COMBINING THE POWER OF CALECIM® STEM CELL Exosomes WITH Medical Microneedling

Microneedling Treatments for Acne Scars, Vitiligo, Hyperpigmentation and wrinkles

Traditional microneedling is a popular treatment, and for good reason too. It is a natural yet very efective way to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, thin and crepey skin, as well as Vitiligo, hyperpigmentation and sun damaged skin. As a minimally-invasive treatment, you can expect minimal downtime and results that have been shown to be as effective as higher risk laser treatments. The process involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with automated microneedles, triggering an auto-immune healing response to repair damaged and/or ageing skin with the formation of healthy new skin tissue, including collagen and elastin.

Organised, healthy skin remodelling is achieved through increased collagen and elastin production. Healthy skin is restored, scars fade, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced and thinning crepey skin is conditioned. Microneedling has also been shown to break up pigmentation deposits within the skin, making it an alternative or adjunctive treatment to laser or IPL for hyperpigmentation. 

Why Is Lumiere CellRenew Microneedling Treatment Different?

Not All Microneedling Treatments are Created Equal

The CellRenew Medical Microneedling treatment program at Lumiere MediSpa in Oxford offers a distinctive, peer-reviewed, and evidence-based approach to skin health regeneration. Our goal is to restore lost skin confidence through targeted cellular renewal. We enhance standard microneedling treatments by incorporating our proprietary evidence-based protocols and advanced medical skin products.

Before the microneedling stimulation, we utilise superficial chemical skin peeling to prepare the skin effectively. We then provide superior medical microneedling techniques with the Dermapen 4, which is an FDA and CE approved automated medical microneedling device that allows for fast, precise and consistent delivery of thousands of vertical skin channels to be created, ready for active ingredients and stem cell secreted exosome absorption. Calecim exosomes promote skin rebuilding at a cellular level, delivering powerful growth factors and proteins sourced from umbilical cord lining. You will then be bathed under professional LED for further skin activation and soothing relief. This comprehensive approach ensures optimal skin repair outcomes for skin rejuvenation and overall skin health.

What is CALECIM® Professional Serum?

CALECIM®: Cord Lining Conditioned Media

CALECIM® professional serum is the collected exosome and protein mix derived from cord lining cell culture and is classified as an Umbilical Extract. CALECIM® is different from other types of conditioned media as it is derived from high-quality neonatal epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells. It is rich in proteins, exosomes and growth factors responsible for tissue repair and regeneration. In high concentrations, these factors have significant, fast-acting anti-ageing and restorative benefits for the skin.

Microneedling | Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT LIKE?

Before treatment, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area. Although the treatment is not described as painful, it ensures maximum comfort throughout. Following a thorough cleansing of your skin, an acid complex is then applied to the skin. This allows for pre-oxygenation and exfoliation of the skin tissues before microneedling stimulation.

During the microneedling procedure, a condition-specific meso-glide solution and CALECIM® serum will be applied to the treatment area. This not only acts as a glide for the microdeedling device but also treats, hydrates and soothes during the treatment, infusing into deeper layers of the skin.  During the treatment, you may experience a scratching sensation, but it is not generally described as painful. 

CALECIM® Professional serum and barrier protection creams are applied to the skin to encourage a healthy healing process and skin remodelling. You will then lie under the Dermalux LED device, providing a soothing and relaxing feeling.

You will continue applying Calecim Professional and other provided aftercare products at home for a few days, ensuring successful recovery and skin remodelling.

Straight after treatment, your skin will feel hot and tight with a pink sun-burnt appearance. This is normal and is the beginning of the skin healing process, inducing your own growth factors responsible for collagen induction. 

How many treatments will i need?

Results are seen 4 weeks after the first treatment, but depending upon the condition of your skin, a course of 3 is generally advised. Deeper scarring or very thin skin may require up to 8 treatments and will be discussed during your initial consultation. We advise maintaining your results every 6 -12 months with single "booster" treatments.

ARE THERE ANY RISKS?

Fortunately, microneedling treatments are very low risk, but you may encounter some skin changes within the first few days after treatment:

-Your skin may remain pink for 1-3 days after treatment, but is easily covered with make-up after the first day.

-Your skin may feel dry or flaky.

-Mild bruising and swelling can occur, although this is rare.

The Dermapen 4 is both CE and FDA approved, offering a completely sealed needle cartridge, therefore, no body fluids can enter the base, eliminating the risk of any cross-contamination. 

ARE THERE ANY POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS?

Yes, although these will be discussed in greater detail during your appointment:

-Avoid touching the treated area/s for 6 hours after treatment. It is important to maintain good hand hygiene when applying Calecim Professional serum.

-You will be provided with post treatment products, which will include sun protection.  The use of any other products, other than those recommended, may induce skin irritation and complications. Please follow the specific aftercare instructions.

-Avoid UV sun exposure for 2 weeks after treatment, and wear a daily sun protectant with a broad spectrum SPF 30 or above.

-Making a conscious effort to stay hydrated and eating a healthy diet to support your body in its regeneration. Below are some recovery foods that may be useful:

• Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables: As a natural consequence of inflammation, the body will temporarily produce higher levels of free radicals. You can help combat this and support oxidative balance by eating more antioxidant-rich foods such as spinach, kale and other leafy green vegetables, along with fruits like strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.

• Vitamin A-rich foods: Vitamin A is essential for epidermal (skin) growth, aiding in the reproduction and differentiation of cells. It’s also an immune-booster and anti-inflammatory nutrient. Vitamin A-rich foods include kale, spinach, beet greens and other leafy greens, carrots, and squash.

• Vitamin C-rich foods: While you may already know that vitamin C promotes the synthesis of collagen. During wound healing, it also plays an additional role in helping to stabilise the structure of collagen. And on top of this, vitamin C boosts your immune function, sending in special immune cells that can assist with the wound healing process. Vitamin C-rich foods include bell peppers, citrus fruits, tomatoes and tomato juice, mustard, spinach, broccoli, kale, parsley, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.
