Tina Prajapat is one of the leading bridal hair and makeup artists in Northwest London, but her talents stretch far beyond that of getting brides ready for their big day. This beauty guru has recently added micro-needling to her list of services and it is one of only a few that are offering this type of treatment in the greater London area. Speaking at a recent beauty convention, Prajapat highlighted some of the benefits of this treatment and announced the addition of this treatment to her service offering.

“Microneedling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy is fast becoming a popular facial treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne scarring,” says Tina Prajapat, Director of Tina Prajapat Hair and Makeup. “It’s a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses very fine needles to cause micro trauma to the skin by puncturing the top layers with either a roller or automatic pen device. This action stimulates the skin to release growth factors which in turn stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to start healing the skin from the trauma it thinks is happening. By causing this reaction within the skin you can start to heal scar tissue and plump out fine lines.”

The treatment that Prajapat offers uses hexagonal-shaped needles in a micro-needling pen as this is believed to make the treatment less painful, therefore there’s no need for numbing cream which is better for the skin. Before needling the skin, Prajapat herself will assess your skin's needs and apply an appropriate serum, or a mixture of serums, which will penetrate deep into the microchannels made in the skin during the treatment. No blood is drawn as the needles go deep enough to stimulate the healing process without drawing blood. Occasionally a little blood spotting can occur and the skin can appear a little red but these are all normal reactions. Prajapat aims to create enough stimulation without creating too much inflammation.

Results can start to show after approximately three weeks as the skin starts to go through the healing and remodeling stages. A minimum course of 3 treatments is recommended every four to six weeks although some skin conditions may need an average of six to ten treatments. The effects should last up to two years but maintenance can be done periodically to keep the skin actively rejuvenating.

The micro-needling treatment from this local makeup artist and beauty expert is one of only a few offered in the greater London area and is a fantastic option for those interested in revolutionary skincare.
