Skin needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a non-invasive procedure. It involves using a special device with fine needles to create small punctures on the skin’s surface, triggering the skin’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin, which helps to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. In addition to improving skin texture and tone, skin needling has many other benefits, such as reducing hyperpigmentation and increasing the effectiveness of your skincare.
Skin needling has many benefits, including reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars which lead to improvements in skin texture and tone. Skin needling can also be used to reduce the visibility hyperpigmentation and rosacea as the healing process can improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
Skin needling may cause mild discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. The level of discomfort varies depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment, but most people describe it as a mild pricking or stinging sensation.
Skin Needling is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are some risks, such as infection and scarring.
The recovery time after skin needling is minimal, with most people experiencing mild redness and swelling for a few days. Some people may experience flaking or peeling of the skin, which is a natural part of the healing process. It is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your clinician to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.
Skin needling is suitable for most skin types, including aging skin, acne-prone skin, and skin with scarring or hyperpigmentation. However, it is not recommended for people with active infections or inflammation, a history of keloid scarring, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
