NCTF hydration facial (microneedling) at Harley Street
My entry-level facial: microneedling with NCTF 135HA for hydration and a fresh glow.
What it is
Fine-needle microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin so NCTF 135HA can work more deeply. NCTF 135HA combines hyaluronic acid with vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to improve hydration and give a fresh glow. It's a good first treatment if you're new to clinic skincare, and a medical alternative to a salon facial. Suits a pre-event refresh or regular maintenance.
Who it may suit
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Uneven texture and enlarged pores
- A pre-event glow
Part of the 360° Approach
I'll consider this treatment as part of a plan for your whole face, so it's balanced with everything else and you only have what you need.
Risks and aftercare
Common: redness, dryness and mild sensitivity. Uncommon: infection or pigment changes. All risks are discussed at consultation.
Questions
Is it painful?
Most people find it very manageable. Numbing cream or anaesthetic is used where suitable.
Can I have treatment on the day of my consultation?
Usually you'll have time to think about your plan first. If you've already had full information and want to go ahead, we can discuss it.
Who can't have this treatment?
It isn't suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, for under-18s, or with some medical conditions and medicines. I check this at consultation.
