Skin Needling

If this is your first visit to our Salon you will require an initial consultation before booking your skin needling treatment.

Your skin will be cleansed and prepped before the treatment begins.  The Dermapen will be passed over the skin creating a “micro-trauma” as the device pierces the skin with fine stainless steel sterile needles that the body will recognise, reacting with production of new cells, collagen and elastin. Dermapen’s oscillating action effortlessly glides over the skin stimulating the body’s own healing and regenerative process.

The treatment itself is very quick, not generally painful and usually very well tolerated by most clients.  You will feel some slight pressure and a scratching sensation over the skin. Although we don’t recommend the use of numbing cream to ensure optimal skin response,  everyone’s pain and discomfort threshold is different, so if you would prefer to use numbing cream we will discuss this before your treatment.

The number of treatments depends on what concerns we are treating, however Skin Needling is best delivered over a series of 4-6 treatments for general skin rejuvenation. More sessions may be required for more sun damaged or scarred skin.

The treatments are performed at 4-6 weekly intervals.  Following a full course of treatments it can take up to 6 months for results to become visible due to the production and synthesis of new collagen and elastin. Maintenance Skin Needling treatments can then be performed.

It is normal to appear quite red and there will be inflammation present. It can feel a little like sunburn, tight and uncomfortable.   It is recommended to avoid makeup for the rest of the day. The redness will settle and is usually not noticeable the following day when mineral makeup can be safely worn. It is important to follow your aftercare instructions as recommended by your Therapist.
