Skin Needling
Skin Needling
Skin needling is a minimally invasive procedure in which the skin is lightly pricked with tiny, sterilised needles, triggering a boost in collagen production. Collagen, the essential protein responsible for skin elasticity, plays a crucial role in maintaining a youthful and vibrant appearance.
This treatment helps heal old scars and minimise the appearance of wrinkles, and evens the tone and texture of the skin, all while bringing out your natural glow.
The benefits.
Scar Healing: Microneedling is renowned for its ability to reduce the appearance of mild scars, acne scars or burns by promoting the regeneration of healthy skin tissue.
Wrinkle Reduction: The collagen boost induced by microneedling helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Even Tone and Texture: This procedure aids in evening out skin tone and texture, addressing issues such as hyperpigmentation, roughness, enlarged pores or uneven skin tone.
Elasticity and Collagen: Microneedling stimulates collagen production, enhancing your skin's elasticity. The repair process revitalizes the skin to reveal a more youthful glow.
The results
In approximately 4-8 weeks, the collagen and elastin levels begin to increase. This is the amount of time it will take before you begin to see significant improvements in your skin.
You will notice a reduction in pore size, smoother texture, and a revitalised overall appearance. Collagen production will persistently rise, ensuring long-lasting results.
For optimal results, we advise 3-6 sessions, with a 4–6 week interval between each. Your provider will devise a personalised treatment regimen tailored to your needs.
Enhancing with PRP
Adding PRP or Platelet-Rich-Plasma, with its concentrated healing plasma and growth factors to your Skin needling session can make the treatment more effective. It aids in speeding up the healing process and stimulating skin renewal.
PRP can enhance collagen and elastin production. Skin needling with PRP effectively treats scars, acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, hyperpigmentation, minimises pores, uneven skin texture, and can help to decrease the appearance of stretch marks.
The addition of PRP to skin needling produces excellent results and healing properties.
