Micro Needling

What is Micro Needling?

Micro Needling is a relatively new method of treating wrinkles, cellulite, stretch marks and stretch marks.

What happens during a Micro Needling treatment?

 Micro Needling involves rolling a roller (derma roller) fitted with tiny needles over the skin according to a specific pattern. Before treatment with the derma roller, the skin is pre-treated with a special anaesthetic cream. Then an ointment with special active ingredients is applied, which is transported into deeper skin layers by the treatment with the Derma-Roller.

Since a certain amount of pressure is applied with the derma roller, microscopic injuries are created which initiate a wound healing process. In the course of this process, the blood circulation is stimulated and collagen is formed. This results in a tightening and firming of the skin. After the treatment, a special cream is applied to soothe the skin.

Are there any side effects with Micro Needling?

Each treatment takes about 30-45 minutes and should be repeated 3-5 times to achieve the best results. After the treatment the skin may be slightly reddened or swollen. Small bruises may also appear. These symptoms should disappear after 3-4 days.
