As we age our skin deteriorates in many ways including the development of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pore size and uneven skin tone and texture. Microneedling (also known as skin needling or dermal needling) can target these deteriorations by comfortably creating thousands of micro-injuries to the skins surface.
This process organically stimulates skin repair by triggering the body’s natural wound healing process which results in the remodelling and formation of collagen. The result is tighter, smoother and more youthful looking skin. The face, neck, chest and hands are common areas to be treated.
General skin rejuvenation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loose, lax skin
Mild to moderate acne scarring
Enlarged pore size
Poor skin texture
You will start to see results within a week of treatment. A course of three treatments is normally recommended for optimal results.
The results are permanent as your own collagen is produced, however, it is recommended to have regular maintenance treatments due to the nature of the ageing process and environmental damage reoccurring.
Mild discomfort can be experienced during treatment, however a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin before the treatment to prevent pain.
It is common to have warm, tingly, red and dry skin for a few days after treatment. A high factor UVA/UVB sun block is recommended to protect the skin following treatment.
