Skin Needling
What is it?
It involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's dermal layer.
This targeted damage stimulates the body's natural wound-healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. This treatment aims to generate new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin. Skin needling is mostly used on the face and may reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores.

What to expect After
You may notice skin irritation and redness within the first few days of the procedure. This is a natural response to the minor “injuries” made by the needles in your skin.
If you’re comfortable, you can return to work or school after the procedure. It’s best to let your skin heal before applying makeup.
Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so be sure to apply sunscreen. We still typically recommend waiting one week before exposing your skin to sunlight or harsh chemicals.
After skin needling, your skin works fairly quickly to rejuvenate new tissue. You may see results within days.
