Before and After
Treatment Information
Microneedling regenerates and remodels your skin.
Rejuvenation is stimulated through over 98,000 micro-channels delivered per minute; your wound healing response is triggered, promoting healing and reparations within the skin, reducing imperfections and remodelling scarring. The increased collagen and elastin production also gives a lasting plumping effect, tightening sagging skin.
At Oasis Wellbeing Clinic we use the Skin Pen Precision, this is the safest microneedling device available with its unique 100% sealed disposable cartridges, and is the only FDA and CE-approved device of its kind.
FAQ's Microneedling
How Does The Treatment Work?
Microneedling at Oasis is performed with SkinPen Precision, a medical device, which treats aging skin, scars, and imperfections in the skin.
As the skin ages the natural architecture of our skin deteriorates, this deterioration leads to fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and an uneven skin texture.
SkinPen comfortably creates thousands of micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural wound healing process. This process results in skin remodeling, including the formation of collagen and elastin, the two proteins predominantly responsible for the healthy structure of the skin.
Skin Types
Microneedling is safe for all skin types.
Areas For Treatment
Microneedling is an effective treatment for all areas of the body and face. Most treatments are performed on the face, neck, décolletage, and areas on the body prone to scarring and stretch marks.
Test Patch
A test patch is required if you would like to use a numbing agent.

Number of Sessions
Typically 3-6 procedures are recommended for optimal results.
Procedures are performed every 4 weeks.
When Will I See Results?
The skin will begin to rejuvenate from the first session, however, the final results cannot be viewed immediately because new collagen continues to be laid down for approx. 3-6 months after treatment has ceased.
How Long Do The Results Last?
The results gained from micorneedling are permanent, however, your skin is still subject to usual ageing deterioration.
We recommend twice yearly top-ups to prolong your results
Is There Any Pain?
When performing facial anti-aging treatments the skin may feel warm post-treatment, similar to a sunburn.
Scar/stretch mark treatments require a numbing agent.
Do I Need To Prepare For Treatment?
To avoid unwanted side effects it is important that you do not have any of the following 2 weeks prior to treatment:
- an active sunburn
- other aesthetic treatments
- recent use of strong AHA’s, BHA’s, acids, or retinol
We do advise you, however, to:
- use SPF on the treatment area
