Medical Skin Needling – Sydney and Canberra

Medical Skin Needling helps stimulate Collagen production

Medical skin needling using Dermaroller, is a great way to induce collagen. Stimulating collagen helps improve skin texture and scarring, promoting fresh, youthful looking skin.

What is Medical Skin Needling or Dermaroller?

It involves passing a needle-rolling hand piece over the skin. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where it damages the old collagen and triggers the production of new collagen.

How does it work to induce collagen?

The mechanical damage triggered by the needling creates thousands of miniature skin wounds through which vitamin A and C oils can pass and further assist the collagen induction created by the inflammatory process. The new collagen is formed over 90 days and the results then continue to improve over the next year.

Medical Skin Needling Procedure

Medical needling improves the texture and complexion of the skin. It involves mechanical injury to the collagen, using very fine needles on a rolling wheel. This achieves tighter, smoother skin over the next 3-6 months as the new collagen begins to form.

Medical needling is a safe method of collagen induction and the downtime can vary from mild to moderate.

• A specialised skin care regime will be required to be followed for 5 days post procedure.
• Results can be seen in as little as two weeks, with best results seen at three months.

The procedure usually takes about an hour.

When is Medical needling used?

Medical needling is used for facial rejuvenation to improve the texture, tone/tightness and complexion and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars. It is particularly useful for acne scarring and sun damaged skin.

Where can it be used?

Medical Needling or DermaRoller can be used over any part of the body except for under the eyes.

Medical Skin Needling versus Fractional Lasers

For a rapid improvement in skin texture, we recommend fractional laser treatment. Medical Needling is for people who want less downtime and less risk of complications, particularly for Asian or dark-skinned people. In general, three Dermalroll treatments are equivalent to one fractional laser treatment.
