WHAT IS CLINICAL SKIN NEEDLING
In the vast majority of cases, about fifteen minutes after your treatment there will be no sign that you have had anything done. For this reason, it has become a popular ‘lunchtime’ procedure. Some people will develop some redness or slight irritation at the injection sites and bruising or swelling is always a possibility. This will most likely clear up over a few days. Some people may also experience a headache or other flu-like symptoms.
HOW IT WORKS?
Your fully trained and experienced aesthetician will thoroughly clean and analyseyour skin. If no issues are apparent, treatment will commence. The disposable micro-needling tip comes in sterilisedindividual packages. The stainless steel micro-needles which can be adjusted to cater to the individual patient’s needs.
The concept of Skin Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns and other abrasions. Immediately after an injury occurs to the skin our body reuses the damaged collagen and elastin fibresas well as other damaged skin components to produce new ones. Skin Needling allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self repair mechanism by creating micro-“injuries” in the skin which trigger new collagen synthesis, yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin.
