Skin treatment Micro needling or collagen induction therapy Micro needling is a treatment that naturally stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin without damaging it. It involves pricking the skin with tiny, sterilised needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin which heal your skin and help you look younger. Enjoying the benefits of skin rejuvenation, reducing fine lines, pore size, and improving skin texture while boosting collagen, Microneedles penetrate the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response resulting in a boost in collagen production – resulting in stronger, clearer, healthy and firmer skin .
Micro-needling promotes the production of collagen and elastin through the natural auto-repair mechanisms of the skin, therefore reducing the appearance of imperfections.
micro-needling transports the active ingredients from your treatment into the deepest layers of the skin, essentially enhancing product effectiveness instantaneously. Improved communication between skin cells Sends out signals that increase the communication between the cells responsible for maintaining the barrier function, pigmentation, collagen and elastin in the skin. As soon as the deepest layers of your skin are penetrated by the needles, “micro-wounds” are created. This triggers your body’s wound healing processes to heal your micro wounds immediately. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment.
As a general rule of thumb, micro needling treatment can be safely done once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks.
Most customers notice an improvement in their skin after their first few treatments and the results continue to improve over the course of treatments. We recommend to have 4-5 treatments every 4-5 weeks to ensure long lasting and real results.
At first Micro needling might sound intimidating if you’ve never tried it before. Customers describe that this treatment feels like a thorough exfoliation – similar to an intense Microdermabrasion. It can feel a little bit sensitive around the orbital eye bone, nose and forehead.
