Skin Needling
What is Skin Needling?
Skin Needling or Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment may help those looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
It’s also used in certain anti-aging procedures, such as eyelid surgery and sun spots. Though more research is needed, studies have shown the potential benefits of microneedling in promoting hair growth.
You may be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you’re in good health and have certain skin concerns that haven’t responded to home treatments or other types of dermatologic procedures, such as peels.
This may also be a final step before considering cosmetic surgery for anti-aging and other concerns. Learn more about microneedling and talk to your dermatologist to see if this is the right option for your skin.
What results can you expect from skin needling?
Skin needling promotes collagen induction and elasticity. This results in smoother skin texture, minimise skin pores, improved acne scarring and better quality looking skin. Skin needling results can also be seen with surgical scars where the is a reduction in the scarring.
How does skin needling work?
Skin needling also known as collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a great way to address signs of ageing, enlarged pores and acne scarring. Skin needling creates thousands of micro-channels in the surface of the skin which effectively rejuvenates the skin.
What areas can be treated with skin needling?
Skin needling can be used to treat several parts of the body including the face, neck, décolletage and abdomen. Skin needling can help with stretch marks, acne scarring, enlarged pores, skin texture and dull skin. Here at Next Aesthetics the medical device SkinPen® is used.
