Skin needling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process is designed to stimulate collagen production and support overall skin rejuvenation. Individual responses may vary.

Skin needling creates microchannels in the skin, which may help stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process can encourage collagen and elastin production, contributing to improvements in skin texture and appearance over time.

Skin needling may be considered for a range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Mild skin laxity
  

Suitability is determined during a consultation based on individual skin concerns and medical history.

The number of treatments varies depending on individual goals and skin condition. A series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is commonly recommended for optimal outcomes. Your Registered Nurse will advise a personalised treatment plan.

Downtime is generally minimal. You may experience temporary redness, sensitivity, or mild swelling, which typically settles within a few days. Individual recovery times may vary.

Skin needling is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream may be applied prior to treatment to support comfort. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort during the procedure.

Common, generally temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, sensitivity, or mild flaking. Less common risks may include infection or prolonged irritation. Your practitioner will discuss all potential risks during your consultation.

Post-care instructions may include:

• Avoiding direct sun exposure
• Using gentle skincare products
• Applying recommended soothing or hydrating products
  

Detailed aftercare guidance will be provided by your practitioner.

Some changes may be noticed within a few days, with continued improvement over several weeks as the skin undergoes its natural repair process. Results vary between individuals.

Skin needling may be suitable for many skin types; however, suitability is determined on an individual basis during a consultation.

Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles that play a role in cell communication. In aesthetic treatments, they may be used as a topical adjunct to support skin rejuvenation. Their use is subject to clinical assessment and regulatory considerations.

Exosomes are believed to support communication between skin cells and may assist in the skin’s natural repair processes. When used in conjunction with procedures such as skin needling, they may enhance overall treatment outcomes. Individual responses may vary.
