Micro-needling or micro-rolling or skin needling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy with the intends to smooth wrinkles, improve depressed acne scares as well as reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
The process for micro-needling is carried out with a roller made up of many miniature needles. The needles pierce the upper layers of skin up to 2 millimetres (depending on the needle used). This process has two major benefits. It successfully stimulates collagen formation as well as providing a clear topical channel for creams and gels to be effectively absorbed through the top most layer (epidermis) of skin. Micro-Needling creates a very minor trauma which lasts for one day to three days. Skin will be slight reddish after the treatment.
The small puncture wound stimulates collagen production in the dermis layer. Although this sounds acary and drastic, the process happens on a microscopic level and the outward appearance of trauma is negligible. Clinical use of skin needling involves the use of numbing agents (topical application of anesthetic cream) on the skin, so that the treatment can be carried vigorously with minimal discomfort. Nevertheless, we recommend this treatment to be done in a clinic for optimum results and for hygiene and safety purposes.
