Medical Derma Needling

Micro-needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, allows for a controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro-“injuries” to the skin, therefore stimulating your skin’s own collagen production to reduce appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, skin laxity and well as scarring.

The high-speed motion of the needling system minimises pain and discomfort, while better promoting an even absorption of topical acids and peptides into the skin, which enhances the overall result. The treatment can take from 40 minutes to an hour depending on the areas being treated. Best results are shown over a period of 3-9 months as it takes up to 90 days for your skin’s collagen and elastin’s remodelling to take place. Therefore, it is advisable for our clients to come in for more than one session to achieve maximum results.

One can typically start to see a result after the first treatment, however lasting and more significant results will occur after 4-6 treatments (spaces 4-6 weeks apart). Your skin will continue to improve over time after a course of treatments as well as with the benefits of proper homecare.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AFTER A TREATMENT?:

Skin will be pink/red in appearance and can last form 1-3 days
Skin might feel like it has a minor sunburn
Mild flaking from day 2-5 can be seen in some cases
