Skin Needling/ Facial Needling treats light scaring, fine to deep wrinkles. It is derived from ancient acupuncture techniques and mesotherapy. As the needles are rolled over the skin, tiny punctures are created within the epidermis and dermis that encourage the skin’s own natural healing response stimulating the production of collagen and elastin and the release of growth factors.
One of the most exciting advantages of this treatment is that it can safely be performed on both darker and lighter skin types. Plus there is minimal downtime and discomfort and an almost immediate outcome. Treatment only done on the area that needs attention.
What is skin needling with Pen?
E- Pen uses multiple needles that vertically pierce the skin. This enhances rejuvenation results and is far safer for the client because there is much less epidermal damage.
The automatic vibrating function of the Derma Pen increases the effectiveness of treatment by increasing absorption of products, whilst reducing pain & discomfort.
Derma Pen is just as effective as ablative treatments such as Fraxel, IPL, Laser Resurfacing, and Chemical Peels. The most amazing benefit is that Derma Pen's pricing is a fraction of the leading alternatives

How many sessions do I need?
Each skin responds differently and most skins will need multiple treatments at 8-12 week intervals, dependent on the initial condition being treated, and the desired outcome. This time frame allows us to see the maximum new collagen deposition and to assess the success of the treatment.
Please note: A very small number of skins will have a minimal response to needling
What is the recovery time for Needle Dermabrasion and skin needling?
Following the treatment the area treated will be red, swollen, and irritated. The redness lasts three to 5 days for needle dermabrasion and only 24-48 hours for skin needling. After 24 hours you can wear mineral makeup to cover the area.
