What is Medical Skin Needling?
Medical Skin Needling otherwise known as Collagen Induction Therapy is a natural and non invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that simultaneously treats a diverse range of skin conditions. This procedure uses a sterile roller with microscopic needles between 0.5mm (Clinical Roller) to 1.0mm-2.0mm (Medical Roller) long. This process creates hundreds of microscopic “pin pricks” to activate your body’s natural healing process.
How does Medical Skin Needling work?
The body senses these tiny channels and responds by launching a natural healing cascade which results in a burst of collagen and elastin production as well as the release of powerful growth factors.
What can I expect from my Medical Skin Needling treatment?
This increase in natural collagen results in skin tightening, reduction of lines and wrinkles and remodelling of scar tissue. Results can be immediate, while others notice improvement gradually over a 6-12 week period. There is minimal downtime, consisting of 1-2 days of mild redness which can be covered with mineral make-up or a tinted moisturizer during that time if desired. A topical anaesthetic cream is used to numb the skin and minimize discomfort.
