WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that has gained significant popularity for its ability to rejuvenate the skin and address various skin concerns. Here's a detailed look at how microneedling works, its benefits, and what you can expect from the treatment.
HOW IT WORKS
Microneedling involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound-healing processes, promoting the production of collagen and elastin—proteins essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
BENEFITS
1. Improved Skin Texture and Tone:
- Microneedling helps to smooth out uneven skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin tone.
- It can address skin issues such as rough patches and enlarged pores, leaving the skin looking more refined and polished.
2. Scar Reduction:
- This treatment is highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
- By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps to break down scar tissue and promote the growth of new, healthy skin.
3. Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products:
- The micro-channels created during microneedling significantly enhance the skin's ability to absorb topical skincare products.
- This increased absorption can amplify the effectiveness of serums and creams, delivering deeper hydration and nourishment.
4. Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage:
- Microneedling can help to fade hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage by promoting the turnover of skin cells.
- Over time, this leads to a more even and radiant complexion.
5. Minimal Downtime:
- Compared to more invasive procedures like laser resurfacing, microneedling has minimal downtime.
- Most people experience mild redness and swelling similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a couple of days.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
During the procedure:
- A topical anesthetic is usually applied to minimize discomfort.
- The microneedling device is then moved across the skin combined with injectable grade hyaluronic acid, creating tiny punctures and pinpoint bleeding
- We include a hydrating booster/recovery mask post treatment to speed healing and enhance results
- The procedure typically takes about 1 hour 30 min, start to finish
Post-Treatment Care:
- After the procedure, your skin may appear red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn.

RESULTS
- Initial results can be seen within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen production ramps up.
- Multiple sessions (typically 3-6) spaced a few weeks apart are often recommended for optimal results.
IS MICRONEEDLING RIGHT FOR YOU?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones, but it's essential to consult with your medical aesthetician to determine if it's the right treatment for your specific skin concerns. People with certain conditions, such as active acne, eczema, or rosacea, may need to address these issues before undergoing microneedling. Microneedling cannot be done over raised, open or inflamed skin lesions.
Microneedling is a versatile and effective treatment that offers numerous benefits, from improved skin texture and tone to scar reduction and enhanced skincare absorption. With minimal downtime and significant results, it's no wonder that microneedling has become a go-to solution for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin.
