Microneedling
Penetrate the epidermis and dermis layer of skin to generate micro channels into the skin. Microneedling can be used to treat rough skin texture, mild scaring, open pores, mild pigmentation and fine lines
What is Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It involves the use of a device containing fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. Below is a breakdown of the process behind microneedling and highlights the various conditions it can effectively treat.
How it Works
During a microneedling treatment, our fully qualified nurses use a specialised device equipped with tiny needles to create micro-channels on the skin’s surface. The depth of the needles can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the individual. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and trigger the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity. As the skin heals, it becomes rejuvenated, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
What it Treats
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address a range of skin concerns. Here are some of the conditions it effectively treats:
Acne Scarring: Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and encouraging skin regeneration. The procedure helps break down scar tissue and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The improved skin texture and increased firmness contribute to a more youthful complexion.
Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, sunspots, and melasma. The procedure promotes the turnover of skin cells, helping to fade dark spots and even out skin tone.
Stretch Marks: Microneedling can improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen synthesis and increasing skin elasticity. The procedure encourages the skin to remodel and regenerate, resulting in reduced visibility of stretch marks.
Uneven Skin Texture: Microneedling can help smooth out rough or uneven skin texture by promoting the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin or enlarged pores.
Overall Skin Rejuvenation: Even without specific skin concerns, microneedling can be used as a preventative and general skin rejuvenation treatment. It can enhance the overall texture, tone, and quality of the skin, promoting a fresh and youthful appearance.
