The benefits of Skin Needling

Skin Needling also known as Dermal Rolling, has been the talk of the town over the last few years and continues to gain popularity. Skin care and beauty enthusiasts alike swear by it. But… what does Skin Needling do and what can it treat?

Skin Needling is a professional skin treatment that is available at 110+ Laser Clinic New Zealand locations and is performed by our team of highly trained skin therapists. The treatment uses microneedles on a medical grade roller or pen and your skin therapist will move this roller or pen over the skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced punctures on the skin. These micro-punctures go through the skin with minimal damage to the upper epidermal layer but creates a microscopic, generally painless injury to the deeper dermal layer. The minor injury and bleeding triggers a “wound-healing” response in the skin. This results in increased collagen and elastin production.

What can Skin Needling treat?

Skin Needling is the one-stop anti-ageing skin treatment! It stimulates the production of your collagen to create smoother, healthier skin. Skin Needling benefits include reducing the appearance of:

  • Acne scarring
  • Fine lines
  • Pigmentation
  • Enlarged pores
  • Scarring
  • Stretch marks

The results are improved skin texture, more even skin tone and an all-around healthy glow.

How often should I get Skin Needling treatments?

This depends on your individual treatment plan and your treatment goals. On average, we recommend 3-6 treatments with each treatment spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Note, each person will vary slightly and our skin therapist will advise on the recommended number of treatments at your complimentary consultation.

Skin Needling does require some preparation. Find out more about Skin Needling preparation here.
