SKIN NEEDLING | DERMAPEN 4
Collagen Induction Therapy (also known as micro-needling or skin needling) triggers a natural healing response in the skin through our medical skin needling device “Dermapen 4” which creates micro injuries in the skin, stimulating its own natural healing process.
This leads to collagen production and remodelling within the skin.
This treatment targets fine lines and wrinkles, helps to minimise pores, diminish acne scarring, and helps reverse sun damage, leaving you with firmer, plumper, and healthier skin.
Instant results that continue to improve for many weeks post treatment as your collagen starts to increase.
STANDARD SKIN NEEDLING
Our standard skin needling treatment is ideal for beginners just starting their skin needling journey.
We use a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid mixed with meso-serums to target your skin concerns.
Although not as concentrated as advanced skin needling options available as add on’s below, our standard treatment is still an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that offers amazing anti-aging benefits by working to restore collagen and elastin through a natural wound healing process and delivering cell optimising ingredients deep into the skin.

F–HA Advanced Hydration & Volume
This is the ultimate treatment to boost hydration, fill deep static wrinkles and improve loss of volume.
Containing natural polysaccharide with incredible properties, even more enhanced by the specific form that we are using: high molecular weight (ability to penetrate deep into the epidermis) for immediate and long-lasting results.
Dehydration and loss of firmness are signs of skin ageing that leads to wrinkle formation and sagging of some face areas.
Using hyaluronic acid helps to maintain moisturised and firm skin.
Hyaluronic acid also helps to avoid trans-epidermal water loss and stimulates the collagen synthesis.
The skin is therefore progressively tightened and moisturised.

Everything you need to know about CIT/SKIN NEEDLING
HOW IT WORKS
Skin Needling penetrates the top layer of skin with micro-needles that create pin-point injuries in the deeper layers. This then triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation, normalises cellular functions, and strengthens the skin.
There are many different devices out there for Skin Needling, we take pride in investing in high quality devices that are proven to deliver results and up-hold safety.
Dermapen 4 is a medical device that performs our skin needling treatments.
The advantages of the Dermapen 4 micro-needling treatment is the electric needle tip that is at such a high speed that it creates 1920 micro channels in the skin per second, resulting in advanced collagen and elastin stimulation.
Post treatment a zinc + peptide mask is applied to cool the skin, followed by vitamin rich repair and TR PRO+
It is essential to take home TR PRO+ to use post treatment.
RESULTS
Results are seen after one treatment; and visible after 6 weeks and continue up to 6 months. Regular treatment will help maintain the results.
FOLLOW UP AND NEXT TREATMENT To achieve the best results, an initial course of 3-6 treatments is recommended before starting maintenance treatments.

Common Q&A
-
Numbing cream is discouraged as it acts as a vasoconstrictor. Vasoconstriction slows down the natural inflammatory response that is beneficial for new collagen fibres. Dermapen 4 is the fastest skin pen available, creating 1920 micro channels per second its technology includes 120 oscillations (wave like vibrations) per second which confuses pain receptors.
-
Downtime varies between individuals, but generally the skin can remain pink and a bit sensitive for 1 – 2 days post treatment. We recommend avoiding intense activities and the use of active ingredients for 5-7 days post skin needling.
-
Please arrive to your appointment with minimal makeup on, avoid any active serums, avoid direct sun exposure, and don’t sit in a hot car waiting until your treatment time.
-
The skin is rejuvenated and will show noticeable improvements after 1 treatment, (think of when a wound heals, new tissue is visible). As collagen production is a lengthy process, full results can be seen up to 12 weeks after a single treatment, and up to 6 months after a series of treatments.

“Honestly could not fault the treatment at all. I’ve already told all my friends to go. It was the first skin treatment where I’ve felt like someone took an actual interest in my skin. My skin needling has never worked better and my face is glowing. Usually the treatment is painful but not this time! Cant wait for more treatments”
