What is dermaneedling?

Skin specialist from Facedoctors Northland talks to Savvy readers about dermaneedling.

Dermaneedling (also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy) is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a woundhealing response and renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect.

Dermaneedling creates micropore openings within in the cell barrier to allow deep penetration of ingredients. This treatment should only be done in sterile environments.

Not only is technique important, but it’s about quality of active ingredients

At Facedoctors we offer all of the above in a pain-free solution with our staff being trained by our very own cosmetic doctor with 16 year’s international experience in advanced skincare.

Benefits of dermaneedling

Dermaneedling is most commonly used to treat the following skin conditions: • Dull skin: Rejuvenate tired and dull skin and combat the initial signs of ageing • Wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles on the face can be visibly reduced, as Dermaneedling triggers collagen production • Scarring: Scars from acne and Chicken Pox can be improved and an uneven texture can be smoothed out with Dermaneedling • Pigmentation: Can help to fade dark patches such as pigmentation due to sun damage or ageing.

Dermaneedling is a great treatment for you if you have darker skin because it doesn’t involve peels or lasers, which can cause pigmentation issues. Treatments can be performed on the body as well as the face.
