FAQ’S:
1. Is skin needling safe?
Yes, it is, when performed by a trained and qualified skin therapist. We adhere strictly to stringent hygiene protocols, employing sterile equipment and disposable needle cartridges to prevent the risk of infections.
2. Is it painful?
Discomfort during skin needling can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the depth of the treatment. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or a tingling sensation in sensitive skin areas, while others may find it more uncomfortable. Topical numbing cream can be applied at the individual’s request.
3. How many treatments are needed?
It is difficult to predict the exact number of treatments needed as everyone’s goals and skin vary. Typically, most individuals require a series of 3-6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve their desired results.
4. What can I expect after a skin needling treatment?
Following treatment, your skin may appear noticeably red or pink and you may experience a warm sensation like a sunburn. Typically, the redness subsides within 24-48 hours.
5. Can I apply makeup after skin needling?
It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to allow your skin to heal properly. You will be provided with post-treatment instructions to follow at home.
6. Can I continue with my daily skincare routine after skin needling?
It is essential to be gentle with your skin and avoid using harsh or irritating products for a few days post-treatment, this includes avoiding the use of exfoliants or active ingredients as they may cause irritation. However, you can typically continue to cleanse and moisturise if your products are gentle and non-irritating.
7. How long do results last?
Results depend greatly on your skin’s current condition, how well you take care of your skin at home, and how you maintain your skin with ongoing treatments afterwards. However, it’s essential to understand that results can vary, and there are no guarantees.
8. How will I know if I am suitable for skin needling?
If you are unsure if skin needling is suitable for you, we will have a discussion with you prior to treatment to address any concerns. Certain contraindications, such as pregnancy/breastfeeding, active acne, bleeding disorders, diabetes type, herpes, keloid scarring, certain medications and others could prevent you from receiving skin needling.
