Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This helps support the skin’s natural renewal process and can improve the look of texture and tone over a series of sessions. If you’re searching for microneedling in Bolton or “microneedling near me,” our consultation helps determine if it’s appropriate for you.
Is microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Many skin types can be treated; suitability is confirmed during a face-to-face consultation. We review medical history, current skincare, and goals to ensure safe practice. Some conditions (e.g., active acne, certain medications, pregnancy) may mean microneedling isn’t appropriate.
What’s the downtime and aftercare for microneedling?
Mild redness and sensitivity can occur for 24–72 hours. Aftercare typically includes gentle cleansing, broad-spectrum SPF, and avoiding heat/saunas, exfoliants, and vigorous exercise for a short period. Your practitioner will provide tailored guidance. Individual experiences vary.
What is a skin booster treatment?
A skin booster is a hydrating injectable designed to support skin quality (e.g., glow, smoothness, suppleness). If you’re looking for a skin booster in Bolton or “skin booster near me,” we offer consultation-led options. Some products may be prescription-only and require assessment by a qualified prescriber.
Microneedling vs. skin booster—how do I choose?
Microneedling supports overall skin renewal from micro-channels; skin boosters focus on deep hydration and quality. Your consultation reviews goals (texture, fine lines, glow, specific concerns) and helps map a treatment plan. Results and timelines vary by individual.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans are personalised. Some clients schedule a short series (e.g., a few microneedling sessions spaced weeks apart) or periodic maintenance for skin boosters. Your practitioner will recommend cadence during your consultation; outcomes vary by skin type and lifestyle.
Do you offer skin treatment consultations in Bolton?
Yes—if you’re searching for a skin treatment near me or an aesthetics clinic near me, we provide consultation-led care in Bolton. We review goals, suitability, and aftercare so you can make an informed decision.
How long is an appointment and what should I bring?
Appointment length varies by treatment and consultation needs. Please bring a list of current skincare, allergies, and relevant medical information. Arrive with clean skin and avoid makeup if advised. Your practitioner will confirm timing during booking.
What about patch tests and contraindications?
Patch testing or sensitivity checks may be recommended depending on the treatment and your history. Certain conditions may mean a treatment isn’t appropriate; we’ll review this with you beforehand.
How much is the deposit and is it deducted?
A £50 deposit secures your appointment and is deducted from your final treatment price on the day. Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule so the deposit can be moved to a new slot.
