Microneedling is a popular treatment in staying youthful. It’s a procedure that uses fine needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled skin injury in order to rejuvenate skin. It’s also called skin needling, collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI). During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied and then a mechanical derma pen ( we do not use derma rollers) is used to insert tiny needles into the skin to cause microinjuries or punctures. The idea is that the damage caused by the needles encourages your body to send healing agents (elastin and collagen) to the cuts to repair them. By making tiny columns of trauma in the dermis, the body is forced to make new collagen to fill them in and heal them. This new collagen makes skin look and feel slicker, tighter, and more youthful. Nano-needling stimulates collagen production in the skin by safely infusing active ingredients from your serum through tiny nano-channels. This is less invasive with no pain or down time nor a requirement of numbing cream and allows up to 97% product absorption. Please confirm dates and availability with us prior to purchasing Why Train In Micro and Nano Needling? Microneedling is used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues. Almost anyone can have the procedure performed as long as they do not have any active infections, lesions, or any known wound healing problems. Risks involved with receiving microneedling are lower than many other skin treatments, such as chemical peels or light/laser therapies. The procedure is more effective than more aggressive treatments for acne scarring as well as more affordable for clients. There is no downtime with nanoneedling and currently not many estheticians offer this treatment. You can charge between £90- £180 per session (depending on your location) Who Is This Course Suitable For? Those who have NVQ Level 2/3 Beauty.

It literally means the process in which you use instruments to create microscopic abrasions in the skin to remove the thicker top layer of the skin.

Yes, you can do it. Take the 7-day challenge. Alternatively, consider hypnotherapy. Evidence shows hypnosis is far and away the most effective technique of all for stopping smoking and quitting for good - as summarised in New Scientistin 2010 (Lynn, Green, Accardi, & Cleere). Especially when it is carried out with an element of counselling. That is the therapy part of the word hypnotherapy, and why Richard talks about hypnotherapy for stopping smoking and not just hypnosis to quit. Take away a seven-step guide to quitting and, more importantly, the commitment to quit. During the session you will have the opportunity to: Explore why we find it difficult to quit Learn the seven key steps that can help you quit on your own Discover why some people prefer hypnotherapy
