MICRO NEEDLING

What is Micro Needling?

Micro needling is a form of therapy that stimulates youthful beauty in just a few treatments—without surgery and fewer side effects.  After treatment the skin repair itself naturally and safely, creating smoother, brighter and younger-looking skin.  Not only will this leave you glowing, it can also reduce scarring, stretch marks, blackheads, open pores, fine lines, hyperpigmentation and more. Due to the speed of the device, treatments are fast, comfortable and able to target large or multiple areas at once.

Who’s the ideal Candidate for Micro needling?

Micro needling is a treatment for any one who wishes to make their skin better.   If you require treatment for scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite and hyperpigmentation, you would likely make a good candidate.  Those with on going skin infections need to resolve the condition prior to undergoing the treatment.  The treatment is suitable for both men and women.

What does dermal needling do?

Reduce imperfections – Micro-needling promotes the production of collagen and elastin through the natural auto-repair mechanisms of the skin, reducing the appearance of imperfections.

 Increased effectiveness of active ingredients – Micro-needling transports the active ingredients from your treatment into the deepest layers of the skin, essentially enhancing product effectiveness instantaneously.

 Improved communication between skin cells – Sends out signals that increase the communication between the cells responsible for maintaining the barrier function, pigmentation, collagen and elastin in the skin.

This treatment will help with concerns such as;

• Acne Scars
• Enlarged Pores
• Crow’s feet & Wrinkles
• Skin Elasticity
• Stretch Marks
• Cellulite
• Sunspots/age spots
• Uneven texture
• Pigmentation
• UV Damage
• Alopecia/Hair loss

How does Micro Needling work?

Micro needling works by using tiny needles to create small perforations, or ‘micro-channels’ in the skin. This stimulates the healing response of the deeper layers and encourages your skin to make new, collagen-rich tissue.

The micro-channels created during the treatment allow active ingredients from your skincare products to penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin to deliver even more powerful results.

Treatment feels like?

Skin will be cleaned and prepped for treatment.

During the session, serums are applied for different conditions and a specialised device pushes incredibly fine needles into the skin as it moves over the surface, creating tiny channels.  This can causes tiny minor discomfort in the sensitive arrears such as under eyes.  (Tropical numbing cream can be applied)

Your skin will feel sensitive, slight redness and warmth to the skin may be experienced after your session, and dryness can be experienced a few days post-treatment.

Everything will quickly go back to normal, In the following weeks, the look of your skin will not just go back to normal, but will improve in terms of texture and clarity.

Results

The initial skin tightening and pore reduction can be seen immediately after treatment. However, you won’t see your final micro needling results until four to six weeks after your anti-aging treatment. Both collagen production and cellular turnover are accelerated, but it still takes your body time to produce new, strong, healthy collagen.

To see the full effect, the number of treatments required will depend on your individual requirements and this will be discussed during your initial consultation. Typically, we recommend a treatment course of 3-6 sessions, at monthly intervals.

We also offer Radio Frequency Micro Needling

What is Radio Frequency Micro Needling?

Radio Frequency Micro Needling is a procedure that uses radiofrequency waves.   Similar to Micro Needling, but the needle releases radiofrequency deep into the dermal layers of the skin.  The radio frequency heats at depths that provide cumulative and on going benefits of collagen stimulation skin tightening and resurfacing.

What’s the difference in RF Micro Needling and Micro Needling?

Traditional Micro Needling will deliver a positive effect over a few treatments; adding radiofrequency energy reduces the time it takes to see great results and increases the results seen. In RF Micro Needling, the results are produced faster, are more dramatic, and are longer-lived.

Who’s the Ideal Candidate for RF Micro Needling?

The ideal candidate for RF Micro Needling is seeking to improve the appearance of their skin, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and general textural improvement of the skin texture.   Micro needling with radiofrequency is safe for darker skin individuals in contrast to many other skin rejuvenation techniques.

Those with on going skin infections need to resolve the condition prior to undergoing the treatment.  The treatment is suitable for both men and women.

How it works?

By creating heat within the superficial layers of the skin, RF carefully causes old collagen and elastin fibres to break down in a controlled manner, while a micro-needling dermal stamp stimulates cell regeneration to repair the skin. As new collagen is stimulated, the skin becomes healthier, firmer and refined, resulting in a more even skin texture and visible reduction in scars.
