Suitable For
Anyone with an uneven skin tone, scarring or fine lines or wrinkles.
Skin needling, otherwise known as ‘microneedling’ or ‘dermaroller’, is a medical grade collagen-induction therapy that reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring. Particularly transformative on the face, Aesthetic Health’s skin needling procedure is perfect for restoring the vitality of aged and sun damaged skin.
To achieve a more even skin tone and smoother texture, skin needling encourages your skin to repair itself naturally. By moving a sterile dermaroller across numbed skin and avoiding harsh chemicals, microscopic punctures are caused to the skin’s surface. Your body responds to these pinpricks by initiating it’s own organic healing response. The treatment takes up to an hour and is highly safe, and after 5-6 days of downtime you’ll be left with a dramatic all-round renewal as brighter, healthier skin develops a much smoother complexion.
Skin needling is suitable for anyone who wants to reverse the damage done by time or UV rays, or people who suffer with acne scarring. Dr Julia Sevi and our expert practitioners at Aesthetic Health recommend three skin needling treatments to achieve the best results, but your specific requirements will be assessed at your in-depth, initial consultation. Most people don’t experience any discomfort during the procedure due to our use of local numbing agents, but we offer the ability to adjust the needle sizes to make the treatment more comfortable and especially effective.
