TREATMENT PROCEDURE?
After a detailed skin consultation we will determine and assess the best-suited treatment for each individual. Our Skin Therapists will assess whether Skin Needling will suit your specific skin problems including acne scar reduction and anti-ageing skin rejuvenation. Skin Needling is extremely safe and effective in treating fine lines, wrinkles, texture, scars and acne scars with each individual treatment usually taking around an hour. It is an ideal treatment for promoting healthy, beautiful, glowing skin.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Every person’s skin is unique, so each individual may require different treatment paths depending on what we are treating. As a guide, we recommend 5 treatments, fortnightly apart. More may be required depending on individual needs. For client’s with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to combine a course of skin needling treatments with additional treatment modalities such as corrective peels.
SHOULD I PREPARE MY SKIN BEFORE HAVING SKIN NEEDLING?
For optimal results, a period of effective active treatment creams, such as Vitamin A, C and AHA’s is recommended to allow the skin’s strength to build-up (especially for thin or delicate skin areas). Consult your therapist about the recommended Pre- and Post- procedure protocol. The best prepared your skin is, the better result you will obtain.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE I SEE THE RESULTS?
You will notice an improvement in one treatment, with visibly glowing skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment as collagen production continues, with results taking their full effect for up to two years.
IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
For minimum needle depths skin needling treatments are painless. Treatments over 0.5mm deep are a bit more intense but manageable.
While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating needle tip reduces discomfort while the applied serum also makes the treatment more tolerable.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER TREATMENTS?
Generally, no, but you may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people can return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Immediately after the treatment, you may notice a warmth and redness to your skin similar to windburn or sunburn. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
HOW SOON AFTER FILLER INJECTIONS CAN I HAVE SKIN NEEDLING?
It is recommended to wait 3 weeks after filler and anti-wrinkle injections, so that any post treatment bruising from the can settle.
