• How does Medical Skin Needling work?

  The principle of the roller is that the “micro-needles” puncture the horny layer of the epidermis, which is the main obstruction to penetration of active ingredients. Once this layer has been breached, the active ingredients in the skin care products can reach into the depths of the skin about 10,000 times more effectively than by simply applying the products topically. The higher the levels of vitamin A and vitamin C that can penetrate into the lower layers of the epidermis, the more collagen can be made. Therefore allowing natural collagenesis to occur.

• How long will the treatment take?

  The treatment time can range from 5-20 minutes depending on the speed, accuracy and density. It should be repeated at home between two to seven times a week.

• How will my skin feel and look after treatment?

  Your skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after treatment, however a mineral make-up can be applied. The skin may feel tight, dry, flake and peel for 2 to 7 days depending on the level of the treatment. The application of a moisturizer is recommended.
