Skin Needling

Skin needling, also known as micro-needling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

This innovative procedure involves the use of fine, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing response. As the skin heals, it promotes the formation of new collagen and tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Skin needling is suitable for a variety of skin types and concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other types of scarring
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Sun damage
  • Overall skin rejuvenation

Results from skin needling can usually be seen within a few weeks, as new collagen forms and the skin continues to improve over time. Patients can expect a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, a more even skin tone, improved texture, and a noticeable enhancement in overall firmness. With minimal downtime, skin needling is an excellent option for individuals looking to revitalise their skin without the need for extensive recovery.

For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, and your skincare professional will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Benefits of Skin Needling

FAQs

How many sessions of skin needling should I have?

For optimal results, it is typically recommended to have a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals.

What is the pre-care for skin needling?

To prepare for skin needling, you should:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior to treatment.
  • Refrain from using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, and exfoliating treatments for 3 to 5 days before the procedure.
  • Discontinue blood-thinning medications or supplements (like aspirin) a few days prior, if safe to do so.
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment.
What can I expect during the skin needling procedure?

During the procedure, a topical anaesthetic will be applied to minimise discomfort. The skin will be gently needled to create micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. Most clients report a mild, manageable sensation.

What is the aftercare for skin needling?

Post-treatment care includes:

  • Avoiding sun exposure and tanning for a minimum of two weeks.
  • Not applying makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
  • Keeping the skin clean and moisturised; your practitioner may recommend specific products to use.
  • Avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and sweating for 48 hours.
  • Not using harsh skincare products (like acids or retinoids) for the first 3 to 5 days.
Are there any side effects associated with skin needling?

Yes, some common side effects may include redness, swelling, and slight sensitivity in the treated area. These effects are typically short-lived and should resolve within a few days.

Is skin needling suitable for everyone?

Skin needling is generally suitable for most skin types, but individuals with active acne, certain skin conditions, or specific medical concerns should consult with their practitioner to determine suitability.

When will I see results?

While some improvements may be noticeable shortly after the procedure, optimal results usually become visible within 4 to 6 weeks as collagen production continues and the skin heals.
