Skin Needling

AKA: Micro Needling

Skin needling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at improving skin texture and appearance. 

Skin needling involves using a pen-like device which contains a number of microneedles. These tiny needles create controlled micro injuries to the skin. These tiny injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response which boosts collagen and elastin production.
Collagen and elastin are essential proteins responsible for maintaining structure, support, hydration, healing, thickness and durability of the skin.

How is Skin Needling performed?

A comprehensive consultation is carried out to ensure skin needling is the right treatment for you. On the day of the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleansed. A hand-held pen-like device with fine microneedles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping your skin smooth, firm, and youthful.

Based on your specific skin concerns, specially formulated creams or serums are applied during the process to further enhance the results. Following the treatment, a soothing hydration mask is applied to calm and rejuvenate your skin. The entire procedure typically takes around 45 minutes, though this may vary depending on the size of the treatment area.

Numbing cream is available however best results are seen without it and treatment is usually well tolerated.

Important note: For optimal results and minimal downtime, it's recommended to prepare your skin for at least two weeks prior to the treatment by using products containing Vitamin B and Vitamin C. While Vitamin A is not essential, it is also beneficial for the process.
If you do not have the above products, prep kits are available in clinic to purchase to help you get ready for treatment.
