Microneedling

Skin Needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, promoting collagen production and rejuvenating the skin's texture and appearance.

Processes

Consultation
A consultation allows us to discuss your skin concerns and treatment goals.

Preparation
The skin is cleansed and prepped for the procedure, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort.

Microneedling
The skin needling device is gently rolled or stamped over the treatment area to create controlled micro-injuries.

Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, a soothing serum or mask may be applied to the skin to enhance healing and promote collagen production.

 FAQs

  • Skin Needling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

  • Skin Needling is suitable for improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.

  • The number of sessions needed depends on individual skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

  • A topical numbing cream is typically applied to the skin before the procedure to minimise discomfort. Most patients report mild to moderate sensations during the treatment.

Aftercare

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sun exposure for at least a week following the procedure. If you must be in the sun, wear a wide-brimmed hat and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Keep the Skin Clean: Wash your face gently with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water for the first few days post-procedure. Avoid hot water, harsh cleansers, and vigorous scrubbing.

Moisturise: Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and promote healing.

Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: Avoid using products containing active ingredients like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, or other exfoliants for at least a week post-microneedling.

Avoid Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup for the first 24-48 hours after microneedling to prevent irritation or infection.

Avoid Touching Your Face: Refrain from touching or picking at the treated area to prevent introducing bacteria and causing irritation.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal and rejuvenate from the microneedling treatment.
