MICRONEEDLING STOCKHOLM

Microneedling

We at A Beauty Light work with microneedling in Stockholm, Södermalm. A microneedling treatment results in an instrument equipped with sterile disposable needles making thousands of holes in the skin with an automatically vibrating function. When the micropen is moved over the surface of the skin, it stimulates new production of natural collagen, at the same time as microchannels are created in the skin. The channels increase the skin’s absorption capacity of nutrients and moisture. This ensures an effective absorption of the treatment preparations we use, which then penetrate deep into the skin. The skin’s production of natural elastic components increases. The structure of the skin improves and rejuvenates, both in terms of the top layer of skin and deeper down in the dermis.

Microneedling effectively treats i.a. scar tissue, tired and dull skin, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles.

Microneedling | A deep medical treatment

Medical Micro Needling treatment is performed using the micropen. A sterile disposable cartridge consisting of small pointed applicators (maximum length 2.5 mm) creates a deep scrub that can perform a strong mechanical renewal of the skin thanks to the stimulation of the epidermis “stratum corneum.

A deep medical needling for the treatment of:

Skin rejuvenation, fine lines and wrinkles. Pigmentation and sun damage. Rosacea, superficial blood vessels. Stretch marks. Large pores. Acne & Acne Scars. Militia.

– First we clean the skin and restore the ph value.
– Then we perform a chemical peel, Fillmed by Filorga Light-peel, and sterilize the skin.
– During the microneedling itself, we add medical serum – Vitamin cocktail*.
– Finally, a moisturizing face mask to restore balance and calm skin irritation and LED light.

ATTENTION! Anesthetic ointment such as Tapin or Emla is recommended to be applied 20-30 min before the treatment. This can be bought at Apoteket without a prescription.

Avoid active products containing AHA, BHA, or PHA acids, retinoids, alcohol, or hydroquinone for at least one week after your treatment.
