Skin needling, otherwise known as micro-needling is a form of natural collagen induction that is used facially to smooth wrinkles and improve depressed acne scarring . It can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring on the body. This is not a new anti-ageing method . In the late 80's skin specialists had already published research on results of needling on scars and stretchmarks. Dermatologists also noticed that areas of depigmented skin tended to repigment during the process through transplantation of melanocyte cells from the normal pigmented areas to the lighter areas.
It is one of the easiest and most effective skin treatments available today and can safely be performed on all skin types, without any risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which can be associated with other procedures , ie laser treatment and deep chemical peeels.
Skin ageing and wrinkles occur due to the continued breakdown of collagen and elastin at a faster rate than it is produced after the age of 25 years.By increasing these key ingredients the skin can gradually become more rejuvenated.
Microscopic punctures caused by the medical roller stimulate collagen production in the papillary dermis layer by triggering the fibroblasts in a cascade wound healing process..Each successive treatment will lead to further collagen production that will progressively fill in depressed scars and deep lines, and make the skin appear firmer. The infilling process can continue for up to 12 months following treatment.
Needling can be safely combined with botox and dermal fillers for even greater results. A combination of needling with hyaluronic acid injections can tighten up the skin while additional volumising fillers can lead to an overall 'facelift' effect by further sculpting and lifting the facial tissues. Such appropriately performed skin needling may postpone a face-lift for a decade.
