Question 1

Is Facial Microneedling with Salmon DNA treatment safe?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling is a well-established skin-remodelling treatment when performed with a sterile, single-use cartridge at a depth selected for the treatment area and skin concern. At N7 Aesthetics, a medically qualified clinician assesses your skin, medical history and current skincare before treatment. The skin is cleansed thoroughly, sterile technique is used throughout, and treatment depth is adjusted rather than applying one setting to every area. You will receive written aftercare, our direct contact details and 24/7 access to our WhatsApp helpline afterwards.

Question 2

What are the contraindications of Facial Microneedling with Salmon DNA treatment?

Accepted Answer

We will not proceed with facial microneedling with salmon dna where treatment is not clinically appropriate. Contraindications include: pregnancy or breastfeeding; active acne, cold sores, impetigo or another infection in the treatment area; active eczema, psoriasis, rosacea flare or broken and irritated skin; isotretinoin (Roaccutane) use within the last six months; a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring; poorly controlled diabetes, an impaired immune system or a condition that delays wound healing; a bleeding disorder or blood-thinning medication that has not been discussed with your prescriber; recent sunburn, significant sun exposure or a tan in the treatment area; recent laser, peel, waxing or another resurfacing treatment before the skin has fully recovered; known allergy to any topical product or serum used during treatment; unrealistic expectations, or body dysmorphic disorder; a known fish or salmon allergy, or sensitivity to any ingredient in the Salmon DNA serum. This list is not exhaustive, your full medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at consultation, and we will always tell you honestly if we think you should wait or not proceed at all.

Question 3

What are the possible side effects of Facial Microneedling with Salmon DNA treatment?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are usually mild and short-lived. The most common are: redness, warmth, tightness and mild swelling similar to sunburn for 24 to 72 hours; dryness, light flaking, sensitivity or pinpoint crusting during the first few days; small bruises or pinpoint bleeding, particularly where a deeper setting is used; a temporary acne or cold-sore flare in susceptible patients; uncommonly, infection or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially if aftercare and sun protection are not followed; rarely, prolonged redness or scarring; temporary sensitivity, itching or irritation from the topical serum. Serious complications are rare in a medical setting. You will be given full written aftercare, our direct contact details and 24/7 access to our WhatsApp helpline so that anything unexpected can be reviewed quickly.

Question 4

How long does the treatment take?

Accepted Answer

Around 60 minutes, including cleansing, numbing and serum application. Your first appointment always includes an unhurried consultation, so please allow a little longer for that visit.

Question 5

Does the treatment hurt?

Accepted Answer

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most people describe vibration, pressure or a light scratching sensation, with bony areas such as the forehead and jawline feeling sharper. The treatment is generally very manageable, and the needle depth can be adjusted for comfort and clinical need.

Question 6

When will I notice results?

Accepted Answer

Hydration and radiance may be noticeable after the initial redness settles. Texture and firmness improve gradually from four to six weeks as collagen remodelling develops.

Question 7

What is the aftercare for Facial Microneedling with Salmon DNA treatment?

Accepted Answer

Aftercare is simple: keep the treated skin clean and avoid touching it unnecessarily for the rest of the day; do not apply make-up for at least 24 hours and use only clean brushes or applicators afterwards; use a gentle cleanser and bland moisturiser, avoiding retinoids, acids, vitamin C, scrubs and fragranced products until the skin has settled; wear broad-spectrum SPF 50 every day, reapply it and avoid direct sun and sunbeds while healing; avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas, steam rooms and hot showers for 48 hours; do not pick or exfoliate any dryness, flaking or pinpoint crusting; avoid waxing, peels, laser and other active facial treatments until the skin has fully recovered. We provide written aftercare instructions after every appointment and review you at two weeks so we can check the result together.

Question 8

How long do results typically last for?

Accepted Answer

Results build throughout the course and may last 12 months or longer, depending on age, skin condition, lifestyle and skincare. Periodic maintenance can help sustain them.

Question 9

How many treatments do I need?

Accepted Answer

A single session provides a boost. A course of three sessions, four to six weeks apart, is usually recommended; six sessions may suit more established texture or scarring concerns following assessment.
