Micro Derma Needling

What is Micro Derma Needling?

Micro Derma Needling’s correct name is Natural Collagen Induction Therapy or Trans-dermal Delivery. It creates small channels into the deep layers of the skin, which break up the old collagen strands and stimulate the creation of new ones.  

How Does It Work?

Thousands of micro channels are created in the skin to trigger new collagen production.

Natural serums, oils and preparations are applied immediately after Micro Derma Needling. 

The products used significantly aid the treatment’s success as the skin’s ability to soak up nutrients increases by whooping 3000% for an hour after the treatment!!  

The Healing Process

As the epidermis is only punctured, it heals quickly. Over a 3 to 6 month period, the skin repairs itself naturally, and gradually, the skin’s appearance improves dramatically. The skin, however, as a whole, undergoes a three-staged healing process after Micro Derma Needling, and because of this slightly more lengthy process, the full results of the treatment can take up to one to fully show. It is recommended that, for optimum results, you have three separate treatments spaced out 4-6 weeks apart. Although it is still beneficial to have a one-off treatment, it will still give results, just obviously not as significant or as good, as having the two or three in the specified time period.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

By the time we are 35, we will have lost half the collagen (the ‘scaffolding’ of the skin) in our skin and elastin (which gives our skin its elasticity). Quite simply, Micro Derma Needling stimulates collagen elastin production. It is the controlled stimulation of the skin’s ability to self-repair. The thousands of micro ‘channels’ created in the skin trigger new collagen production and allow any products applied to penetrate deep into the skin and heal the skin further.
Serums containing Hyaluronic Acid are applied immediately after Micro Derma Needling. Once applied, the products will absorb far deeper into the skin than they would without the skin needling. The skincare products will significantly aid the treatment’s success as the skin’s ability to soak up nutrients increases by whooping 3000% for an hour after the treatment!!
