Let’s talk about Skin Needling.

What is it?
Skin needling or microneedling uses ultra fine sterile needles to create micro wounds within the skin. This controlled injury to the skin activates your bodies natural collagen and elastin production as part of the natural wound healing process. The aim is to create a healthier more youthful skin. Studio Skin now offer Skin needling, and its important for us to educate you on the treatment, what to expect, how to prepare and how to care after treatment. Call the studio for more information or a consultation.

Why have it?
Skin needling aims to improve skin tone and texture, soften fine lines and wrinkles, lighten pigmentation and smooth scarring.

What to expect.
During the treatment you may experience a mild degree of discomfort – stinging, heat, prickling sensation.
After treatment you will have some redness and slight swelling around the areas that have been treated and your skin may feel warm to touch (similar to sunburn). However this is usually minimal and short in duration.

What to do before treatment.
A thorough consultation prior to treatment is essential. In order to get the best possible results we ask that you prepare your skin one month prior to treatment by doing the following on a daily basis: Use a topical Vitamin A, increase water intake, introduce a good quality fish oil and use SPF.
