Your body has an amazing capacity to heal itself when it’s aware of an injury. What if you could harness that power and use it to support your skin? Welcome to Complete Skin Needling.
How does healing occur?
Special white blood cells named macrophages are sent to the injured area to fight infection. Oxygen-rich red blood cells arrive to build new tissue and chemical signals tell your body to make more collagen to help strengthen your skin.
Dry needling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing process in chosen areas. It can be used for a wide range of skin concerns.
Here are our top 5:
1. Fine lines and wrinkles
As you get older, your skin’s collagen production naturally decreases, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. The micro-injuries created by skin needling may help to boost collagen and elastin production, two important proteins for skin health.
2. Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
Skin needling may help to reduce the appearance of sunspots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
3. Enlarged pores
Enlarged pores can develop due to factors such as excess oil production, ageing, or sun exposure. Skin needling is a treatment option that may improve overall skin texture and reduce the visibility of pores over time.
4. Dull or tired-looking skin
Skin needling may enhance overall skin vitality by improving circulation and stimulating cellular activity.
5. Mild acne scarring and texture concerns
For moderate to severe acne scarring, this is not the best treatment pathway, but for mild texture concerns, skin needling may be a good option to improve the appearance and overall texture of your skin.
