What
is Medical Skin Needling?
Medical Skin Needling is a treatment designed to rejuvenate and revitalise
the skin on the face and neck. Medical Skin Needling consists of micro-needling
products designed to give the skin a new glow. Depending on
their activity these products can be classified into several
categories;
- Vitamins to stimulate and maintain the cellular mechanism
and thus boost the production of collagen and elastin
- Anti-oxidants
to combat photoageing
- Micro-circulation regulators prevent
asphyxia of the skin
- Mineral salts are essential co factors
for the various cellular enzymatic activities
- Hyaluronic acid
plays an important part in maintaining the volume and moisture
content of the skin and contributes to its firmness by its
lubricating effect on the elastin fibres.
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.
What can Medical Skin Needling be used to treat?
Medical Skin Needling is a technique that has been developed to maintain or
revive the natural glow of the skin. It can therefore be used
preventatively but also for treatment in the following cases;
- Loss of glow, dull tired skin. In the majority of cases,
these symptoms are related to problems of asphyxia of the
skin resulting from pollution, smoking and or hormonal problems.
- Loss of tone, elasticity and volume resulting from the slowing
down of the synthesis of the elastin and collagen fibres related
to ageing
- Superficial lines and wrinkles
- Dry irritated and sensitive
skin
- Photo-ageing
What are the benefits?
Use of the roller will help restore skin tightness in the early
stages of ageing, speed up the reduction of pigmented marks,
thicken thin skin, smooth fine lines, soften scars and reduce
dilated blood vessels.
