microneedling

---

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that treats skin concerns by stimulating collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment creates micro-punctures in the skin using miniature, sterilised needles.

The treatment involves applying a pen-like device, to the surface of the skin. The device has tiny needles that penetrate the upper layer of skin and break up old strands of collagen in the lower layer. 

This wound healing response is what stimulates new collagen and elastin formation which then assists with plumping out fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. It also reduces the appearance of pigmentation, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.

After a microneedling treatment, it’s normal to experience some side effects. Your skin may appear red or flushed, resembling a mild to moderate sunburn. This redness typically fades within 48 hours, though other symptoms, like peeling or minor breakouts, may take a bit longer to resolve.

Most of the visible recovery happens in the first couple of days, but healing beneath the skin’s surface can continue for up to two months. Swelling is common within the first 48 hours, and flaking or dryness is to be expected as your skin renews itself. Other possible side effects, such as minor breakouts or dryness, may occur but vary from person to person.

To minimise discomfort and aid recovery, it’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetician. Using a gentle cleanser and keeping your skin well moisturised will help manage the side effects. 

(All products used during your microneedling are tailored to meet your skin’s specific needs.)

The main benefit of microneedling is it improves skin texture. It does this by stimulating collagen, which is great for rejuvenating the skin. As a result, it can help improve a number of key skin concerns.

• Soften Fine Lines
• Fade Acne Scars
• Tackle Ultraviolet (Uv) Damage, Like Hyperpigmentation And Age Spots
• Shrink Pores
• Brighten Skin
• Reduce the appearance of stretch marks
