Skin Micro-Needling

Skin Micro-needling

 Skin micro-needling is known as collagen induction therapy.

 It can be performed on the body or the face.  The procedure involves repeatedly puncturing the skin to a specific depth with tiny sterile needles.  Professional treatments are performed with a skin micro-needling pen.

The purpose of the treatment is to create a controlled injury to the skin that triggers skin regeneration. It is natural collagen inducing therapy against acute or chronic ageing.  Type 111 collagen is replaced by type 1 collagen.  Increased production of collagenase, an enzyme, helps regulate collagen production. This will result in tightening, lifting and thickening the skin.

The appearance of the skin’s texture will be plumper and more refined, with a reduction in pore size, fine lines and wrinkles and scarring.  It will also enhance the skin’s complexion making it more even and brighter. It is a treatment that is beneficial in treating ageing, loss of elasticity, pigmentation, scarring, acne, stretch marks and hair restoration.

There is a noticeable improvement in the skin after each treatment but for best results, we recommend a treatment course of between four and six treatments. The procedure is fairly painless with little to no downtime.  Some skin types may experience slight peeling, stinging and redness in the skin after the procedure.

We recommend that all homecare protocols prescribed by your skincare therapist are followed to ensure only the best results.

Our skin micro-needling treatment is a 90-minute treatment and also includes a skin peel and the use of at least two growth factor serums to enhance the treatment results. We use a topical anaesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience for our clients. We may also include a luxury face, head and neck massage to boost circulation, nerve and lymph flow and muscle tone in our facial treatment.
