Medical Microneedling
About
Medical microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to make thousands of precise micro-injuries to the top layer of your skin. This triggers your skin's natural ability to repair itself and stimulates collagen and elastin production, two proteins that help the skin's strength, suppleness, and general health. Collagen is an important component of the skin's structure, providing firmness and stability, whereas elastin helps the skin to stretch and bounce back to its former shape.
In addition, by forming these microscopic channels in the skin, medical microneedling also enables for improved absorption of topical skincare products, such as serums or moisturisers, which may penetrate deeper into the skin and provide more effective benefits.
Medical microneedling can be used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scarring (such as acne, chicken pox and surgical)
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Superficial hyperpigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Poor tone and texture
