Medical Grade Microneedling Treatment with SkinCeuticals

What is Microneedling

Microneedling sometimes also known as collagen induction therapy. Microneedling treatment will make tiny punctures to the dermis of the skin with a microscopic needle and this triggers the production of new collagen and our amazing skin’s own ability to heal itself! Microneedling gives your complexion a revitalised, refreshed look and can improve the visible signs of ageing over several sessions.

Microneedling is a cosmetic non invasive procedure to approve the appearance of your skin. People turn to microneedling (sometimes also referred to as nanoneedling) for many different types of reasons. Some of the reasons are to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, rid themselves of dark eye circles, reduce scaring etc. There are so many different skin concerns that can be treated.

Using a serum whilst Microneedling

We always use a serum while microneedling as the lubrication of the serum prevents needle drag and helps the microneedling pen glide effortlessly over the skin. This makes the procedure more comfortable and has many other benefits… The microchannels created by microneedling allow the hyaluronic acid serum to penetrate deeply into the skin, having greater effect.

What does the microneedling procedure actually involve?

Microneedling uses tiny needles from a motorised microneedling pen to make microscopic punctures in the skin. The device will be moved around the treatable areas on the body or face. Microneedling is also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). This is because the microscopic punctures created during the treatment (microchannels) trigger a trauma/healing response in your skin. Your skin perceives that there has been a small injury and as a result, floods the tissue with the signal to naturally produce more collagen and elastin to heal the ‘wound’. As the skin heals, skin imperfections soften and even disappear completely with a number of treatments over a length of time.
