Needling Negotiables
Whether youโre wanting to refine your skin texture, clear pigmentation, or boost collagen production, skin needling will be your new best friend. This advanced, medical grade skin treatment can address a myriad of concerns and provide you with long lasting results and a stronger, healthier skin.
Skin needling uses a pen device that contains a cartridge of oscillating needles at the tip. These needles glide over the skin creating micro injuries which kick start your skinโs wound healing response. We call these tiny holes โcontrolled woundsโ as your therapist will customise your needling experience based on the concern you are addressing. The depth of penetration and the speed of the oscillation can be altered to ensure we are always working in the correct layer of the skin. When these controlled wounds begin to heal, the stem cells at the base layer of your skin will birth brand new cells, and (depending on the depth of your treatment) collagen production will be stimulated.
When we think about these new skin cells being produced we want to imagine them like big juicy grapes. Plump and bouncy full of all the good things required for optimal function, with a strong membrane to hold it all inside. Eventually these cells will rise to the uppermost layer of your skin and form your skin barrier, which is why it is so important that we prepare the skin correctly before we begin a skin needling journey. Ensuring that we are feeding our skin all the correct ingredients to form strong, healthy cells, means we are laying the ground work for a strong, healthy barrier. You will likely see us using vitamins A, C, and E as these are essential building blocks when it comes to cell renewal and collagen production. Essential fatty acids are also a major part of any needling journey as they will assist in your skinโs healing process, and help to form that strong cell membrane we are looking for. And no skin journey is complete without regular SPF use. This is an integral part of every skincare routine however during your needling journey it will be of the utmost importance! We want to protect all those juicy little grapes from the damaging effects of UV exposure.
Skin needling is able to treat a wide range of concerns on an even wider range of clients, whilst maintaining barrier integrity. With the correct preparation and aftercare, you can transform the health of your skin and get yourself one big step closer to the skin of your dreams.
