SKIN NEEDLING TREATMENT

Skin Micro-needling Treatments Are Less Invasive And Deliver Great Results

 

Micro-needling (also known as Skin Needling) is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using a device with a single-use, sterile cartridge and 14 small needles. The microneedles puncture the skin to create controlled micro-injuries, which aren’t visible to the naked eye. These punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing response and regenerate tissue using a process called collagen induction therapy.

This treatment will become your new obsession for your skin – it’s that good.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Device Do You Use?

At About Face Brisbane, we use the SkinPen – the FIRST medical Skin Needling device approved by the TGA and FDA; meaning it is exclusively available at physician-run practices like us. Traditional Micro-needling devices either used oscillating motions or needles with tiny hooks on the ends, in an attempt to create a more aggressive treatment with the ideology of getting better results, faster. These traditional devices had a higher risk of causing adverse effects such as scarring or pigmentation as the punctures in the skin were larger or micro-tears, versus controlled micro-channels.

What Is The Science Behind Micro-needling?

There are three phases to the wound repair process:

Phase 1: Inflammation – Puncturing the skin stimulates your immune system to clean the wounds and to remove debris while increasing blood flow to create new tissue

Phase 2: Proliferation – The wound is repaired with new granulation cells, which are components of the extracellular matrix. New network of blood vessels are also developed.

Phase 3: Remodelling – The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

What Is The Difference Between Micro-Needling And Laser Resurfacing?

Microneedling and laser are very different and can be alternated to address a variety of concerns however, the two technologies aren’t substitutes for each other. Laser penetrates the skin further and can treat skin conditions such as rosacea, sun damage, active acne, warts, milia and more.

A consultation allows us to assess your skin thoroughly and provide a recommendation or treatment plan for your individual case.
