Skin Needling (Micro-needling) is one of the best anti-aging treatments out there. It is a safe procedure that uses small needles to create micro wounds that accelerate the body's own natural healing response to repair and rejuvenate by producing new collagen and elastin, which creates smoother, firmer and more toned healthy-looking skin.
What it Does
Not only is it fantastic at stimulating collagen production but this treatment is also amazing for:
· Acne scarring
· Fine lines
· Pigmentation
· Enlarged pores
· Improving skin texture
· Scarring and Stretch marks
What To Expect
Immediately after your skin will be red, possible swelling, tight, and sensitive to touch.
Day 2-4 You may feel as if you have mild sunburn and mild flaking may occur, please do not pick, but apply ingredients like hyaluronic acid to hydrate and restore.
Day 5-7 GLOWING skin will be present, and you can continue your normal skin care routine.
What To Avoid
- Excessive sweating and gyms for 48 hours.
- Retinols, Vitiamin C, BHAs, AHAs (active skincare) for 7 days.
- Direct sun exposure, protect your skin with SPF 30 or higher and reapply.
- Do not apply makeup for 24 hours.
What To Do
- Gently use a cleanser for the first 72 hours.
- Keep the treated area clean.
- Keep your skin well-hydrated by using gentle, hydrating moisturizers.
- Helping maintain the skin's moisture barrier aids in the healing process.
- After initial 24 hours of no makeup, make sure all makeup brushes are clean before use.

Optimal Results
A course of skin needling treatments is often recommended over a single treatment, while a single treatment can provide noticeable improvements, the effects are typically more significant and long-lasting with a series of sessions. Each treatment builds upon the previous one, leading to cumulative benefits and more substantial results over time.
Recommended 4- 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart would give you optimal
skin results.
