WOW Fusion Treatment in Norwich: Benefits, Results, Downtime & Cost

WOW Fusion combines two approaches within one treatment: microneedling and personalised skin solutions.

The hand-held WOW Fusion device contains 20 ultra-fine needles attached to a vial containing a solution or a bespoke ‘cocktail’ selected for your skin.

As the device is gently stamped across the treatment area, the needles create tiny microchannels in the skin while simultaneously delivering the selected solution.

Depending on your skin assessment and treatment goals, this may include ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides and antioxidants.

This ability to personalise the treatment is one of the reasons WOW Fusion is

WOW Fusion works in two complementary ways.

Firstly, the device creates controlled microchannels in the skin through a form of microneedling, sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy. This controlled process initiates the skin’s natural repair response.

Secondly, the device allows selected ingredients to be delivered through the microchannels created during treatment.

The combination allows us to address your skin from more than one direction, rather than simply applying skincare products to its surface.

Not quite.

Traditional microneedling primarily uses multiple fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin. Needle depths can be adjusted depending on the device, area and treatment objective.

WOW Fusion incorporates microneedling but also delivers a personalised solution during the needling process.

The WOW Fusion needle head contains 20 ultra-fine, surgical steel needles that are electropolished, nickel and gold plated. The needles are approximately 0.13 mm in diameter, making them extremely fine.

At The Clinic, your practitioner will determine whether WOW Fusion or another form of microneedling is more appropriate for your skin and your goals.

There isn’t one standard WOW Fusion cocktail that is appropriate for everyone.

One of the principal advantages of the treatment is the ability to personalise the solution according to your skin.

Depending on your assessment and suitability, ingredients may include:

• Hyaluronic acid
• Vitamins
• Peptides
• Antioxidants
• Other carefully selected ingredients appropriate for your treatment

Your practitioner will discuss your concerns during consultation and explain which ingredients are being recommended and why.

This means someone seeking improved hydration and radiance may receive a different treatment approach from someone concerned about skin texture, oiliness or early signs of ageing.

WOW Fusion can be used to support overall skin quality and rejuvenation with relatively little downtime.

Depending on your skin and the personalised treatment selected, potential benefits can include:

• Improved skin hydration
• Plumper, healthier-looking skin
• Improved texture and smoothness
• Brighter, more radiant-looking skin
• Improvement in the appearance of fine lines
• More even-looking skin tone
• Improvement in the appearance of enlarged pores
• Support for collagen production and skin renewal
• A fresh, natural-looking glow

Individual results vary, and the outcome will depend on factors including your starting skin condition, treatment formulation, lifestyle and whether you have an individual treatment or a course.

WOW Fusion can be considered for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

You may be interested in WOW Fusion if you are concerned about:

• Dull or dehydrated skin
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Uneven skin tone
• Pigmentation
• Enlarged pores
• Excess oil production
• Loss of firmness or elasticity
• General skin texture and quality

Certain skin conditions require more careful assessment. If you have active acne, rosacea, inflamed or compromised skin, we will assess your skin first rather than assuming WOW Fusion is automatically appropriate.

Sometimes the best treatment decision is to wait, address the underlying skin problem or recommend a different approach.

WOW Fusion isn’t appropriate for everyone.

Contraindications can include pregnancy or breastfeeding, nickel allergy, certain active skin conditions, some medical treatments and recent isotretinoin (Roaccutane) use.

Treatment may also be unsuitable in other circumstances depending on your medical history, medication and current skin condition.

This is why consultation and appropriate screening form an important part of treatment at The Clinic.

A WOW Fusion appointment typically takes around 35–40 minutes, although this can vary according to the treatment being performed.

1. Consultation and skin assessment
   Your practitioner will discuss your skin, concerns and treatment goals. We can then determine whether WOW Fusion is appropriate and select the ingredients most suitable for your treatment.

2. Cleansing and preparation
   Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and appropriately prepared before treatment to reduce contamination and infection risk.

3. WOW Fusion treatment
   The personalised solution is placed within the WOW Fusion device.

   The device is then gently stamped across the skin, creating microchannels while delivering the selected solution. Your practitioner may perform more than one pass depending on your skin and treatment plan.

4. Finishing and protecting the skin
   Following treatment, appropriate products may be applied according to your individual treatment protocol, followed by skin protection and SPF where appropriate.

   You will also receive aftercare instructions explaining how to look after your skin during the initial recovery period.

Most clients find WOW Fusion very manageable.

The sensation is generally described as mild tingling, prickling or scratching as the device moves across the skin.

Because the needles are extremely fine, treatment can often be performed without topical anaesthetic. However, comfort varies between individuals and this can be discussed with your practitioner before treatment.

