintain the results.

AnteAGE Microneedling is a highly effective treatment because the serum and microneedling work together, each enhancing the results of the other.

This is a safe, scientifically proven procedure which results visible after only one session including:

• Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
• Plumper, younger looking skin
• Improved skin texture
• Reduced pore size
• Visible reduction of any scars

You will see results after just one treatment.  The amount of time these take to emerge varies from patient to patient, but can take as little as 4 days.   In other patients it can take 30 to 90 days to see the full results as your skin heals and regenerates.

This is a controlled and precise treatment.  You may experience some pinprick bleeding from the microneedling, but this will stop quickly.  Your skin may be red for 24 hours after treatment, but this will subside quickly.

Downtime is minimal.  Any redness or swelling should subside within 48 hours.

Although microneedling might sound painful, the reality is that most clients experience little or no discomfort.  We will discuss this with you at your initial consultation and can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area if needed.

We will supply you with AnteAGE home care products to boost the effects of your treatment.  This will be discussed at your initial consultation.

General advice following any microneedling treatment is :

• Do not touch the treatment area immediately after your microneedling procedure
• Wash the treatment area gently in tepid water only for the first 48 hours
• Pat dry with a clean towel
• Do not wear makeup for at least 12 hours after treatment
• Use a high factor SPF in the days following the treatment
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 hours.

BioRePeel can be used safely on all areas of the body.

Yes, unlike some other chemical peels, BioRePeel is safe for use on all skin types and skin colours.

No.  You may feel a slight tingling sensation but most clients feel nothing at all.

You will see the difference after just one session, but for optimum results we recommend a course of  4 - 6 treatments.  We will discuss this with you at your initial consultation.
