Micro Needling
Micro Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, allows for a controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro ‘injuries’ to the skin, therefore stimulating your skin’s own collagen production to reduce appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretchmarks, skin laxity as well as scarring.
The high-speed motion of the needling system minimises pain and discomfort, while better promoting an even absorption of topical acids and peptides into the skin, which enhances the overall result.
A topical anaesthetic is applied 30min prior in preparation for the treatment.
The treatment can take from 40minutes to an hour depending on the areas being treated.
Best results are shown over a period of 3-9months as it takes up to 90days for your skin’s collagen and elastin’s remodelling to take place.
Therefore, it is advisable for our clients to come in for more than one session to achieve maximum results.
One can typically start to see a result after the first treatment, however lasting and more significant results will occur after 4-6 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart) Your skin will continue to improve over time after a course of treatments as well as with the benefits of proper homecare.
What can you expect after a treatment?
- Skin will be pink/red in appearance and can last from 1-3 days
- Skin might feel like it has a minor sunburn feeling
- Pin point bleeding can be expected but not always, depending on aggressiveness during procedure.
- Slight swelling can also be expected and should subside within 12-24hours
- Bruising might also occur depending on person to person due to skin texture

- Aged sagging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Smokers lines
- Tightening and rejuvenation
