Genuine Dermaroller™
Genuine Dermaroller™ treatment has arrived at Hyde Park Clinic. This is an effective treatment for facial scarring and rather like Intense Pulsed Light can be used also to bring about facial skin rejuvenation, with impressive results.
Your practitioner will use a Genuine Dermaroller™ medical device to produce thousands of micro-medical needle-columns in the skin. Each column will penetrate the dermis of the skin and will be approximately 0.1mm in width. The column will close rapidly enabling the skin to recover quickly – often in the same day. Your practitioner will use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin making the procedure comfortable; it will normally take up to 30 minutes for the topical anaesthetic to work and 20 – 30 minutes for the procedure itself.After a Genuine Dermaroller™ procedure your body will start to naturally regenerate and repair the skin, working below the surface in the dermis. This takes time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and blood supply is enhanced. It can take up to 6 weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen and the process will continue over the following months, providing you with a natural and long lasting enhancement.
Your practitioner will normally recommend that your treatment consists of a series of three procedures with approximately 6 weeks between them.
In the treatment of acne scars and other types of scarring it may be necessary for your practitioner to extend your course of treatment, carrying out up to five procedures.
Immediately after your treatment you will look as though you have moderate sunburn and your skin may feel warm and tighter than usual. This will start to subside after 1 to 2 hours and will normally recover within the same day with only slight redness the following day.Your practitioner may well apply Chiroxy Cream after the procedure to help soothe and calm the skin, continue to use until the redness has cleared.
Use tepid water to cleanse the face for the following 48 hours and dry gently, and always make sure your hands are clean when touching the treated area. It is recommended that standard make up is not applied for 12 hours after the procedure although your practitioner can supply you with specialist mineral make-up that would be suitable for use during this period.
If you will be in daylight immediately after the procedure apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with a SPF50.
AesthetiCare recommend Heliocare Cream or Gel, continue to apply this on a daily basis for at least two weeks even during the winter or on cloudy days.
In the days following your Genuine Dermaroller™ treatment as the skin starts to regenerate and repair it may well feel drier than usual.
