WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING

Also known as Micro-Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), Skin Needling is a minimally invasive, advanced skin treatment designed to heal, strengthen and rejuvenate the skin by activating the skin’s natural wound healing process in order to increase collagen and elastin production within the skin.

Popular for it’s fast and effective results, Skin Needling is suitable for all skin types – able to treat a variety of skin concerns such as acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and sun damage as well as  fine lines, wrinkles and even hair loss or thinning.     

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SKIN NEEDLING

In addition to being minimally invasive in comparison to other skin rejuvenation methods, Skin Needling is a chemical-free, completely natural collagen inducing procedure able to effectively reduce imperfections by improving the communication between skin cells responsible for maintaining the health of your skin.  

Furthermore, Skin Needling increases the effectiveness of active skincare ingredients by facilitating enhanced penetration into the deepest layers of the skin.

Skin Needling can be used to treat and improve:

• Sun Damage
• Scaring
• Acne control
• Hyperpigmentation
• Fine lines, wrinkles and skin laxity 
• Open pores and skin texture
• Skin redness, thread veins and rosacea
• Hair loss and thinning

HOW IS SKIN NEEDLING PERFORMED

Able to be performed via a manual hand- held roller or motorised pen device, the Skin Needling process essentially involves the use of fine micro-needles to create thousands of tiny, invisible punctures (micro-channels) into the top layer of skin.

Although these micro-channels do not damage the skin, they do ‘trick’ the skin into repair mode, stimulating the skin’s natural healing response to release various growth factors as well as boosting the formation of collagen and elastin.

At Brazilian Beauty, we use a medical grade, automated Dermal Pen device designed to provide safe and hygienic Skin Needling treatments with minimal discomfort and recovery.  

Performed by our specially trained team of Dermal Therapists and Cosmetic Nurses, our Dermal Pen Skin Needling procedure can be customised to your individual skin needs and includes the infusion of topical skin boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid to further enhance your treatment results.

Depending on your skin concerns and expected outcomes, your Brazilian Beauty Dermal Therapist may also suggest other Skin Needling based treatments such as our Vampire Facial or Beauty Booster procedure.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED

Although frequency may vary depending on your skin’s initial condition, lifestyle impact and your expectations, generally a series of 4 to 6 treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.

Once you are happy with the results achieved, you can maintain the look with top-up treatments as recommended.

Your Cosmetic Nurse or Dermal Therapist will consult and advise you on which home care and/or in-clinic treatments will best support and maintain your results in between visits.
