Micro-needling works by creating controlled micro- channels in the skin. These tiny channels stimulate the skin's natural healing processes, triggering the production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen is a key protein that provides structural support to the skin, while elastin enhances skin elasticity. As the skin heals from these micro-channels the skin undergoes a rejuvenation process, resulting in improved texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and enhanced overall skin firmness.
The combination of increased collagen production and improved product absorption contributes to the overall effectiveness of micro-needling in achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Choosing your size:
0.3mm used for product absorption and beginners. Provides less benefits than a 0.5mm.
0.5mm used for collagen production, product absorption, treating fine lines, pigmentation and scaring.
Start with a Clean Face:
Begin with a thoroughly cleansed face. Remove any makeup, dirt, or impurities to ensure a clean surface for the micro-needling process.
Choose the Right Needle Length:
Select the appropriate needle length based on your specific skincare concerns and the device's guidelines. Shorter needles are generally recommended for beginners.
Follow a Gentle Technique:
Hold the micro-needling device at a slight angle and use a gentle, rolling motion. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as this can lead to discomfort and potential skin damage. Test a small area of the skin to begin with to ensure no adverse reactions.
Work in Sections:
Divide your face into sections and treat one area at a time to ensure thorough and even coverage.
Adjust Frequency:
EffortlesSkinTherapy at-home micro-needling sessions are done mostly once to three times per week, allowing the skin to heal between treatments.
Apply Serums or Moisturisers:
After the micro-needling session, apply a soothing serum or moisturiser containing products such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to support skin recovery. Avoid harsh or irritating products immediately after the procedure such as retinol serums.
Micro-needling can be suitable for a variety of skin types,
but it's important to consider individual characteristics and conditions before undergoing the procedure. Generally, micro-needling is considered safe and effective for the following skin types:
Normal Skin:
Individuals with normal skin can often tolerate micro-needling well. The procedure can help improve overall skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance collagen production.
Dry Skin:
Micro-needling can be beneficial for individuals with dry skin, as it may aid in better absorption of moisturising products and help address issues related to dehydration.
Oily Skin:
Micro-needling can be effective for individuals with oily skin, helping to improve the appearance of enlarged pores and reduce excess oil production.
Combination Skin:
Those with combination skin, where different areas of the
face have varying characteristics (e.g., oily T-zone and dry cheeks), can benefit from micro-needling to address specific concerns in different regions.
Aging Skin:
Micro-needling is often used as an anti-aging treatment to target fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity. It stimulates collagen production, which can improve the overall appearance of aging skin.
Acne-Prone Skin:
Micro-needling can be helpful for individuals with acne-prone skin, as it may assist in improving the appearance of acne scars. However, caution should be taken to avoid active acne lesions.
Uneven Skin Tone:
Micro-needling can contribute to a more even skin tone by
addressing issues such as hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
While micro-needling can benefit various skin types, there are certain conditions and situations where caution or avoidance may be recommended:
Sensitive Skin:
Individuals with highly sensitive skin may need to exercise
caution, as micro-needling could potentially cause irritation or redness. A
patch test is advisable.
Active Skin Infections:
Micro-needling should be avoided on areas with active
infections, such as cold sores or active acne lesions.
Recent Sunburn or Tanning:
Individuals with recent sunburn or those who have recently
tanned should wait until the skin has fully healed before undergoing micro-needling.
Botox and Fillers:
We advise waiting 2 weeks after botox and fillers allowing everything to settle.
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding:
Due to the hormonal changes in the body there is a slight risk of hyperpigmentation. Keep your skin hydrated.
Things to avoid after micro-needling:
Hot baths, saunas, strong sunlight and self-tanning products for 48 hours after usage.
Clean Before and After Each Use:
Thoroughly clean the micro-needling device before and after each use. Using a anti bacterial solution or gentle sanitising spray from your local chemist will suffice. Look for products containing Hypochlorous acid.
Remove Excess Product:
After each use, remove any residual skincare products or blood from the needles. This can be done with a mild soap and water or the provided cleaning solution.
Inspect for Damage:
Before each use, inspect the micro-needling device for any signs of damage, such as bent needles or malfunctioning parts. Do not use a damaged device.
Store Properly:
Store the micro-needling device in a clean and dry environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Replace Needles as Recommended:
Consider replacing device every 3 - 4 months depending on usage.
Avoid Sharing Devices:
Micro-needling devices are personal items, and sharing them can pose hygiene risks. Avoid sharing your device with others.
