Skin Needling
What is skin needling?
Skin Needling is a non-invasive clinical treatment that uses microscopic needles to penetrate the skin within the epidermis and dermis. These channels cause keratinocytes, fibroblasts and melanocytes that produce numerous growth factors to improve and normalise various skin functions.
Skin Needling is also known as (CIT) Collagen Induction Therapy, which allows the body to regrow and repair the skin from the micro damage through the wound healing response. This helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
Skin needling can improve the appearance of:
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Scars
• Stretch marks
• Pigmentation (Vitiligo, Melasma, Hyper & Hypo)
• Enlarged pores
• Rosacea
• Acne (scarring and breakouts)
