MicroNeedling
Collagen Induction Therapy – Discover Rejuvenating Benefits for Your Skin
Are you in search of a minimally invasive and highly effective treatment to enhance your skin’s appearance? Look no further than skin needling. This revolutionary technique utilizes fine micro needles to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your skin, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin that is free of fine lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections.
Skin Needling
At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, our skin needling facial is tailored to your specific skin concerns, whether it be acne scarring, hyper pigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores, or aged facial skin. We use sterile single-use needle cartridges, ensuring your safety and hygiene throughout the procedure.
Our skin needling treatment can be safely repeated every four weeks, with a minimum of three treatments recommended for optimal collagen induction. The minimum separation time between treatments should be four to six weeks.
Our skilled aestheticians use a fine micro needle to make tiny punctures in your skin, stimulating its healing response and spurring collagen production. The micro needles create micro channels into your skin, which allows for deeper penetration of the serums used in our skin needling facial. It has been found that these serums can be up to 90% more effective when used in conjunction with the micro needling technique.
What to expect
After the treatment, you may experience minor redness and inflammation for up to 48 hours, but this is a normal part of the skin’s healing process. Over the next few weeks, you will begin to see visible improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance, reducing acne scarring, fine lines, pigmentation, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves puncturing the skin with fine needles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
Skin needling can effectively treat a range of skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation.
Skin needling is generally well-tolerated and only causes minimal discomfort. Our trained professionals use a topical numbing cream before the treatment to ensure a pain-free experience.
Results can vary based on individual skin types and concerns, but typically, clients see a difference after their first session. For the best results, we usually recommend three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart.
The treatment may cause some redness and mild swelling, which typically fades within 24 to 48 hours. Clients can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
Skin needling is suitable for most skin types, but we recommend a consultation with one of our trained professionals to determine if it is the right treatment for you.
Skin needling works by promoting the natural healing process of the skin. The micro-injuries from the needles trigger the body’s collagen production, which results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Skin needling is a safe and non-invasive treatment when performed by a trained professional. At our clinic, we only use medical-grade equipment and adhere to strict hygiene and safety protocols.
The length of a skin needling treatment varies depending on the area being treated and the client’s specific skin concerns. Typically, a full-face treatment takes around 45 – 60 minutes.
The cost of skin needling varies depending on the area being treated and the number of sessions required. We offer customised treatment plans and pricing to best meet our clients’ needs.
Treatment Care
Skin needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This procedure can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and other skin issues. If you are scheduled for a skin needling treatment at Naomi Waite Aesthetics, here are some pre-care tips to help you prepare for your session:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: It is important to avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours before your treatment. Sun exposure can damage your skin and increase the risk of complications during and after the procedure.
- Avoid Retinol: Avoid using retinol products at least one week before your appointment. Retinol can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation and inflammation during the procedure.
- Avoid Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol can dehydrate your skin, making it more difficult for the needles to penetrate the skin.
- Stop Using Blood-Thinning Medications: If you are taking any blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, please stop taking them at least one week before your treatment. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising during the procedure.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydration is essential for healthy skin and can help to minimize swelling and inflammation after the procedure.
- Avoid Active Skincare Products: Avoid using active skincare products, such as acids or enzymes, at least one week before your appointment. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation and inflammation during the procedure.
- Inform Your Aesthetician of Any Skin Conditions: If you have any skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, please inform your aesthetician before your appointment. They may recommend additional pre-care steps to ensure your skin is healthy and prepared for the procedure.
By following these pre-care tips, you can help ensure a safe and successful skin needling treatment at Naomi Waite Aesthetics. Remember to always consult with your aesthetician if you have any questions or concerns about your pre-care routine.
Skin needling is a delicate procedure that involves creating microscopic holes in the skin, through which the body can produce more collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in a rejuvenated and radiant complexion. Proper aftercare is critical to ensure the skin heals correctly and achieves the desired results. Below are some comprehensive after care advice for clients having Skin Needling at Naomi Waite Aesthetics:
- Avoid Exposure to Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight must be avoided for at least 48 hours after treatment. If you must go outside, wear a hat or use an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen to protect the treated area from harmful UV rays.
- Use Skin-Healing Products: To promote skin healing and prevent infection, use recommended skin-healing products, such as serums, moisturizers, and balms. Avoid using any other skincare products that contain harsh ingredients, such as retinoids or acids, as they may interfere with the healing process.
- Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Touching the treated area with your fingers may introduce bacteria and cause an infection. It is crucial to avoid touching the skin, especially with unwashed hands, for at least 24 hours after treatment.
- Avoid Hot Water and Steam: Avoid taking hot baths, showers, or using a sauna for at least 48 hours after treatment. Steam and hot water can cause skin irritation and delay the healing process.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and after treatment to help the skin heal and recover. Staying hydrated also helps to reduce inflammation and keep the skin moisturized.
- Avoid Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment, as it may clog the pores and cause an infection. Wait until the skin has healed entirely before using any makeup products.
- Do Not Scratch or Pick at the Skin: Scratching or picking at the treated area can cause scarring and interrupt the healing process. It is essential to avoid touching the skin and let it heal naturally.
- Avoid Exercise and Sweating: Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after treatment. Sweating can cause bacteria to grow on the skin, leading to infections and skin irritation.
- Schedule Follow-Up Appointments: It is essential to schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of the skin and ensure the desired results are achieved. Your aesthetician will advise you on the appropriate time to schedule your next appointment based on your skin's condition.
Proper aftercare is critical to achieving the desired results after skin needling. Following the aftercare advice provided by your aesthetician is essential for optimal skin healing and rejuvenation.
