Micro-needling

Are you feeling as though your skin is textured? Do you have acne scarring, or fine lines?

Micro-needling, is the most exciting recent innovation in skin rejuvenation. Micro-needling devices contain a unique tip that provides exceptional results, and can treat a number of different skin conditions.

Treatments stimulate natural collagen and elastin production in the skin, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize acne pore size, improve surgical and acne scars with minimal downtime.

Additional Information

How does skin needling / micro-needling work?

The premise is simple - create a small wound and the skin will respond with collagen production and new skin cells. Depending on the depth of the needle penetration, the Dp4™ can offer skin rejuvenation levels from the simple enhancement of product absorption to the clinical treatment of scars and wrinkles.

How deep does the Dp4™ go?

Needle pene-tration can now be increased up to 3.0mm. With the deepest needle penetration ever offered by Dp4™, this innovative setting effortlessly and rapidly treats body contours and thickened, fi-brous tissue. Face and body contours may be effortlessly treated.

Is skin needling painful?

Superficial treatment levels are very tolerable with nothing more than topical numbing gel (the lightest application requires no numbing at all) applied prior to the treatment. In the instance of aggressive treatments, we will discuss the options for making the treatment the most comfortable for you.

What about Downtime?

Day 1: Erythema or red appearance will depend upon how aggressive the treatment was performed.Day 2: A red hue or pink hue persists like a moderate sunburn. Swelling may be more noticeable on the second day.Day 3: Skin can be pink or normal colour. Swelling subsides.
