Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that improve skin structure and firmness. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful in appearance. The treatment can be customized for different skin types and concerns, making it versatile for various aesthetic goals
Skin needling is effective for treating a variety of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture irregularities. It can also help improve skin tone and boost hydration levels. Additionally, skin needling enhances the absorption of topical treatments, making it an excellent complement to serums or growth factors applied post-procedure, further optimizing results and skin health.
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that play a vital role in cellular processes such as growth, proliferation, and tissue repair. In skincare, they are often used to enhance healing and rejuvenation. Growth factors help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, support skin cell turnover, and promote overall skin health. They can be derived from various sources, including human cells, and are increasingly incorporated into aesthetic treatments to enhance their effectiveness
When combined with skin needling, growth factors can significantly enhance the treatment's outcomes. After the skin has been micro-needled, the channels created allow for deeper penetration of these beneficial proteins, maximizing their efficacy. This synergy helps accelerate healing, boosts collagen production, and improves skin texture and elasticity more effectively than either treatment alone. Patients often notice faster recovery and improved skin quality when growth factors are integrated into their skin needling regimen
Results from skin needling typically start to appear within a few weeks as the skin begins to heal and regenerate. Many patients notice improvements in skin texture and tone after the first treatment, with optimal results usually visible after a series of sessions, often spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Continued improvements can be expected for several months as collagen production increases and the skin continues to rejuvenate
The number of skin needling treatments you may need varies based on your individual skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of 3 to 6 sessions is recommended for optimal results, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows your skin to heal and regenerate between treatments, enhancing collagen production and improving overall skin texture. During your initial consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin and provide a personalized treatment plan, including the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired outcomes. Regular maintenance treatments may also be suggested every 6 to 12 months to sustain results over time.
