WHAT HAPPENS:
Pure, concentrated ingredients, from sealed vials, are applied to the skin followed by an O2 airgun or pulsed jets of oxygen, resulting in the penetration of both the oxygen and vial contents. The extracts are chosen to specifically suit each skin. Our bespoke approach means your treatment can be combined with Peels, Microdermabrasion and LED light therapy for best results.
MORE INFORMATION:
Nora Bode Oxyjet is the original, patented pressurised oxygen treatment that uses innovative German technology to achieve instant skin radiance and glowing hydration. Pulses of 95% oxygen are a needle-free and painless means of ‘injecting’ peptides, retinol, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and other actives deeper into the skin. The result is plump, radiant skin that continues to improve post-treatment, feeding on the reservoir of ingredients deposited.
The skin's barrier function is an important factor in skin health and ageing. When the function of the skin as a protective barrier is impaired it is left vulnerable to pollution, the loss of moisture, increased inflammation and reduced essential biological activity. Oxyjet instantly significantly improves the barrier function of the skin which as a result enhances skin health, helps reduce inflammation and results in a smooth glowing skin surface.

Can I have a LED treatment straight after Microneedling?The answer is almost always, no. Microneedling utilised the bodies inflammatory processes which means anything cooling, calming or anti-inflammatory will counteract results. However, LED is an excellent treatment to have in between Microneedling session as using red and near-infrared wavelengths, LED enhances Microneedling results and stimulates the production of type 3 collagen. Microneedling then converts type 3 collagen into firmer, more supportive type 1 collagen.
-
Does Microneedling make products work more effectively?Yes, Microneedling is an excellent way of aiding the deep penetration of ingredients into the skin. This can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the nature of the product. Some ingredients may be suited for topical use but are not sterile or suited to enter the skin directly. If non-sterile or unsuitable ingredients are microneedled into the skin they will bypass the skin’s sophisticated filtration and defence processes and can result in chronic severe immune reactions (granulomas) and infection. In addition, molecules that are too big can become stuck in the skin long term and potentially cause harm. We do all our Skinpen ® treatments with sterile, sealed, medical grade Mesotherapy or Biorevitaliser products for improved safety and results.
-
Does superficial Microneedling need to be done in a sterile environment?Yes, superficial Microneedling still bypasses some of skins barrier systems, and if not done correctly, can lead to infection and damage.
-
Do all depths of Microneedling result in the same effect?No, superficial Microneedling cannot produce the same regeneration of collagen and rehabilitation of capillaries as deeper Microneedling. It does however release growth factors, improve cell renewal, as well as aid the penetration of the right ingredients into the skin. Superficial needling is a great option to do between deeper Dermapen® sessions, for specific skin concerns, or for those who don't wish to do deep treatments.
-
Do I need topical anaesthetic to have Microneedling?No, you don't but it is certainly an option. Using topical anaesthetics can constricts blood vessels and arguably, work against the efficacy of Microneedling. Allergic reactions, if they occur, are more likely to happen in response to the anaesthetic cream itself rather than to any other part of the treatment. It also adds a half an hour to treatment time. The actual Microneedling part of the treatment only takes about 10 minutes and as a result, most people are fine without anaesthetic. On the pro-side, anaesthetic cream can make deep needling much more comfortable.
-
Can you Microneedle over the top of anaesthetic cream?No, this hasn't been cleared as safe to do. Anaesthetic cream is removed prior to treatment.
-
Will Microneedling improve all skin conditions?No, Microneedling is not a one size fits all procedure. Microneedling is suitable for all skin types but is not the correct choice for treatment on certain skin conditions. Proper consultation and evaluation by a skilled practitioner is essential for safety and best results.
-
How will my skin look after Microneedling treatment?The skin usually looks flushed and feels a little stingy for about two days. This is totally normal. You will look like you have a moderate or mild sunburn, depending on the depth of the Microneedling and your skin type.
