Microneedling involves the use of tiny needles that gently prick the skin. The microscopic channels created stimulate your body's healing process, providing a natural boost to collagen and elastin. This treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, works entirely from your own body. Microneedling is an effective treatment for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a more youthful and radiant appearance. One of the benefits of microneedling is the overall skin improvement it can offer, significantly enhancing skin texture and tone. Microneedling can also help reduce scar tissue, such as acne scars or injury scars, by stimulating the skin's natural healing processes. For individuals with certain forms of acne and rosacea, microneedling can be an effective solution to calm the skin and reduce imperfections. Pigment disorders, such as melasma or hyperpigmentation, can be treated with microneedling to even out skin tone and reduce dark spots. Microneedling can also help improve rough skin texture by stimulating collagen production, making the skin smoother and more even.
The microneedling treatment explained
During the approximately 30-minute microneedling treatment, you relax in one of our treatment rooms. Our specialist uses a derma pen, a specialized device that applies small pricks to the skin with horizontal, diagonal, and vertical movements. These pricks are not painful, but they are noticeable. After the treatment, your skin may be pink/red for a few hours. This naturally returns to normal during the natural healing process. In some cases, the skin may flake during this recovery.
