a Natural Alternative to Laser Resurfacing

WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING?
Needling is a sophisticated technique which promotes the body's natural
production of collagen and melacantis (pigment producing cells). This
process smooths out scars, wrinkles and can even the tone of some
skin discolorations.  This non-envasive procedure is long lasting and all natual.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Needling is accomplished through microscopic punctures made to the top layer of the epidermis. This stimulates the body’s natural wound healing by breaking up old collagen strands to produce natural collagen and melanocytes, making smoother skin.  Needling tends to simulate the effects of  those from laser resurfacing, but without the damage to the epidermis.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Some clients see immediate results from needling, others notice improvement gradually over an 8 week period. Individual results vary as each body’s regeneration will vary.  Use of other skin treatments can help prevent loss of collagen, and  scars remain replumped.  Most clients require multifple sessions to achieve desired results that generally last years.
                                                                                                                                             
IS IT SAFE?
Needling is safe with stringent cross-contamination standards, and because nothing is injected, allergic reactions and side-effects are non-existent. Needling is a minimally invasive procedure.  With rapid healing and simple aftercare, needling is an attractive solution for scars and wrinkles.

After only 2 weeks, the client is showing a marked reduction in the wrinkles.

 

SCARS FROM ACNE & INJURIES
The pitted scars left from acne, chicken pox, and other injuries can be plumped, giving the skin a more even, smoother texture.  Scars from surgery can also benefit from needling. The skin color can be evened out so the differences in tone are more subtle.  Works for face and body.
 
STRETCH MARKS & WHITE SCARS
Needling can also activate the production of melanocytes to restore a more even, natural skin tone to white or light scars. This is good for scars that are lighter from injuries, surgeries, and stretch mark.  Works on most skin types.  UV exposure  during healing can improve results.
 
WRINKLES ON FACE & NECK
Fine, medium, or heavy wrinkles respond well to needling.  Natural collagen is produced to fill lines for more smooth skin.  the results are very similar to those from lasers.  Needling mayl not completely erase lines, but clients report being told their skin looks years younger.   
 
SCAR RELAXING:
Scar tissue that is tight or impairs movement can be softened and relaxed to increase flexibility and movement.  Primarily used for burn survivors.
