  • Dermapen™ Microneedling | Epicare Health

    .. < Back Dermapen™ Microneedling From £99 What is it? Dermapen microneedling is an advanced, minimally invasive skin and hair renewal treatment. We use the Dermapen, the world's most advanced microneedling device, which utilises a sterile 16-needle cartridge to vertically pierce the skin. This process glides over the skin, creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than traditional devices. How it works: These invisible micro-injuries trigger your body's natural healing response. This stimulates the rapid production of collagen and elastin—the essential structural proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful. Enhanced Absorption: Because these micro-channels are temporarily open, your skin can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the dermis. This significantly enhances the absorption and effectiveness of powerful regenerative treatments like Hyaluronic Acid, PRP, and Exosomes. Procedure Cleanse and Sterilize: The skin is double cleansed to remove impurities, followed by sterilizing the area to ensure it’s perfectly clean and safe for treatment. Apply Meso-Glide or Serum: We apply a silky, nutrient-rich serum to help the Dermapen glide comfortably over your skin while infusing active ingredients deep below the surface. Perform Dermapen Microneedling: The device is passed over the skin, creating micro-injuries. In response, blood vessels expand, and white blood cells clean up damaged cells while releasing growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production. Aftercare: The application of products like Dp Dermaceuticals Cover Recover will seal and heal the skin, covering any redness to allow for an immediate return to work or daily activities. Product administered Microneedling is usually done with Hyalauronic acid as a gliding agent. However, this can be done with other agents at an extra cost. Hyaluronic acid Plasma (Enhanced PRP) - Additional £140 - This cost includes phlebotomy and centrifugation of the sample Exosomes (MG-EXO-SKIN™) - Additional £140. Exosomes are tiny, highly intelligent cellular messengers containing biomolecules like proteins and lipids. When infused during microneedling, they act as a regenerative force that promotes regulated wound healing, boosts collagen synthesis, and inhibits scar formation. Other - please enquire by clicking here Timeline and Expected Results The Glow-Up: Results typically may be seen after just one clinical procedure.

  • Polynucleotides (Lumi Eyes) | Epicare Health

    .. < Back Polynucleotides (Lumi Eyes) From £129 What is it? Polynucleotide treatment is a non-invasive, injectable skin therapy aimed at rejuvenating and repairing the skin. It uses polynucleotides—naturally derived DNA fragments—to stimulate cell regeneration, improve skin hydration, and enhance elasticity. These agents help to attract water molecules to the skin, boosting hydration levels while also promoting collagen production. For this reason, polynucleotides are defined as bio-restructuring compounds, that not only nourish and protect cells, but above all stimulate an increase in production and efficient reproduction thus considerably reducing the aging process. Procedure The procedure involves the micro-injection of a polynucleotide solution into the dermis or subcutaneous tissue using fine needles, with cannulas occasionally used for delicate areas like under-eyes to minimize bruising. The treatment is minimally invasive, with injections targeting specific areas to promote skin rejuvenation. Product administered We also use Lumi Eyes for our polynucleotide treatments. This specialized formula is designed to rejuvenate and repair the delicate under-eye area, providing deep hydration, reducing dark circles, and improving skin elasticity. Lumi Eyes helps stimulate collagen production and enhances skin regeneration for a refreshed and youthful appearance. Lumi Eyes vs. Nucleofill Eyes – Comparison Table Feature Lumi Eyes (Dermaren) Nucleofill Eyes (Nucleofill) Main Ingredient Polynucleotides (PDRN from salmon DNA) Highly purified long-chain polynucleotides Primary Purpose Brightening, deep hydration, reducing dark circles and puffiness Lifting, firming, biostimulation, reducing wrinkles and fine lines Best For Dark circles, tired-looking eyes, dehydration Loose skin, fine lines, mild ptosis (drooping), periocular rejuvenation Mechanism of Action Deep hydration and tissue regeneration, stimulates fibroblasts to repair under-eye skin Lifting effect through collagen stimulation, improves skin elasticity Hydration Effect High Moderate Lifting & Tightening Mild Strong Treatment Sessions 1–3 sessions (4 weeks apart) 2–4 sessions (2–3 weeks apart) Longevity of Results ~6 months ~6–12 months Downtime Minimal (some swelling for 24-48 hours) Mild swelling, possible bruising for a few days Needle Depth Superficial (mesotherapy technique) Deeper (injection into reticular dermis) Timeline and Expected Results Results from Lumi Eyes treatment develop gradually. Initial improvements, such as enhanced hydration and reduced puffiness, are noticeable within 2–4 weeks. Full effects, including smoother skin, reduced dark circles, and softened fine lines, become visible at 6–12 weeks. Although you can achieve a flawless outcome in just one session, a course of 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, which typically last 6–12 months. What does it help with? Anti-aging and fine lines Dark circles and dullness Loss of skin elasticity Dehydration and weakened skin barrier Skin texture and tone concerns Appointment duration 60 mins Precautions and possible side effects Swelling after the procedure is a common response to many aesthetic treatments. This occurs due to the needle's penetration and the volume of product placed just beneath the skin under the eyes. However, every client reacts differently—some may not experience any swelling, while others might notice puffiness. In most cases, any swelling should gradually subside within 7 to 14 days.

