Medik8® Skin NeedLing with the Titanium Dermaroller
Skin Needling is the latest skin renewal technique to restore a healthy youthful appearance of your skin. Skin Needling produces similar results to dermabrasion, lasers and deep chemical peels, but is much less invasive and does not require the removal of the epidermis. As a result the healing time is significantly shorter and there is no posttreatment skin sensitivity to UV light.
Skin Needling is also one of the few skin therapies that are suitable for treating all skin types, including ethnic skin, and which can be used to treat the fragile skin around the eyes, mouth and on the neck.
How does it work?
The concept of Skin Needling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns and other abrasions. Immediately after an injury occurs to the skin our body reuses the damaged collagen and elastin fibres, as well as other damaged skin components, to produce new ones. Skin Needling allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self repair mechanism by creating micro – “injuries” in the skin which trigger new collagen synthesis, without the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin.
Skin Needling procedures are performed in a very safe and accurate manner with the use of sterile single-use Medik8® Titanium Dermaroller. Before the procedure commences a topical anaesthetic is applied to the skin to ensure a comfortable experience. The procedure is normally completed within 35-40 minutes. Visible signs of skin rejuvenation are seen after just 6-8 weeks following the procedure and continue for up to a year. A course of three Medik8 Skin Needing sessions, at 6-8 week intervals, is usually recommended to achieve optimum results; however you will notice great skin improvement after just one treatment.
Skin Needing is a safe, simple and virtually pain free treatment for:
- Wrinkles and lines
- Lack of skin firmness and elasticity
- Scarring
- Acne and chicken pox scars
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage
- Under-eye bags
