Skin Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin.
This stimulates the body's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
Skin Needling is an excellent choice for individuals looking to improve the overall quality of their skin. The Dermapen 4 works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing process. This leads to the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that are vital for maintaining youthful, firm, and smooth skin.
Consultation:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where our experienced clinicians will assess your skin concerns and determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.
The Treatment:
The Dermapen 4 device is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. We infuse tailored serums specific to your skin concerns. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and the entire process takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Post-Treatment Care:
Following your session, your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response and typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. It's essential to follow the post-care instructions provided by our team, which may include no makeup, avoiding direct sun exposure, applying recommended serums, and using SPF.
