Skin Needling - Collagen Induction Therapy
I'm sure you have already heard about skin needling and how life-changing it is for the skin
If you haven't yet, here is all you need to know!
​
Skin needling, also known as microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with small, fine needles to puncture the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing process and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve the overall appearance of the skin.

Reasons To Have Skin Needling
Skin Needling is one of the most talked about skin treatments treatments because it continually proves to show impeccable results for a number of skin concerns
Scarring:
By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, skin needling can help to improve the overall appearance of scars. The new collagen fibers that are produced can help to fill in the scar tissue, making it less noticeable and reducing the overall depth and size of the scar.
​
Pigmentation:
The increase in blood flow and growth factors can help to stimulate the production of new, healthy skin cells, which can gradually replace the damaged or pigmented skin cells. The production of collagen and elastin can also help to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin, making it appear brighter and more even.
Collagen & Elastin:
The production of collagen and elastin is particularly important for skin aging concerns. As we age, the production of these proteins naturally decreases, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. By promoting the production of collagen and elastin, skin needling can help to improve skin firmness and elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture and tone.
Stretch Marks:
The production of collagen and elastin can help to strengthen the skin and improve its elasticity, reducing the appearance of stretch marks. The new collagen fibers that are produced can help to fill in the stretch mark, making it less noticeable and reducing its depth and size.
