Medical Skin Needling
Skin needling is a non-invasive, non-injectable skin rejuvenation treatment that targets a diverse range of skin concerns. This procedure uses a roller with microscopic needles between 0.25mm (homecare roller) to 1.5mm (clinical roller) long. It is derived from ancient acupuncture techniques and mesotherapy and works well in combination with cosmetic acupuncture for accelerated results. As the needles are rolled over the skin, tiny punctures are created within the epidermis and dermis that encourage the skin's own natural healing response. There is minimal downtime and discomfort and an almost immediate outcome. The treatment is carried out using topical numbing cream. Afterwards your skin will appear sunburned in the area treated and this will subside over the next 12- 48 hours depending on the depth of skin needling roller used. The redness can be covered with mineral make-up after 24 hours. Home treatment rollers are available to use on a weekly basis. These have much shorter needles which only microscopically break the surface of the skin but overtime have profound results when combined with the appropriate skincare.
Needle Dermabrasion
Needling dermabrasion is performed using an inkless tattoo gun to target specific fine lines, wrinkles and scars. The machine punctures the skin creating perforations and this stimulates the production of collagen. Over the course of a few weeks up to a few months the fine line, wrinkle or scar will fill in and appear less noticeable. . This procedure can improve the skin 40% to 60% in just one treatment. The procedure can be repeated after three months. Needle dermabrasion does not burn the skin the way lasers can - which lowers the risk of injury. It is also not as invasive, so the skin needs less time to recover. The skin continues to improve for up to a year after the treatment.
What is the recovery time for Needle Dermabrasion and skin needling?
Following the treatement the area treated will be red, swollen, and irritated. The redness lasts three to 5 days for needle dermabrasion and only 24-48 hours for skin needling. After 24 hours you can wear mineral makeup to cover the area.
