Dermal Needling
ABOUT
Using the most advanced MDerma pen technology Dermal Needling is used to restore the health and youthful appearance of your skin with minimal or even zero downtime.
Using the MDerma needling system downtime is significantly shorter than more invasive treatments such as laser or strong peels.
Collagen induction therapy relies on the skins own natural ability to repair itself. When we needle the skin we are causing controlled micro injury to the skin that in turn stimulates healing building new collagen and elastin fibres to produce new younger looking skin.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Skin Needling procedures are perfumed in a safe and accurate manner by a qualified nurse partitioner. The procedure takes 30-40 minutes.
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied 45 minutes before the treatment. This ensures the absolute comfort of the client. Creating dermal damage without removal of the healthy epidermis, as with other resurfacing techniques, means the healing time is rapid and painless.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS
Visible signs of skin rejuvenation will be seen after 2 – 4 weeks and collagen growth will continue for up to a year.
We recommend a course of 4 treatments at 2-3 weeks apart.
POST TREATMENT
After the procedure your skin will be pink and flushed, similar to the appearance of moderate sunburn. You will experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch. Redness and swelling can occur but skin will generally return to its natural appearance within 24-48 hours.
The length of recovery time depends on the micro needle size used for your treatment.
You will be informed of the predicted downtime by the Skin Agents nurse practitioner.
We recommend that a topical Vitamin C Vitamin A and sunscreen are used to improve and protect the skin form the harsh Western Australian environment.
