SKIN NEEDLING

WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING?

Collagen induction therapy, microneedling, skin needling or meso therapy is a cosmetic skin procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny sterile needles using a cosmetic tattooing type pen. The purpose of the treatment is to stimulate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer and more evenly toned skin. It’s a gentle skin needling system which implants active substances under the skins surface.it causes a very light trauma to the skin and in turn the skin produces new collagen, elastin and new tissue that leaves your skin instantly refreshed and revitalised. It is mostly used on the face but can be used on most areas of the body e.g hands. 

Does it hurt?

No, with this type of needling, there is no need to go deep into the skin. It is minimally invasive and requires no downtime. The area may look slightly red immediately after treatment but for most, it is much less visible the next day. It is a good idea to have needling at the end of the day so you can allow the skin to breathe, absorbe the serums and vitamins and not put make up straight on top of it. It is best to let to keep the area makeup free for 2-3 days afterwards if possible.
