WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING?
Microneedling uses an electronic device with multiple tiny needles to puncture the epidermis (and sometimes also the dermis) in a precise, controlled way. The depth of these micro channels can be adjusted to suit your skin type and concerns. As these tiny wounds heal, collagen and elastin are produced, healing and boosting the skin from within. Skin needling can be somewhat uncomfortable, however numbing cream is used to minimise discomfort.
MICRONEEDLING BENEFITS
Skin needling can have impressive visible results for people with acne scarring and can also target fine lines, wrinkles. Hyperpigmentation and discolouration can also be reduced, although there is a risk of increased hyperpigmentation for some skin types. Skin texture is another main target of skin needling, with strong potential for enhancement in the form of minimised pores and sagging.
WHAT TO AVOID BEFORE SKIN NEEDLING
To prepare skin for microneedling avoid any hair removal procedures or injectables on the face for two weeks prior to your appointment. One week before, cease using retinol and exfoliating acids within your skincare routine. For more personalised advice, speak to your microneedling expert.
SKIN NEEDLING SIDE EFFECTS
Immediately after the procedure, it’s normal to experience redness, swelling and a small amount of bleeding. Your skin will feel similar to a sunburn and may become prone to itching in the days following your appointment. The most noticeable side effects should resolve within approximately 24 hours and the rest within a few days
Skin needling, also known as microneedling, can be beneficial for a variety of individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance. It involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production.
