Skin Needling

How does it work?

Collagen induction therapy, also known as: microneedling, nano-needling, derma-rolling, or skin needling is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny sterile needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen & elastin, which heal your skin & help with a variety of skin concerns. The most common type of skin needling is micro-needle. Although derma-rolling is also quite popular, studies show that it can do more harm to the skin by creating large & uneven cuts to the skin.

Micro-Needling

Stimulates the growth of new collagen & skin tissue. Allowing the skin’s own ability to repair itself. Micro-needling targets fine lines, wrinkles, texture, stretch marks, loss of tone & elasticity, enlarged pores, acne scarring & pigmentation. Topical numbing cream will be used for comfort.

Nano-Needling

Infuses serums deeper into the skin & help increase absorption of topical products to give your skin that beautiful glow. Nano-needling is pain-free with zero downtime and can be done weekly. Nano-needling is similar to micro-needling, in that it creates micro-channels in the skin at a smaller level closer to the surface. No numbing needed.

After Care

Please go over the aftercare protocol prior to booking. Commitment is key for healing skin. As your Aesthetician, I will make sure to go over these with you prior to starting your service & then immediately following your appointment. Digital or physical aftercare cards will be given upon request. They'll also always be available on my website for reference.

Nano-Needling aftercare will vary depending on the service it's paired with. In general, you'll be slightly sensitive due to the actives infused into your skin.

More Info

Something to keep in mind: Needling treatments can take several months to get desired affects. A lot of these factors include lifestyle, aftercare, & what is being treated. Just remember, it took months to years for your skin to get that way so be aware that it can also take time for your skin to get healthy. Numbing will be used for micro-needling & sometimes this is not 100%. Usually though, it's still tolerable & goes by pretty quickly. If you want faster result that are completely pain-free, check out Jet Plasma under services.
