Micro-needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is great for treating scars, reducing fine lines, wrinkles and cellulite, reducing pore size and hyper-pigmentation. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, increases cell turnover improving skin tone, texture and firmness.
We use a professional micro-needling device that makes tiny micro wounds in the skin, this stimulates collagen and elastin production and increases cell turnover. The device has small needles moving at high speed to pierce the skin at depths of 0.5mm to 2.5mm. By stimulating the skin dermis in this way it increases the absorption of skin care products up to 3,000%. We use a unique collection of herbal serums such as apple stem cells during the treatment to give greater results. All products we use on the skin are natural and vegan.

During a micro-needling session, you will lie down on a heated chakra infra red bio mat. This encourages whole body relaxation. We begin with 20 minutes of red, blue or yellow light therapy over the face and neck area. We can also apply a numbing cream during this time.
We then cleanse your skin in preparation for micro-needling. During your treatment we use a combination of preparations to enhance the outcome. Apple stem cells from Switzerland in a base of hyaluronic acid is one of the key serums we use. We may use other preparations containing herbal extracts depending on your skin condition. After the treatment we apply a soothing face mask to calm and heal.
It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing to your micro-needling session. You should come for treatment with clean skin and no make-up.
There is minimal down time with micro-needling. You should keep out of the sun for at least 24 hours and your skin may feel sunburnt and appear red for 8-12 hours. Best results are seen about 2-3 weeks post treatment. The therapy continues to work for a number of months as the skin regenerates.
Everyone has different needs and response to treatment. For most skin conditions it is recommended to have a course of 4 sessions to see the greatest improvement.
