About Medical Needling

Medical Skin Needling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and Micro-Needling. This proceedure stimulates the body's own collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, acne scars, stretch marks and hair growth (alopecia).

A sterile cartridge of varying length needles, arranged in a circle at the end of a device, will create many microscopic channels into the skin. The trauma encourages the body to produce new collagen and elastin which generates new skin cells to repair itself. The skin becomes thicker, plumper and more youthful. Studies show that medical needling with Minoxidil is an effective testament for baldness.

The procedure is well tolerated and in some cases virtually painless; feeling like a mild prickly sensation. A topical anaesthetic will be applied prior to treatment to reduce pain or discomfort.

  • Collagen production
  • Elastin production
  • Fine lines

Post Treatment
