SKIN NEEDLING
Revitalise and renew your complexion with skin needling. This advanced collagen-stimulating treatment helps smooth texture, refine pores, and restore a healthy, radiant glow. Ideal for boosting overall skin health, it can also target concerns like scarring, pigmentation, and signs of ageing.
What is skin needling?
Skin Needling is a cosmetic procedure which allows for a controlled induction of the skin’s self repairing abilities to increase collagen. The treatment creates countless 'micro-injuries' to the treatment areas with an electronic needling pen or a needling roller/stamp device. This can stimulate new collagen synthesis and increase absorption of topical skin serums. The result of the collagen production is gradual improvement of the skin texture and a smoother, younger-looking skin.
A course of at least 3-6 needling sessions is usually needed at 4-6 week intervals to achieve optimum results. We recommend repeating this 1-2 times a year.
What does the procedure involve?
Your face will be thoroughly cleaned and a topical numbing cream may be applied which will require around 30 minutes to take effect.
The treatment generally takes about 30 min, but varies with how many areas are being treated.
The micro-needles are passed over the treatment areas several times and in various directions. ‘Glide’ products may be used to help the needles pass more easily and to absorb the active ingredients deep into the skin.
It is normal for light bleeding to cover the skin during the treatment, especially with depths over 1mm. A post treatment cooling mask and/or a post treatment cream may be applied with an appropriate SPF to finish off.
What's the recovery time?
After a skin needling treatment, you may appear moderately sunburnt and your skin may be tender to touch. Most client's redness will resolve after about 3 days, however this could be longer depending on your skin type and how well you adhere to the post care instructions. As mentioned, skin priming is important for your recovery phase.
We will advise you of the correct aftercare to look after your skin during the healing process. We also have a range of skin serums available in clinic that can be used in conjunction with this treatment, to potentially enhance the quality of results and speed up recovery times.
Does it hurt?
While many people describe the treatment as 'uncomfortable', we take measures to prepare your skin for treatment. In most cases, an over the counter, lower strength topical numbing cream can be used prior to treatment. However, should a strong topical anaesthetic be applied, you will have a consult with one of our prescribing doctors. Simple analgesia like paracetamol can be taken as per the product directions for any tenderness post treatment.
