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.

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.

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.
