Skin Needling is also referred to as percutaneous collagen induction therapy. It uses advanced skin technology to induce collagen and elastin production at the skin’s lower levels, whilst also reinvigorating the appearance of the surface levels.
Dermapen skin needling, is an effective anti-ageing and regenerative skin treatment designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve skin tone and texture. It is extremely effective at supporting skin regeneration, and is often used to improve the appearance of acne scarring, stretch marks and surgical scars.
​
The Dermapen uses very fine, medical grade needles which are passed across the skin creating micro channels. This controlled ‘injury’ stimulated the body’s natural healing process within the skin, resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin, the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue and visible improvement to skin texture and tone.
​
The formation of micro-channel’s also results in improved absorption and penetration of active cosmeceutical products immediately post procedure and in the weeks following.
