Micro Needling

Micro Needling

Until recently Micro Needling was quite expensive and needed you to see a specialst regularly; however Skin Needling has now become a common place procedure in most normal house holds. The Derma Roller is a hand held device with many sterilized tiny needles which, as they are rolled over the epidermis, delicately separate the pores of the epidermis and activate the healing process increasing the production of collagen and elastin.

Collagen is crucial for skin to cosmetically heal

Collagen and elastin are the main aspects in the occurance of stretch marks, the primary cause of the occurance of skin problems including stretch marks and wrinkles is that there is not enough of collagen and elastin in the skin, when this is replaced the skin goes back to its smooth and firm state. When an injury occurs, such as a cut, the skin repairs itself to stay healthy; however the skin doesn’t recognise that scars are undesirable.

In order to remove striae, scars and lines and wrinkles, the skin needs to think that there is reason to start healing producing more collagen and elastin, using a Derma roller achieves this by carefully seperating the pores of the upper layer of skin giving the impression of a trauma on the skin and needing to be repaired. regular Skin Needling will make sure that you skin heals itself to a cosmetic level.

Is Micro-Needling the best option?

Compared to other practices (and when done at home), Micro-Needling is much cheaper and better then procedures such as only using creams as the skin takes in only a minor percentage of creams applied, however when applied within an hour of using the Dermaroller the creams are absorbed much better as the pores are open.

Micro Needling can be used to reduce a wide range of skin conditions; Stretch marks, Cellulite, Wrinkles, pitted skin, acne scars, surgery scars, scars, crow’s feet etc
