How does it work? The concept behind needling is the stimulation of new collagen production in your skin. The needle breaks the skin and causes micro-trauma and micro-inflammation. Your body responds by sending blood to the area for healing. As your skin repairs itself, new collagen builds up just below the surface. The wrinkles, lines, or depressed scars plump from the bottom-up without the use of anything artificial. Repeated needling sessions gradually and continually build new collagen to fill-in the treated areas. The gentle stimulus provided by Micro Needling is far more “skin friendly” and thus far more effective than many other more invasive and more expensive skin treatments. Micro-channels seal within hours after application: long enough for new collagen-structures to form within the lower layers of the skin and short enough to allow you to resume normal schedules quickly. This appears to be the end of the story. But it isn’t. Underneath the skin’s surface, much more is going on. In fact, the healing response which begins immediately upon the injury kick-starts a healing process that last for several months, and up to a year. This natural healing process is where all the magic happens. Deeper needle penetrations into the dermis produces better collagen and elastin production. The breaking of blood vessels is also key to starting the 12-month healing and reorganising phase. If the needle only pokes the topmost skin layer and does not reach the dermis, there may be some improvements but no dramatic results. For optimum results in depressed acne scarring, surgical scars, severe pigmentation, stretch marks, and cellulite, it is recommended to have the deeper treatments done at a clinic with a trained professional.
