SKIN TREATMENTS

SKIN NEEDLING

 ABOUT 

Skin Needling is a non-invasive skin needling treatment that restores and rejuvenates the skin by reducing wrinkles and fine lines, tightening and improving elasticity, shrinking enlarged pores, minimising scarring, and repairing pigmentation, sun damaged and ageing skin.

Pain ●○○○○
Treatment Time 1 hour

 TREATMENT PREPARATION 

Prime your skin two weeks prior with vitamin A, vitamin C and other growth factor serums

  • Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for two weeks prior

  • Cease blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications, omega-oils, multivitamins, vitamin B, vitamin E and glucosamine for one week prior to minimise the risk of bruising

  • Men are to be clean shaven prior to treatment

Advise your clinician if you:

  • Are taking topical antibiotics for acne (will need to cease two weeks prior to treatment)

  • Have active sunburn, solar keratosis or tan

  • Have cosmetic body implants

  • Are taking arrhythmia medications (will need to cease prior to treatment)

  • Have an auto-immune disorder

  • Are taking blood thinners (aspirin, Warfarin, ibuprofen, fish oils, ginkgo biloba and alcohol), photosensitisers, and/or antidepressants (consult with client’s general practitioner prior to treatment)

  • Have received cosmetic injectable treatments in the past 14 days or electrolysis in the past week

 WHO IS NOT SUITABLE

  • Is pregnant

  • Is, or has taken isotretinoin in the past six months

  • Has cold sores, acne, or any other skin infection

  • Has tested positive for Hep B, Hep C, or HIV

  • Has had any laser resurfacing in the last three months

  • Has undergone radiation treatment in the last 12 months

  • Has a history of post-inflammatory pigmentation

  • If you are unsure, contact our clinic.

 HOW IT WORKS 

Skin Needling penetrates the top layer of skin with micro-needles that create pin-point injuries in the deeper layers. This then triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation. Skin needling is used to treat the face, neck and décolletage.

 

Our Luxe Medical-Grade Skin Needling Facial is complete with custom peels, tailored serums and a revitalising cooling mask.

​

 RESULTS 

Results are visible after six weeks and last for up to one to three months. Regular treatments will help to maintain the best results.

 WHAT TO EXPECT 

Prior to your first treatment, your clinician will consult with you to assess your suitability for skin needling and discuss any concerns or questions you may have. The treatment involves our clinician making small punctures to the outermost layers of your skin with the Skin pen. An anaesthetic agent will be applied to minimise discomfort throughout the treatment.

​

After treatment, you can expect redness, swelling, sensitivity, tenderness which is usually resolved within 24 hours.

 POST TREATMENT CARE 

  • Avoid excessive exercise in the first 24 hours

  • Avoid scrubs and exfoliants and strong skincare products for the first three to five days

  • Avoid cosmetic injectables for the first week

  • Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for the first week

  • Consider taking natural supplements or antiviral medication for prevention if you are prone to cold sores

 FOLLOW UP AND NEXT STEPS 

To achieve the best results, an initial course of three treatments every four-six weeks is recommended.

Your next treatment is due within six weeks.
