The benefits of Microneedling include:

Collagen Production

The primary benefit of microneedling is its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin's elasticity, reducing fine lines, and promoting a smoother complexion.

Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines

By promoting collagen growth, microneedling can help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Improved Skin Texture

Microneedling can help refine the skin's texture, making it smoother and more even. It's effective for treating uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and rough patches.

Scar Reduction

Microneedling can help improve the appearance of certain types of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars, by encouraging the growth of new, healthier skin

Enhanced Absorption of Topical Products

The micro-channels created during microneedling allow skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.

Minimized Stretch Marks

Microneedling may also help reduce the visibility of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and improving skin texture in the affected areas.

Microneedling can be beneficial for a range of skin types, but there are considerations to be kept in mind and a thorough consultation with an experienced therapist at Studio Skin can help advise the best treatment plan. The types of skin concerns that can be addressed with skin needling include.

Aging Skin:

Microneedling is particularly effective for individuals with aging skin who want to target wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of firmness.

Acne Scarring

It can also be helpful for those with mild to moderate acne scars, as the procedure encourages the growth of new skin cells and collagen in the scarred areas.

Uneven Texture and Tone

Microneedling can improve the appearance of skin with uneven texture and tone, addressing issues like roughness and hyperpigmentation.

Stretch Marks

People with stretch marks caused by rapid growth or weight changes might see improvement through microneedling treatments.

Overall Skin Enhancement:

Microneedling is suitable for individuals seeking general skin enhancement, such as improved radiance and smoothness.

It is very important to note that Microneedling may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, active infections, or hypersensitivity. It's important to consult with one of our expert skin therapists before undergoing the procedure to determine its appropriateness for your skin type and concerns.

A consultation with one of our team will commence with a thorough skin assessment looking at your skin type, specific concerns, and medical history to determine if microneedling is suitable. In the lead up to Microneedling it is important to follow these recommendations.

Avoid Sun Exposure

Limit sun exposure and use proper sun protection (SPF 30 or higher) in the weeks leading up to your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and prone to complications during microneedling.

Discontinue Certain Treatments

A few weeks before your microneedling session, avoid other skin treatments that might sensitize your skin, such as chemical peels, laser treatments, or strong exfoliants.

Topical Products

Depending on your skincare professional's recommendations, you might be advised to avoid certain topical products like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for a week or more prior to the treatment.

Hydration

Keep your skin well-hydrated by using a gentle moisturizer. Hydrated skin tends to respond better to microneedling.

Healthy Diet

Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to promote skin health. Hydrate adequately by drinking plenty of water.

Avoid Blood Thinners

If possible, avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements for a few days before the treatment, as they can increase the risk of bruising.

It is essential to inform your therapist about any recent changes in your health or medications you're taking. Some medical conditions and medications can affect your skin's healing process. In the lead up to microneedling it is best to follow instructions such as.

Avoid Smoking and Alcohol

If you smoke or consume alcohol, consider reducing or avoiding these habits in the days leading up to your treatment. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can hinder the skin's healing process.

Cleanse Your Skin

On the day of the procedure, cleanse your skin thoroughly to ensure it's free from makeup, dirt, and oils. This allows the microneedling device to work more effectively.

No Active Skin Infections

If you have an active skin infection, it's advisable to postpone the procedure until the infection has cleared up.

For optimal results with Microneedling it is essential to have started on a course of Vitamin A serums to prepare your skin. High potency fish oils can also help minimise downtime and speed up the recovery period post treatment.

Our experienced team will provide you with details around what to expect after a treatment. The downtime after microneedling can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment, the length of the needles used, and individual skin sensitivity. Here's a general guideline of what to expect in terms of downtime after microneedling.

Mild Redness

After the procedure, it's common to experience some degree of redness, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness can last for about 24 to 72 hours, depending on how aggressive the treatment was. In many cases, the redness tends to subside within the first day or two.

Swelling

Swelling can accompany the redness, particularly if longer needles were used or if your skin is naturally prone to swelling. Swelling usually peaks within 24 to 48 hours after the procedure and gradually diminishes thereafter.

Sensitivity

Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual for a day or two after microneedling. It's important to avoid exposing your skin to potential irritants during this time, such as harsh skincare products or direct sunlight.

Dryness and Peeling

As your skin heals, you might experience some dryness and flakiness, similar to what you might experience with a mild exfoliation. This can last for a few days to a week, depending on your skin's healing process.

Avoid Makeup and Sun Exposure

It's generally recommended to avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to heal properly.

Additionally, it's crucial to protect your skin from sun exposure during the healing phase, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays. We recommend no exposure to UV immediately post treatment.

While immediate results might not be visible, the improvement in skin texture and radiance, and the full benefits of microneedling typically become more apparent as your skin heals and new collagen forms. This can take several weeks to a few months. Remember that everyone's skin reacts differently, so what you experience might not necessarily match someone else's experience.
