Skin needling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which prompts the body's healing response.
A consultation is required to determine whether it may be appropriate for you. Your skin, relevant medical history, the options and alternatives, and the potential risks, expected recovery and limitations are discussed before anything is decided.
Options discussed at consultation
Skin needling alone
Microneedling without an added preparation. Suitability is assessed at consultation.
Platelet Derived Therapy
A small sample of your own blood is taken and the plasma separated and reintroduced into the skin. Published evidence varies by indication and responses differ between individuals.
Skin needling with exosomes
Microneedling paired with a topical exosome preparation. Suitability is assessed at consultation.
Skin needling with a vitamin preparation
Microneedling combined with a preparation of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hyaluronic acid. Suitability is assessed at consultation.
Skin needling carries risks, including redness, swelling, bruising, infection, prolonged healing and changes in pigmentation. Downtime varies between individuals and is discussed with you before treatment.
