The benefits of professional skin needling are double-fold. Firstly, the columns of micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s wound healing response, which triggers the natural production of collagen in the dermis. This process is called percutaneous therapy induction of collagen, it is a physiological process that improves the thickness, colour, skin texture and consistency of the complexion.

​

The second benefit is the delivery of active ingredients to the skin via the micro-needling columns.  Skin micro needling increases the absorption of active ingredients into the skin, stimulates skin repair at a cellular level and accelerates the regeneration of the skin’s epidermal cells.  The depth of the micro needles can be adjusted, which allows treatment to be adapted to each patient’s individual needs. This customisation means skin needling can be used in sensitive areas such as the upper and lower eyelids, lips and nose – areas that are usually untreatable with other modalities.  

​

There is minimal downtime involved after the procedure. Skin flushing often occurs but resolves in 12 to 48 hours following treatment in typical cases.  A series of treatments is recommended to achieve the best results. Skin rejuvenation often calls for four to six treatments, acne scarring is usually a minimum of six treatments and stretch marks can require anywhere between four and six treatments.
