Microneedling

Also known as collagen induction therapy

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using tiny, sterilised needles to puncture the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, and overall skin texture.

I enhance every microneedling treatment by using Genosys Power Solutions—high-performance serums specifically designed to maximise results. These advanced solutions contain a powerful blend of peptides, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and cytokines to deeply nourish and rejuvenate the skin.

Using these targeted serums increases product absorption by up to 300%, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively and deliver visible, long-lasting results. Combining microneedling with Genosys Power Solutions gives the skin a powerful boost in regeneration, hydration, and overall skin health.

Benefits of Microneedling

Improved Skin Texture and Tone- Microneedling can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars by promoting the production of new collagen and elastin, which improves skin texture and tone.

Reduction of Acne Scars and Other Scars- The procedure can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scarring.

Diminished Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage- Microneedling can help to reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone, making it effective for treating sunspots and age spots.

Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products-The micro-channels created during microneedling allow for better absorption of topical skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

Minimised Pore Size-By stimulating collagen production around the pores, microneedling can help to reduce their size, giving the skin a smoother appearance.

Increased Firmness and Elasticity-As collagen and elastin levels increase, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic, which can help to reduce sagging and give a more youthful appearance.

Minimal Downtime and Quick Recovery- Microneedling typically has minimal downtime compared to other more invasive procedures. Most people experience mild redness and swelling for a day or two.

Natural and Safe- Since microneedling stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes without the use of chemicals or lasers, it is considered a safe procedure for most skin types.

Overall, microneedling is a versatile treatment that offers a wide range of benefits for improving the overall health and appearance of the skin.

Benefits of Using a Microneedling Silhouette Pen Instead of a Roller

Precision and Depth Control:
– Pen: A microneedling pen allows for more precise control of the needle depth, which can be adjusted depending on the area being treated or skin type. This enables more targeted treatment of specific skin concerns.
– Roller: A microneedling roller has a fixed needle length, meaning you cannot adjust the depth for different areas of the face, limiting its effectiveness for some concerns.

Reduced Skin Trauma:
– Pen: The needles move vertically, creating clean micro-channels in the skin. This causes less damage to the surrounding tissue and reduces the risk of tearing or irritation.
– Roller: The rolling action of the device causes the needles to enter and exit the skin at an angle, which can lead to more tearing, irritation, and potential side effects like increased redness or recovery time.

Better Coverage of Complex Areas:
– Pen: Because of its precision and design, a microneedling pen can more easily treat areas like around the nose, eyes, and mouth, which are more challenging for a roller to reach effectively.
– Roller: A roller may not be as effective in treating smaller or more contoured areas due to its design and fixed angle of operation.

Customisation for Different Skin Types:
– Pen: With adjustable needle depth and speed settings, microneedling pens can be customised for different skin types, concerns, or sensitivity levels.
– Roller: Microneedling rollers are more generic and offer less flexibility in customising treatment intensity.

Hygiene:
– Pen: Disposable needle cartridges in pens ensure a fresh and sterile treatment each time, reducing the risk of infection.
– Roller: Rollers are reusable, which can increase the risk of bacteria build-up if not properly sanitised.
