FAQ

 

.

HOW DOES SKIN NEEDLING WORK?

 A Dermapen or Dermaroller device is used which contains many tiny needles that gently pierce the surface layer of the skin. The device is rolled over the skin to create a microscopic injury which in turn stimulates the healing and repair cells within the skin to produce collagen and elastin. Different depths of needles are used dependant on concerns of the individual and the results we are looking to achieve. 

HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

 Microneedling is minimally invasive with very little downtime, slight redness, swelling and irritation may occur for a few days after the procedure, very occasionally mild bruising may appear. 

DOES IT HURT?

A numbing cream will be applied to the area before the procedure which helps manage any discomfort you may feel. 

IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?

Yes, it is a safe treatment. 

HOW LONG WILL THE PROCEDURE TAKE?

 The treatment will take approximately 45- 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

WILL I SEE RESULTS QUICKLY?

It depends on what skin condition you are treating usually you will need more than one treatment, typically improvements in tone and texture is visible following second or third treatment. Certain skin conditions will need more treatments. 

WHO CAN HAVE THE TREATMENT?

Suitable for most people. Exclusions: under the age of 18 years, pregnancy or breastfeeding, history of keloid scarring, undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, known wound healing problems. 

HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?

Skin is living, dynamic tissue always growing and changing as we age and every person’s skin reacts differently to injury. So, there is no precise answer yet following your treatments it is expected that a maintenance programme where a 3-6 monthly procedure is undertaken.

I had been looking for a good skin care routine and heard about Truth treatments which I found through Medifine. I have recently, intentionally, lost quite a lot of weight and have been worried about the weight loss reflecting badly on my face. I also had rosacea on my cheeks and around my nose. I started a couple of months ago using the vitamin C serum during the day and the balm at night which I apply with the Mineral mist along with the Hyaluronic Mineral Hydrator . Once a week I use the 1% retinol and also take all three Truth Treatment supplements every day. It has taken me a while to get used to the dosing and not using too much of the product as it is very concentrated but the transformation in my skin is remarkable. The Rosacea has practically disappeared and my complexion has a really glowing appearance and my skin feels incredibly soft. I have had lots of people commenting on how great my skin looks. I want to work my way up to using the stronger 5% Retinol but am taking things slowly by just using the 1% for a while until my skin gets used to Retinol. I have also just started using the AHA energizing mineral exfoliator and will hope to slowly build up to using this a couple of times a week. Medifine have been great to deal with and despatch my orders really promptly so I get the products very quickly through the post and they are very helpful and offer lots of advice about how to use the products.

Really appreciate the considerate customer service and the fact that they carry lines like Truth Treatments and Osmosis that are not readily available in Europe.

I've been shopping at Medifine for a long time. I always get competent advice from Lucy. She takes a lot of time and patience to answer my questions by email. The products are sent to me to Germany without any problems. I am excited and grateful.
