This treatment is a great option for anyone concerned with rough skin texture, fine lines, enlarged pores or superficial acne scarring. Skin needling is generally consider a safe treatment for all skin types.

For best results, a series of treatments is typically required and improvements are seen gradually as the skin continues to heal and renew.
During the procedure, a handheld device with ultra fine needles, is passed across the skin multiple times, creating hundreds of micro-injuries within the skin. These controlled, tiny wounds, stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated over time.

For darker skin types, a consultation is recommended prior to commencing treatment.

After your treatment the skin will feel hot and red, like a sunburn, and mild swelling may be present. Redness will start to settle on day 2 and then you may start to experience some light dryness and flakiness on the skin. Heat and excessive exercise should be avoided for 24-48hrs.
Some patients who want to minimise possible skin reaction have an LED session straight after their needling treatment.
If makeup needs to be used after treatment we recommend using a breathable product such as OXYGENETICS.
When very sensitive areas are treated, like under the eyes, some swelling may occur.
