Micro-Needling

A cosmetic procedure making use of needle therapy to induce the production of collagen, resulting in the reduced appearance of wrinkles and a vibrant, healthy-looking skin.

COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY (MICRO-NEEDLING)

Medical micro-needling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that stimulates the production of new collagen under your skin. Through tiny, sterilised needles, this skin-tightening procedure aims to create controlled injury under the skin’s surface, inducing the formation of elastin- and collagen fibres (neo-collagenases). It’s a safe and effective treatment that over time plumps and thickens the skin to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles and fine lines. 

 

We use topical gels and creams to speed-up the recovery process and increase collagen production, utilising the channels created by the micro-needles for better absorption of these aids through the top layer of the skin. Collagen induction therapy (CIT) also encourages the formation of new capillaries, and the improved blood supply advances overall skin texture to give you an energized, smooth skin.

The main reason one would get wrinkles, is due to these proteins breaking down or production of these proteins slowing down, resulting in visible fine lines in the décolleté region.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This depends on the density and length of the needles used, but generally the skin appears pink or red (much like a sunburn) for 24 – 48 hours. Older patients, or those with sensitive skin, can take up to 4 days to fully recover.

Very occasionally there might be minor bleeding or bruising immediately after the treatment. Except for the red sunburnt appearance in the first 24 – 48 hours, the skin might feel warm, tight and itchy for a while. The inflammatory condition in the skin is generally short-lived, will fade after a couple of days and depends on the skin colour of the individual.

New, regenerated skin usually appears between 6-8 weeks after the treatment, gradually improving and evolving in ensuing months. Although the treatment could produce noticeable results, a series of 6-8 treatments is recommended 4-6 weeks apart from each other for optimum results.

It is not overly painful, but some form of discomfort can be experienced. Our aesthetic therapists are proficient and precise. They will use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin to ensure the least discomfort and pain.

Excessive sweating should be avoided for the first 1-2 days after treatment. You can return to work immediately if your skin is not too red and medical foundation can be applied to reduce its visibility.
