At Bahati Aesthetics, we believe in treatments that deliver real results. We focus on outcome-based procedures that truly improve your skin’s health and appearance. Two of our most popular and effective treatments are microneedling and Fraxel. Let’s delve into how these innovative procedures work their magic and what you can expect.

Microneedling: Stimulating Your Skin’s Natural Powerhouse

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This might sound intimidating, but these micro-injuries are the key to triggering your skin’s natural healing process. Think of it as a gentle nudge that encourages your skin to regenerate and rejuvenate itself.   

When the microneedles penetrate the skin, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin – two essential proteins that give your skin its structure, elasticity, and youthful bounce. As we age, the production of these proteins naturally declines, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Microneedling effectively counteracts this process by jumpstarting collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.   

Microneedling effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles   
• Acne scars and other scars   
• Large pores   
• Uneven skin tone and texture   
• Stretch marks   

During a microneedling treatment, we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The device gently glides over your skin, creating the micro-channels. You might experience a slight prickling sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. After the procedure, your skin might appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours. You can usually resume your normal activities immediately, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for a short period.   

Fraxel: Precision Laser Resurfacing

Fraxel is a revolutionary laser treatment that uses fractional laser technology to target specific areas of the skin. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which removes the entire top layer of skin, Fraxel treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This innovative approach significantly reduces downtime and minimises the risk of side effects.   

The Fraxel laser delivers microscopic columns of laser energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process effectively replaces damaged skin with fresh, rejuvenated skin, resulting in a noticeable improvement in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.   

Fraxel is highly effective for treating:

• Sun damage and age spots   
• Fine lines and wrinkles   
• Acne scars and surgical scars   
• Uneven skin tone and texture   
• Melasma (hyperpigmentation)   

Both microneedling and Fraxel offer significant improvements to your skin’s health and appearance. At Bahati Aesthetics, we will work with you to determine the best treatment plan to address your specific concerns and achieve your desired results. We are committed to providing you with safe, effective, and results-driven treatments that help you look and feel your best.
