So what exactly is microneedling?
“Imagine a magic wand that could rejuvenate your skin, boost collagen, and fade those pesky imperfections. Well, microneedling is pretty darn close to that! Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy (or CIT for short) is a minimally invasive treatment that is extremely effective at resurfacing the skin and is a brilliant treatment for overall skin rejuvenation.

Well, microneedling is pretty darn close to that! Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy (or CIT for short) is a minimally invasive treatment that is extremely effective at resurfacing the skin and is a brilliant treatment for overall skin rejuvenation.

Micro needling is performed with a micro needling pen or skin needling device and it works by using small needles to puncture the skin barrier, creating tiny micro wounds, which then trigger a healing response within the body. During the regeneration process, new collagen growth is stimulated in the process, resulting in smoother, younger looking skin.
Glow Up with Collagen Boost
“First things first,let’ss talk about the holy grail of skincare: Collagen. Think of collagen as the scaffolding that keeps your skin plump and firm. Over time, though, life happens, our bodies slow down, and our collagen production unfortunately takes a nosedive. Enter stage left – microneedling! Those little needle pricks stimulate collagen and elastin production, making your skin bounce back likeit’ss on a trampoline. The result? A fresh, youthful glow that screams,””I woke up like this.””First things first, let’s talk about the holy grail of skincare: Collagen.

The benefits of skin needling
As well as encouraging skin rejuvenation and increasing production levels of elastin and collagen, treatments with skin needling pens volumise and plump the complexion, strengthen the skin barrier and boost our skin’s elasticity. As the new collagen is produced and dispersed throughout, wrinkles appear less deep, fine lines are reduced, pitted skin fills in, texture irregularities become less noticeable, acne scars fade, and stretch marks become smoother.
Fading Away Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room – those fine lines and wrinkles that seem to multiply overnight. Microneedling is like a superhero that swoops in to save the day. By promoting collagen and elastin production, it smoothens out those lines, leaving you with a complexion that rivals a baby’s bottom. Sayonara, crow’s feet!
Acne Scars, Be Gone!
If you’ve battled acne, you know the war isn’t over when the pimples clear up. Acne scars love to linger, often overstaying their welcome and leaving hard-to-treat scars on your face. Microneedling is here to fade those scars into oblivion. The treatment encourages the skin to regenerate, helping to erase the remnants of past breakouts. Hello, clear canvas!
Hyperpigmentation’s Worst Enemy
“Sunspots, age spots, and other uneven skin tones, meet your match. Microneedling helps break up pigmentation, giving you a brighter, more even complexion.It’ss like telling those dark spots,”You’ree not invited to this skin party!” The result? A radiant, more uniform glow that rivals your favourite Instagram filter.”Sunspots, age spots, and other uneven skin tones, meet your match.

The Magical Microchannels
One of the coolest perks of microneedling? During the treatment, the tiny needles create microchannels in your skin. These tiny openings are like the VIP entrance for your skincare products. Once the microneedling is done, your skin is primed and ready to soak up all the goodness from your serums and moisturizers. It’s like upgrading from economy to first class for your skincare routine.
Bye-Bye Pore Woes
Enlarged pores, we’re looking at you. Microneedling doesn’t just target the surface; it also helps tighten and refine those pesky pores. It’s like giving your skin a makeover, minimizing the appearance of pores for a smoother, more polished look. Filter-like skin, anyone?
Some further benefits of microneedling include:
- Overall skin repair/rejuvenation
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines (including dynamic and expression lines)
- Ability to improve the appearance of deep wrinkles
- Helps treat scars of the face and body
- Assists with fading unwanted stretch marks and crepe-like skin
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Promotes cellular turn-over, increases circulation and helps boost collagen levels
- Boosts skin elasticity and skin plumpness
What happens during a microneedling treatment?
Although, for some, the thought of a bunch of needles flying at your face may sound terrifying – the truth is that the treatment is quite comfortable. The needles are so fine you will barely feel anything, at most a light scratching, and the treatment itself is quite quick. Plus, the benefits to your long-term skin health far out weight any mild discomfort felt during treatment. What’s a little pain if it means we get to achieve the skin of our dreams??
Treatments are fast, only mildly uncomfortable, with most usually requiring 4-6 treatments, depending on your individual needs. A topical anesthetic is applied prior, making the treatment tolerable with minimal discomfort experienced.
Will I experience any downtime?
Unlike other skin rejuvenation treatments, dermal-needling results in minimal downtime. Immediately after treatment, you can expect your skin to feel warm and tight for the first couple of hours – almost like a mild sunburn. This will start to dissipate within a couple of hours, with only a mild redness remaining the following day. Fresher, brighter, more youthful looking skin will start to appear within 4-6 weeks.
A Little Something for Everyone
What’s fantastic about microneedling is its versatility. Whether you’re dealing with texture issues, sagging skin, or just want an overall skin refresh, microneedling has got your back (or, should I say, face?). It’s like the ultimate multitasking queen of treatments, addressing a variety of concerns with finesse.