One of the attractions of WOW Fusion is its relatively short recovery period compared with more intensive skin treatments.

Immediately afterwards, your skin may look slightly red or feel warm, sensitive, dry or tight.

These effects are usually temporary and settle as the skin recovers.

Although there is relatively little downtime, your skin has still undergone a treatment and should be looked after accordingly.

You will receive personalised aftercare following your treatment.

As a general guide, we recommend avoiding heavy makeup for approximately 24 hours and protecting the skin while it recovers.

You may also be advised to temporarily avoid:

• Direct or excessive sun exposure
• Sunbeds
• Saunas and excessive heat
• Harsh exfoliants
• Retinoids and other active skincare
• Other potentially irritating skin treatments

Depending on your skin and treatment, certain active products may need to be avoided for approximately 5–7 days.

Daily sun protection is particularly important following treatments that temporarily make the skin more sensitive.

Some people notice their skin appears fresher, more hydrated or more radiant following an individual treatment.

Other changes in skin quality develop more gradually.

Results vary considerably between individuals, so we don’t promise that everyone will see the same improvement or that a particular result will occur within a fixed timeframe.

This depends on what you want to achieve.

An individual WOW Fusion treatment may be chosen before a special occasion or simply to give the skin some additional attention.

For longer-term skin rejuvenation, we generally recommend a course of at least three treatments, depending on your skin and treatment goals.

Your practitioner can advise you whether an individual treatment, course or maintenance programme is appropriate following assessment.

There is no single answer because WOW Fusion is personalised and everyone’s skin responds differently.

How long you notice the effects can be influenced by your age, skin condition, lifestyle, skincare routine, treatment ingredients and whether you have one treatment or a course.

Good home skincare and appropriate sun protection can also form an important part of maintaining overall skin quality between professional treatments.

WOW Fusion is popular with people preparing for weddings, celebrations, holidays and other special occasions because it can be used to support hydration, radiance and overall skin appearance without the prolonged downtime associated with more intensive procedures.

However, we would not recommend trying any new skin procedure immediately before an important event.

If you have a particular date in mind, tell us when booking so we can recommend appropriate treatment timing.

WOW Fusion is a minimally invasive skin treatment, but that doesn’t mean it is completely without risk.

Temporary effects can include:

• Redness
• Sensitivity
• Dryness or tightness
• Mild swelling
• Temporary irritation
• Pinpoint bleeding
• Bruising
• Skin reaction to an ingredient used

As with treatments that disrupt the skin barrier, there is also a risk of infection and changes in pigmentation.

Appropriate consultation, skin preparation, treatment technique and aftercare are therefore important.

WOW Fusion treatment at The Clinic in Norwich costs between £200 and £325, depending on the personalised solution selected for your skin concerns and treatment goals.

We will explain the recommended treatment and cost before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions About WOW Fusion

WOW Fusion is a personalised skin treatment combining microneedling with the delivery of selected ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides and antioxidants through a specialist multi-needle device.

It can provide some of the cosmetic benefits people associate with an advanced facial, but WOW Fusion is a minimally invasive skin treatment involving fine needles rather than a conventional facial applied solely to the skin’s surface.

No. Both treatments use fine needles, but WOW Fusion combines its microneedling action with the simultaneous delivery of a personalised solution. Your practitioner can advise which approach is more appropriate for your skin.

WOW Fusion may be considered for concerns including dehydration, dullness, uneven texture, early signs of ageing, enlarged pores and uneven-looking skin tone. Suitability depends on your individual skin assessment.

WOW Fusion may form part of a wider treatment approach for some pigmentation concerns, but pigmentation has many different causes. We recommend assessing the type of pigmentation before deciding which treatment is most appropriate.

This depends on the type and activity of the acne. We would assess acne-prone or actively inflamed skin before recommending microneedling-based treatment.

Rosacea varies considerably between individuals. Rather than assuming WOW Fusion is suitable for everyone with rosacea, we recommend a skin assessment so that treatment can be selected appropriately.

We generally recommend avoiding heavy makeup for approximately 24 hours following treatment. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare advice based on the treatment you have received.

A typical treatment takes approximately 35–40 minutes, although your overall appointment may vary according to consultation, skin preparation and the treatment performed.

Some people choose an individual treatment, while for skin rejuvenation we generally recommend a course of at least three treatments. This will be personalised according to your skin and goals.

WOW Fusion is available at The Clinic on St Martin-at-Palace Plain in Norwich. Treatment is carried out following consultation and assessment so that both the treatment and selected ingredients can be tailored to your skin.
