Q: What does the treatment involve?

SR: Skin Needling is performed using the world renowned trademarked Dermapen.

The 30-60-minute treatment involves a series of micro needles penetrating the skin to create tiny puncture channels that encourage an organic collagen renewal and regeneration response. 

Skin Needling benefits also include stimulation of organic collagen renewal that is perfect for people that cannot undertake laser therapy treatments for skin conditions such as acne scarring. 

Q: How do clients prepare for Skin Needling?

SR: You will be asked to discontinue use of Retin A, Retinols, Vitamin A creams and other topic medications for 3-5 days before your micro needling treatment. It is required that you wear a sunscreen daily and use the appropriate home care topical products. As recommended for you by your skin therapist. Your therapist will create a tailored preparation plan based on your skin type, and the skin treatments your skin needling is targeting. For example if you are treating pigmentation and we are targeting that area, we would recommend you use a product that contains a tyrosinase inhibitor, Tyrosinase is the enzyme responsible for the first step in melanin production. It is part of a conversion process that creates the pigment (melanin) to be transported to the top layer of your skin resulting in a darkening of the skin. It is a defence mechanism against damage (imflammation, picking and UV rays to name a couple)

Adhering to your preparation plan is key to achieving optimum results from your Skin Needling treatment.

For Skin that Deserves the Best it is recommended that you invest in the non-negotiable homecare products. The Dp DermaceuticalsTM– skincare is designed to deliver optimal results before, during and post skin needling. Our products support and strengthen skin to help reduce the appearance of redness and inflammation throughout skin rejuvenation procedures. This means glowing, younger looking skin and less downtime directly following treatment and ongoing personal prescription homecare.
