Microneedling has become a go-to solution for rejuvenating the skin, offering noticeable improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance. This non-invasive treatment addresses concerns like fine lines, scars, and enlarged pores, making it a popular choice for those seeking a radiant complexion. However, not all microneedling treatments are created or performed equally. Choosing a doctor-led clinic, like Aesthetic Astute, ensures a superior experience and better outcomes. One critical aspect of this is the use of topical numbing cream—an essential step that Dr. Danielle Richards insists on for every procedure.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
Microneedling is commonly used to treat:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne and surgical scars
Uneven skin tone and texture
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks
Doctor-Led Microneedling: What Makes it Unique?
At Aesthetic Astute, Dr. Danielle Richards offers a personalised, safe, and results-driven microneedling experience. Here’s what sets a doctor-led treatment apart:
1. Pain Management with Numbing Cream
A common misconception is that numbing cream might reduce the effectiveness of microneedling. This is not true. In fact, numbing cream enhances the treatment by allowing for deeper and more effective penetration of the microneedling device. Why? Because client comfort is crucial. The numbing cream ensures the procedure is as painless as possible, allowing Dr. Richards to work at optimal depths without causing unnecessary discomfort. This deeper penetration stimulates collagen production more effectively, leading to significantly improved results.
2. Medical Expertise and Tailored Treatments
Dr. Richards brings her extensive medical training to each session, tailoring the procedure to your specific skin concerns and medical history. A thorough pre-treatment consultation ensures your skin is ready for microneedling, reducing risks and enhancing results.
3. Advanced Technology and Techniques
Doctor-led clinics like Aesthetic Astute use medical-grade devices capable of deeper penetration compared to those found in non-medical clinics. Additionally, treatments can be paired with advanced therapies, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or medical-grade serums, to further amplify results.
4. Stringent Safety Standards
Under Dr. Richards’ care, every step of the process follows strict safety and hygiene protocols. This includes a 2-week skin prep program to optimize your skin for treatment and a post-care plan to support healing and enhance results.
Misconceptions About Numbing Cream
There’s a common belief that using numbing cream might interfere with microneedling’s effectiveness. The truth is the opposite: numbing cream doesn’t reduce effectiveness—it enhances it. Here’s why:
Allows for Deeper Treatment: With practitioner-only strength numbing cream, Dr. Richards can adjust the microneedling device to penetrate deeper into the skin, addressing more severe concerns like deep scars or wrinkles.
Enhances Comfort: Painless treatments mean a stress-free experience, allowing clients to relax while achieving better results.
Improves Outcomes: Deeper penetration stimulates collagen and elastin more effectively, providing a noticeable improvement in skin quality.
At Aesthetic Astute, client comfort and results go hand in hand. Dr. Richards’ use of high-quality topical numbing cream ensures that every treatment is thorough, effective, and as comfortable as possible.
Non-Medical Clinics: The Risks
While many beauty clinics offer microneedling, the level of expertise and care can vary widely. Here are the key differences:
1. Inconsistent Pain Management
Non-medical clinics may skip numbing cream or use low-quality products, leading to discomfort during the procedure. Without proper pain management, technicians often avoid deeper settings, limiting the treatment’s effectiveness.
2. Limited Training
Technicians in beauty clinics may lack the medical training required to customise treatments or address complications, leading to subpar results or even adverse effects.
3. Basic Equipment
Devices in non-medical settings cannot often penetrate deeply, making them less effective for treating significant skin concerns.
