MicroNeedling (or Skin or Dermal Needling) is an easy non-invasive treatment designed to build collagen and elastin, diminish lines, wrinkles and scars (including acne scarring), refine and reduce pore size all without undergoing painful surgical procedures. It’s relatively painless and produces great results. As with any treatment a course of MicroNeedling treatments will lead to faster improvement in skin quality

+What is MicroNeedling for?
It is fine to apply creams and serums which help upper layers of skin but where targeted actives
need to reach are the deeper layers, and for some products, like collagen,
the molecular size is too large to enter through the top skin layers
This is where MicroNeedling excels as it creates fine micro-channels in the skin to allow
transfer of targeted ingredients to the deeper layers where they can be used most effectively
+So what is MicroNeedling?
A MicroNeedling device is a pen shaped mechanical device with a disposable tip. It is filled with very fine needles, that when placed over the skin, creates fine ‘micro-channels’ in the skin to allow deeper penetration of ingredients. Usually MicroNeedling is used with water based serums
Benefits of MicroNeedling:
Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Reduced depth/height of surgical scars (12 months post surgery)
Reduced appearance of enlarged pores
Improved condition of sun damaged skin
Tighter, firmer more refined skin tone
Improvement in superficial acne scarring (not pit scarring)
Advantages of MicroNeedling
Minimal downtime (7-10 days max)
No permanent damage or injury
No bruising, infection, discolouration
Extremely high absorption rate of ingredients
Many skin types can be treated
Thickens the dermis without damage
+What is NanoNeedling?
NanoNeedling is a similar type of needling treatment that is completely painless but just as effective at allowing penetration of actives into the skin.
NanoNeedling isn’t needles at all, but are super fine silicone tubes that are painless when they are moved
over the skin
Both nano and needle cartridge tips cause a controlled wound to stimulate
collagen and elastin growth in superficial &/or deeper layers of skin depending on needle depth.
+What parts of my face can be treated?
MicroNeedling pen devices can be used multi-directionally so any area of the face, neck or décolletage can be treated. Skin is regenerated and becomes firmer, scars gradually reduce in depth, wrinkles smooth out as each treatment stimulates an increased production of collagen and elastin.
+Is my skin type ok for MicroNeedling?
Skin types most suited to MicroNeedling are Fitzpatrick types 1-3, or those that are not prone
to hyper-pigmentation (increased pigmentation evident after a wound/injury) and keloid scarring
(raised lumpy scars)
Fitzpatrick types above 3 that tan easily and are darker pigmented may
be prone to keloid scarring / increased pigmentation and be unsuitable for MicroNeedling.
However a detailed consult is the best way to determine suitability
+Do I need to commit to using salon skin?
The regular use of quality salon skin care is essential for several months before and after
MicroNeedling to avoid complications and produce the best results from the treatment. If
you are unwilling to commit to a salon skin care regime this treatment is not for you.
It might sound pedantic however if you’re seeking to get results from this treatment it must
include the skin care products used on a daily basis not just once a month
Home care support is precisely what it is and it underpins this treatment in every way. Without a daily
regime of caring for skin one can’t expect to get the most out of MicroNeedling, or indeed
any treatment
+How much downtime do I need?
Allowing for healing time of approximately a week is normal, as is caring for your skin at
home with quality salon skincare which supports the healing and recovery process to strengthen
your skin. You may experience some peeling during this time and some initial swelling and redness
which will pass after a few days
If you have had Nano Needling you won’t experience much downtime as the silicone tube ‘needles’
have caused very fine micro-channels that infuse ingredients
into your skin without causing much redness and irritation
+Do I need anaesthetic cream?
No, you won’t need to use anaesthetic cream as we don’t needle to the depths that require using it.
We use depths up to 1.00mm depth and achieve good results.
Latest research in the field suggests it is no longer necessary to produce blood to get great results
from MicroNeedling, in fact it achieves better results without producing a deeper wound.
However deep ice pick acne scarring can require deeper needling and as such you would need to
consult a qualified medical practitioner
+Can I do MicroNeedling at home?
Yes, you can do MicroNeedling at home with the right size roller and instructions on how
to keep it clean and how to roll which you will be equipped with in salon. We have everything
you need to do your own needling at home and get continuing results
The home rollers are a lower depth than what is used professionally in salon however it will continue to
underpin salon MicroNeedling.
+Is MicroNeedling safe?
Yes MicroNeedling is safe. However care must be taken to only apply certain high quality skincare to avoid causing skin issues.
Many people use MicroNeedling devices at home and apply all manner of vitamins and skincare only to end up in a world of pain
with many skin conditions appearing later on down the track (perhaps not having linked the skincare to their micro-needling usage).
MicroNeedling opens micro-channels in the skin which can allow good (and bad) pathogens and bacteria to be
transmitted across the normally resistant barrier (your skin).
These micro-channels
allows substances to travel straight through to deeper layers of the skin thereby starting a chain reaction of skin conditions.
For this reason, MicroNeedling requires stringent infection control procedures to avoid infection and is best
performed in salon by our trained professionals.
+Can I apply my products after MicroNeedling?
No. Only specific products can be applied to the skin after MicroNeedling to avoid allergic reactions
Many off the shelf products in supermarkets and chemists contain many ingredients not designed
to bypass the natural skin barrier. Products like dyes, colouring, parabens, low molecular weight
Hyaluronic Acid (causes an inflammatory response and creates oxidative stress = more
ageing for your skin which is the opposite effect you want!)
At Divine Beauty Skin & Body we source the purest actives to ensure your treatment is an ongoing success.
You will need to follow the prescription set out for you by your therapist to get the results you seek
