What is micro-needling?

Micro-needling is a revolutionary skincare treatment that aims to lift, tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Micro-needling is performed using a derma pen, a handheld device with a tip full of fine needles that is designed to be used at home or in-clinic by a medical professional. The needles are quickly and repeatedly inserted into the skin at a depth of 0.5 to 2.5mm, creating 100’s if not 1000’s of tiny puncture wounds into the upper layers of the skin. These tiny puncture wounds create microtrauma in the skin and stimulate growth factors and fibroblasts in the dermis to produce more connective tissues – collagen and elastin. 

As we age less collagen and elastin are produced in the skin and the appearance becomes saggy, loose and dull. Aging and sun exposure also results in fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots (pigmentation) in the skin. These can be treated with skin creams and serums, but this only moisturises the outer dead skin cells that form the epidermis. Micro-needling creates channel through the skin to the deeper dermis that allows for greater penetration of the nutrients in the creams and serums. 

What serums are used during micro-needling?

We use either hyaluronic acid (HA) or platelet rich plasma (PRP) as our serums of choice for micro-needling. The benefit of the serum is that the derma pen glides across the skin during treatment so the entire face and neck can be treated easily. HA and PRP can penetrate to the dermis where the keratinocytes are producing new skins cells, nourishing and hydrating this process for healthy abundant skin cell production.
