WHAT IS NEEDLING / INTRADERMABRASION?
Needling,
also called needle abrasion, percutaneous collagen induction or
intradermabrasion, is a sophisticated technique which promotes the body's natural production of collagen
and melacantis (pigment producing cells). This process smooths out scars, wrinkles and can even the tones of some skin
discolorations. This non-envasive intradermabrasion procedure is long lasting and all natual rejuvenation for the
skin similar to laser resurfacing.
HOW DOES NEEDLING / INTRADERMABRASION WORK?
Skin
needling is accomplished through microscopic punctures made to the epidermis. This stimulates the body’s natural
wound healing by breaking up old collagen strands in scars and wrinkles to produce natural collagen and melanocytes,
making smoother skin. Needling simulates the effects of those from laser resurfacing, but
without the harsh damage to the epidermis.
HOW LONG DOES INTRADERMABRASION LAST?
Some
clients see immediate results from skin needling, others notice improvement gradually over an 8 week period, up to 3 months.
Individual results vary as each body’s regeneration is unique. Use of other skin treatments in cluding vitamins
A and C, can help prevent loss of collagen, and scars remain replumped. Most clients require multiple sessions
to achieve desired results that generally can last years.
IS SKIN NEEDLING SAFE?
Needling is safe with stringent cross-contamination standards, and
because nothing is injected, allergic reactions and side-effects are non-existent. Needling, or intradermabrasion, is a minimally
invasive procedure. With rapid healing, low downtime and simple aftercare, needling is an attractive solution
for scars and wrinkles for most people.
WHY USE NOT JUST USE A NEEDLING ROLLER?
Needling
can be done with a roller with satisfactory results, although it is more difficult to self treat with this method. However,
it is a more general treatment, using a machine is better for focused targeting specific acne scars and lines is more
precise.

SCARS FROM ACNE & INJURIES
The
pitted scars left from acne, chicken pox, and other injuries can be plumped with skin needling to give the skin a more
even, smoother texture. Scars from surgeries, including tummy tucks, can also benefit from needling. The skin color
can be evened out so the differences in tone are more subtle. Works for face and body.
STRETCH MARKS & WHITE SCARS
Needling
can also activate the production of melanocytes to restore a more even, natural skin tone to white or light scars. This
is good for scars that are lighter from injuries, surgeries, and stretch marks. Works on most skin types.
UV exposure during healing can improve results.
WRINKLES ON FACE & NECK
Fine,
medium, or heavy wrinkles all respond well to needling/intradermabrasion.
Natural collagen is produced to fill lines for more smooth skin. The results are very similar to those from lasers,
but is more gentle to the skin. Needling may not completely erase lines, but clients report being told their skin looks
years younger.
SCAR RELAXING:
Scar tissue that
is tight or impairs movement can be softened and relaxed to increase flexibility and movement. This use of intradermabrasion is primarily for burn survivors.
