Micro - needling

Micro needling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, sterilized needles to prick the skin. The purpose of this treatment is to stimulate new collagen production and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin. Micro needling is mostly used on the face and helps to reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores. It rejuvenates and has a plumping effect on the skin with minimal discomfort and very little downtime, and it can be adjusted to fit each person needs.

Benefits of micro needling can include:

  • reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars
  • reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • reducing enlarged pores
  • reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, or dark spots
  • smoothing uneven skin tone
  • improving skin elasticity
  • reducing the appearance of stretch marks
  • reducing the appearance of scars
  • promoting hair growth in people with alopecia

How does Treatment work

Micro needling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The pin pricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture. It’s common for the skin to lose collagen with age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, additional collagen may help make the skin firmer.

Micro needling may also be combined with topical serums, radiofrequency, and platelet-rich plasma. our professional experts can help you navigate the decisions regarding additional treatment options and their estimated costs.

Micro- needling with Radio Frequency

Micro needling in combination with Radiofrequency (RF) is a new, non-surgical skin rejuvenation cosmetic procedure. It uses a head of tiny needles and simultaneously releases radiofrequency waves into the skin to rejuvenate the skin.  The joining of these two techniques enhances the effects of standard micro-needling and helps to lift, firm and tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles, shrink pores and even minimise acne scars and other blemishes. The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury whereby the damage stimulates collagen production and the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars and wrinkles.