Heart Health: Total Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. This includes low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is used to produce hormones for development, growth and reproduction. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is considered ‘bad’ cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol build-up and blockage in the arteries. Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio is a mathematical calculation which indicates the ratio of total cholesterol versus ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. Triglyceride is another type of fat (not the same as cholesterol) found in the bloodstream. HDL percentage. This is the percentage of Total Cholesterol that consists of ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol. Liver Health: Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and bone. Abnormal levels of this enzyme can be a sign of liver or bone disease. Alanine Transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart, kidneys and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart, kidneys and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidney. It is important for the metabolism of drugs, alcohol and other toxins. GGT tests can be used to detect problems with metabolism such as excessive alcohol intake and problems with the organs where it is found. Total Bilirubin can be found in bile and red blood cells. Total bilirubin tests can be used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases and some types of anaemia. Albumin is a protein produced in the liver. It has many functions such as transporting hormones, vitamins and medications throughout the body. Albumin tests can be used to help diagnose and monitor diseases of the liver and kidney.

Ferritin tests are used to help diagnose anaemia and liver disease. Thyroid Health: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is made by the pituitary gland in the brain to stimulate the thyroid gland (located by the throat). The hormones that are produced by the thyroid regulate weight, body temperature and muscle strength. Levels of TSH are an indicator of thyroid disease and are commonly tested with Free T4. Free T4 (free thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This hormone is involved in several body functions including metabolism and growth. It can be used for the diagnosis of thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism as well as aiding the diagnosis of female infertility problems. Free T4 is commonly tested with TSH. Free T3 (free triiodothyronine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid glands. This hormone is involved in several body functions including metabolism. It can be used to aid the diagnosis of thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism. Free T3 is commonly tested with Free T4 and TSH. Antithyroglobulin Antibodies (Anti-Tg) are produced by the immune system as a defence mechanism to protect the thyroid against foreign invaders. Autoimmune conditions will increase the amount of anti-Tg in the body, attacking healthy thyroid cells. Anti-Tg tests are used to diagnose thyroid disorders and are an indicator for autoimmune conditions. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (Anti-TPO) are produced by the immune system as a defence mechanism to protect the thyroid against foreign invaders. Autoimmune conditions will increase the amount of anti-TPO in the body, attacking healthy thyroid cells. Anti-TPO tests are used to diagnose thyroid disorders and are an indicator for autoimmune conditions. Hormonal Health: Oestradiol is a form of oestrogen and the main female hormone produced by non-pregnant women. The hormone has an important role in the development of female physical features and reproductive functions. Oestradiol tests are used for the evaluation of ovarian functions. It can also be used to diagnose the cause of precocious and delayed puberty in girls as well as used to monitor hormone replacement therapy in peri-pausal and menopausal women. Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) a reproductive hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. FSH stimulates the growth and development of unfertilised eggs during the menstrual cycle in women and initiates the production of sex hormones such as oestradiol and progesterone. FSH is also used to stimulate the production of sperm in men. The FSH hormone is often tested with other sex hormones such as LH, testosterone, oestradiol and progesterone for diagnose infertility and pituitary gland disorders in men and women. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a reproductive hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. This hormone is used to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation by stimulating the ovaries to produce other reproductive hormones in females whereas in men, LH stimulates and controls testosterone. The LH test is used to determine any reproductive problems. Progesterone plays an important role in preparing a female body for pregnancy. This test can help to assess if a woman is ovulating normally and should be done on day 21 into a cycle. Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the male testes and the adrenal glands in both men and women. This hormone production is stimulated and controlled by the luteinizing hormone. Testosterone is seen in large amounts in boys during puberty, causing the growth of body hair and muscle development. It also regulates the male sex drive and maintains muscle mass. It is found in small amounts in females from the ovary. The testosterone test is used to diagnose various conditions such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary glands in the brain. The main role of prolactin is to promote lactation (breast milk production) in women during pregnancy and after childbirth. A prolactin test is used to diagnose infertility in both men and women as well as menstrual problems and erectile dysfunction. Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the male testes and the adrenal glands in both men and women. This hormone production is stimulated and controlled by the luteinizing hormone. Testosterone is seen in large amounts in boys during puberty, causing the growth of body hair and muscle development. It also regulates the male sex drive and maintains muscle mass. It is found in small amounts in females from the ovary. Testosterone test is used to diagnose various conditions such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver. Its main function is to bind and transport the hormones oestradiol, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the blood. The SHBG test is used to diagnose testosterone deficiency in men and is used to investigate the production of testosterone in women. Free Androgen Index (FAI) is a calculation used to estimate the amount of biologically active testosterone in the blood. It's determined by comparing the total testosterone level to the level of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), a protein that binds to testosterone. A higher FAI indicates more free testosterone, which can be important in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. Nutritional Health: Vitamin D is a vitamin which is used in the regulation of calcium and magnesium absorption from the gut, it is also important for the growth and health of bones. Vitamin D comes from two sources; it can be ingested from foods and supplements or be produced in the skin once it is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D tests are used to identify vitamin D deficiency and to monitor diseases that interfere with fat absorption like Crohn’s disease. Iron Status: Iron is a mineral which is needed for making red blood cells, which transports oxygen in the blood, and which is important for healthy muscles, bone marrow and healthy organ function. Low levels of iron can indicate anaemia whereas high levels can indicate liver disease. Ferritin is a blood protein that is used to store iron. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Ferritin is measured to understand how much iron the body is storing. Ferritin tests are used to help diagnose anaemia and liver disease. Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Total Iron Binding Capacity tests are used to determine iron status and its absorption from the gut. They can be helpful for diagnosing Anaemia and iron overload conditions such as Haemochromatosis. Your TIBC may be impaired if you also have existing liver disease. Transferrin is an iron-binding protein that is produced by the liver. It is used to transport iron which transports oxygen in the blood. Transferrin tests are used to determine iron status and can be used to diagnose anaemia Transferrin saturation is a blood test that measures how much iron is bound to transferrin, a protein that carries iron in the bloodstream. It's a key indicator of iron status in the body. Diabetes Health: Glucose a blood glucose test screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. A high range could indicate pre diabetes or diabetes. A glucose test is also used to monitor glucose control for those people who are already known to have diabetes. HbA1c glucose (a kind of sugar) builds up in the blood and binds to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells. A Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test is used to measure the average level of blood glucose over the past two to three months and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. Its primary function is to regulate blood sugar levels. When blood sugar rises (for example, after eating), the pancreas releases insulin. This hormone then helps glucose (sugar) from the blood to enter the cells for energy. Kidney Health: Chloride is an electrolyte involved in maintaining fluid balance and regulating pH levels. Testing for chloride levels is necessary to assess electrolyte imbalances, kidney function, or certain medical conditions. Monitoring chloride levels helps diagnose and manage conditions such as dehydration, kidney disorders, or blood pH imbalances. Monitoring chloride level is important in situations like persistent vomiting and/or diarrhoea. Chloride imbalances may occur with changes in levels of the other electrolytes. Phosphate is a mineral involved in bone formation, energy metabolism, and cell signaling. Abnormal phosphate levels can indicate various medical conditions, such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. Testing helps identify individuals at risk of phosphate abnormalities, enabling appropriate interventions, including dietary modifications or supplementation. Potassium is a crucial electrolyte involved in nerve function, muscle contraction, and maintaining heart rhythm. Testing for potassium levels is necessary to assess electrolyte imbalances, kidney function, or certain medical conditions. Monitoring potassium levels reveals and helps manage conditions such as electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, or kidney disease. A high or low potassium level can be dangerous, and testing helps correct this. Sodium is an electrolyte involved in fluid balance and nerve function. Testing for sodium levels is necessary to evaluate electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, or certain medical conditions. Monitoring sodium levels helps assess hydration status, guide appropriate treatments, and maintain electrolyte balance for overall health and well-being. A low sodium level can be dangerous, and testing helps monitor for this. Urea is a waste product that is filtered out of the bloodstream by the kidneys and passed out of the body in the urine. Urea tests are used to show how well the kidneys are working as well as an indicator for diseases affecting the kidneys and liver. Stress: Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays a critical role in regulating stress response, metabolism, and immune function. Testing cortisol levels is necessary to evaluate adrenal function, diagnose hormonal disorders, or monitor response to stress. Cortisol testing helps assess and manage conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, Cushing’s syndrome, or stress-related disorders. DHEA-Sulphate is a male sex hormone found in both male and female. It is mostly produced in the adrenal glands however a small amount is produced in the male testes and the female ovaries. DHEA-Sulphate is used to control body function such as heart rate and blood pressure as well as being important in the production of sex hormones, testosterone and oestrogen. DHEA-Sulphate is measured for the diagnosis of tumours of the adrenal grands or diagnosis of disorders of the testicles or ovaries. Infection and Inflammation: C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP ) is a protein which increases in the blood during inflammation. hs CRP tests are used to predict the risk of heart conditions such as a heart attack. It can also be used to indicate whether an infection is bacterial or viral. Estimated turnaround time: 2-5 Working Days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above.
