Skin Needling at Adelaide Skin Therapy

Revitalize Your Skin with Advanced Skin Needling

At Adelaide Skin Therapy, we offer skin needling, also known as microneedling, as a powerful treatment to rejuvenate and restore your skin’s natural beauty. Skin needling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, or simply want to give your skin a youthful boost, skin needling can deliver remarkable results.

What is Skin Needling?

Skin needling involves the use of a device with fine, sterile needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.

How Skin Needling Works

During the treatment, the microneedling device is gently moved across the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries are small enough to avoid damage to the outer layer of the skin but effective enough to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Over time, as the skin heals and regenerates, you’ll notice a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections.

Benefits of Skin Needling

– Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By boosting collagen production, skin needling helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance.

– Improves Skin Texture: Skin needling can significantly improve the texture of your skin, making it smoother and more refined.

– Minimises Scars: This treatment is particularly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scarring.

– Evens Skin Tone: Skin needling helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and other forms of discoloration, leading to a more even complexion.

– Enhances Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during the treatment allow for better absorption of skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness.

– Minimal Downtime: Skin needling offers impressive results with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Ideal Candidates for Skin Needling

Skin needling is suitable for most skin types and can be customized to address a wide range of skin concerns. It’s ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, or minimize the appearance of scars and pigmentation.

What to Expect During Your Skin Needling Treatment

The skin needling procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects usually subside within a few days.

Recommended Treatment Schedule

For optimal results, we recommend a series of 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals, your current skin condition, skincare routine and lifestyle and diet. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help sustain your results.
