What is a Skin Needling?

Also known as collagen induction therapy, dermapen, micro-needling & made famous by Kim Kardashian as the “Vampire facial”. Skin needling is a special regenerating treatment that safely penetrates the skin creating micro injuries aiding in the repair and rejuvenation of the skin and tissue.

Skin needling kick starts the body’s natural wound healing, The new production and distribution of collagen helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, scarring and stretch marks. In 2010 plastic surgery research showed a 140% increase in epidermal thickness.  We recommend 3-6 treatments 4-6 weeks apart and  results can continue to be seen for up to 12 months post treatment.

Micro Skin Needling, uses oscillating micro-needles that create micro-injuries to the skin to encourage the body’s ability to repair itself. The device gently glides over the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which help to plump, smooth and tighten your skin. This highly effective treatment is ideal for many skin conditions such as uneven skin tone and complexion, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, surgical scars, acne and acne scars. The wound healing response created, causes collagen to remodel and dramatically improve the appearance of the skin. This treatment can be done on its own or enhanced by adding the DMK enzyme.

The face is the most common area for skin needling treatment; however, other areas such as the hands, neck chest and back can be treated just as successfully.

How many treatments are recommended for rejuvenation, acne scarring and stretch marks?

  • Rejuvention: 4-6 treatments, 4 weeks apart;
  • Acne scarring: 6 treatments, 6 weeks apart;
  • Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart

Should I prepare my skin before having a Micro Needling Treatment?

For optimal results, a period of effective active treatment creams, such as Vitamin A, C or Resveratrol & Procyanidin is recommended to allow the skin’s strength to build up.

How long should it take before I see results?

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4-6 treatments. Your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments and when combined with the recommended post treatment care.

Is the treatment painful?

For minimum needed depths Dermapen treatments are painless. Treatments over 0.5mm deep, may require a topical anesthetic cream to be applied 15-40 minutes before the procedure. This will render the treatments virtually pain free.

Is there any downtime after treatments?

Generally no, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Application of a breathable camouflage will seal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work.
