What is skin needling?

Skin needling is a procedure that involves puncturing the skin with a medical dermal roller to stimulate collagen re-modelling. Can be used to assist with:

  • Acne Scars
  • Surgical Scars
  • Wrinkles and Fine Lines
  • Skin Tightness
  • Skin Texture

The method used at The Cosmetic Refinement Clinic utilises a cylindrical roller with micro-needles that are rolled over the skin after adequate local anaesthesia to numb the skin.

How does skin needling work?

The needles cause thousands of microscopic injuries to the skin. This induces the skin to begin a process of wound healing that is followed by the production of new collagen. The production of new collagen continues for up to 12 months after the procedure. Depressed acne scars, wrinkles, skin texture and tightness are all improved as a result.

Various medical Dermarollers are offered for different scarred skin conditions depending upon depth of scarring.
