Treating Skin Imperfections
Skin Needling also known as collagen induction therapy or microneedling is an incredibly effective treatment, providing a solution to fine lines, wrinkles, stubborn acne and spots , scars, (including acne, chicken pox and surgical scarring) as well as improving the skin’s condition, tone and texture. Using the method of controlled micro trauma there is an increased production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Microneedling is a SKIIN favourite and one of our most popular treatments as it totally remodels, corrects and heals the skin, almost every client would benefit from this treatment.
Our medical device uses super fine sterile needles in a skin pen which creates hundreds of microscopic channels into the skin at controlled depths from 0.1mm to 2mm. For clients wanting to maximise treatment results I recommend combining our Exosome Microneedling.

How Long Does The Treatment Take?
The skin is steamed and cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied to face and neck 20 minutes before the treatment making it completely comfortable, the needling session takes around 90 minutes
Does the treatment hurt?
No the numbing cream makes the treatment comfortable however the skin can feel warm and tender after the treatment when the numbing effect wears off.
Is there downtime?
Yes the skin is noticeably red immediately after treatment this subsides in the first 24-48 hours. The skin will feel tender and sore to touch for 24 hours post treatment and will also be dry, it may flake and peel slightly, this can last 2-4 days. The skin should be fully healed within a week with no visible signs of the treatment. Usually Exosomes & LED Light Therapy is combined with skin needling to help collagen synthesis and aid recovery whilst reducing downtime.
How many treatments will I need?
Optimal results are achieved after 3 – 6 sessions every 4-6 weeks depending on needle depth used, and then a maintenance treatment every 2 - 6 months. Collagen production through controlled stimulation Improves skin quality & thickness. Skin needling can be used on face, neck and body.
