WHAT IS: SKIN NEEDLING?

Skin needling is a beauty procedure that uses tiny needles to puncture the top layer of skin, creating a controlled injury and triggering a healing response that involves increased production of collagen and textural improvement. All skin types can be treated with skin needling, and side effects are usually minimal. The treatment can be used to minimise the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improve radiance and can also reduce acne scarring. Eight to 10 fortnightly to monthly treatments are recommended, with optimal results achieved after 12 months.
