SKIN TREATMENTS

Skin Needling

Skin Needling is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance.

Skin Needling can be significantly reduced and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks. The skin needling can be used on all parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, back and buttock.

Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months after a treatment as collagen production continues.

Some patients only require a single treatment once per year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 3 – 4 treatments spaced about 6 – 8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced phot-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6 – 8 sessions at 6 weeks intervals.

Skin Needling Aftercare:

For a 48 hours’ time period post treatment, it is advised to avoid the following activities or appointments:

• Excessive gymnasium or cardio workout
• Sauna or hot spa / bath
• Solarium
• Swimming in a chlorinated pool
• Use of vitamin A, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), benzoyl peroxide or alcohol based topical skin care

How long does the procedure last?

The procedure takes 30 – 45 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.

What is the downtime?

Immediately after the treatment you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing depends on the Skin Needling device setting used and the number of overlapping passes your skin care professional performs. On average, patients are red up to 2 – 4 days. Many patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours.
