What is MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive skin treatment that has become increasingly popular in recent years.
The technique uses a special device fitted with tiny needles to create fine punctures in the skin.
This stimulates the skin's natural regeneration and collagen production, which leads to improved skin texture, fewer wrinkles and healthier-looking skin overall.
What happens during the treatment
During this treatment, tiny controlled micro-injuries are made in the skin by machine using the Dermapen device.
On the one hand, this helps active ingredients penetrate the skin better; on the other, it creates an effective stimulation of the cells, which in turn releases the skin's natural growth factors.
Circulation and regeneration of the skin are stimulated. The skin renews its cells and boosts the formation of collagen and elastic fibres. These are exactly the components of the skin that are responsible for smoothness, firmness and beauty.
Benefits & effects of Microneedling
The effectiveness of the Microneedling method has now been confirmed by many studies. Great improvements are regularly seen with acne scars and other changes in the connective tissue, too.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in which the skin is pricked with tiny, sterile needles. The purpose of Microneedling is to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, which can lead to the production of new collagen and elastin fibres in the skin.
During a Microneedling treatment, a device with tiny needles is guided over the skin, creating small punctures in the surface. These punctures are too small to cause any significant damage, but they are enough to trigger the skin's natural healing response. This response includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, which can help to improve the texture and appearance of the skin.

Skin concerns that can be treated with Microneedling
Microneedling can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars and hyperpigmentation. It can also be used to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. In addition, Microneedling can help to improve the effect of skincare products, as the tiny punctures in the skin allow for better absorption.
Microneedling is generally considered a safe and effective procedure, although slight redness and swelling may occur after the treatment. It is important to choose a reputable provider and to follow all aftercare instructions in order to minimise the risk of complications.
Overall, Microneedling is a popular and effective cosmetic procedure that can help to improve the appearance of the skin without any “downtime”. The effectiveness of the Microneedling method has now been confirmed by many studies. Great improvements are regularly seen with acne scars and other changes in the connective tissue, too. A facial with a wow effect!
Microneedling offers numerous benefits for the skin. Here are some of the most important ones:
Improves the complexion: Microneedling can improve the complexion by promoting the production of collagen and elastin. This can help to improve skin structure and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and scars.
Tackles hyperpigmentation: By stimulating cell renewal and the regrowth of healthy skin cells, the skin tone is evened out.
Reduces acne scars: Microneedling can help in the treatment of acne scars by promoting the production of collagen and elastin and reducing the appearance of scars.
Boosts circulation: Microneedling can improve circulation in the skin by widening the blood vessels. This can help the skin to look healthier and feel better.
Minimises pore size: Microneedling can also help to minimise the size of the pores by balancing cell growth and ensuring that the new cells grow back delicate and fine.
Overall, Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for the skin and can help it to look healthier and more beautiful.
Microneedling is particularly well suited to tackling:
Fine lines
Scars
Uneven skin texture

Aftercare – what to look out for after your Microneedling treatment
After a Microneedling treatment, it is important to follow certain steps in order to achieve the best possible results and minimise potential complications. Here are some general guidelines you should follow:
Avoid sun exposure: Avoid direct sunlight for at least one week after the treatment and always apply a sunscreen with a high SPF.
No make-up: Avoid make-up products for at least 24 hours after the treatment so as not to contaminate the skin, as the skin is particularly receptive after being perforated by the needles.
No exercise: Avoid strenuous physical activity such as sport for 24–48 hours after the treatment to minimise the risk of sweat and skin irritation.
No alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after the treatment to minimise swelling and irritation.
No hot showers: Avoid hot showers and baths for at least 24 hours after the treatment so as not to irritate the skin further.
Use only gentle products: For the first few days after the treatment, use only mild, fragrance-free cleansers and creams so as not to irritate the skin further.
Follow your beautician's instructions: A treatment plan is created for you, tailored to your skin type and needs. By following these steps, you can make sure your skin benefits optimally from the Microneedling treatment and that potential complications are minimised.

The most important questions about Microneedling
Is microneedling suitable for everyone?
In principle yes, but the treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active acne or skin inflammation, wounds or infections in the area to be treated, certain skin conditions, or if you are taking blood-thinning medication.
Is microneedling painful?
There is no need to worry if you are afraid of needles – microneedling is not painful. You may feel a slight prick or tingling, which is easy to tolerate.
When will I see results?
You will notice a fresh glow to your skin straight after the treatment. The long-term effects, including firmer and smoother skin, will be noticeable after a few weeks, once your skin has built up new collagen.
How many microneedling treatments are recommended?
For the best possible result, we recommend a course of 4-6 treatments, each about 4 weeks apart.
How should I care for my skin after microneedling?
Good question! For 24 hours you should avoid any make-up, exercise and sauna. You should also apply sun protection (SPF 50) consistently and use gentle, moisturising skincare products. Harsh peels or acids should not be used in the first few days after the treatment either.
How long does the effect last?
After a course, the result lasts for several months. With regular top-ups at the studio, the effect can be maintained over the long term.
How long does a session take?
A session takes between 45-60 minutes.
Is there any downtime?
For the first 1-3 days after the treatment, your skin may still be red.
