Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure. It uses no microtoxins. Instead, it stimulates the body’s healing process and the production of collagen and elastin in treated skin.

Microneedling , sometimes referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a versatile treatment which may help with issues like:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne
• Hair loss & alopecia
• Hyperpigmentation – dark spots and patches on your skin
• Large pores
• Inelastic skin and scars
• Stretch marks
• Sun damage

Microneedling works by pricking the skin with minute needles. Each pinprick is not large enough to see but each stimulates a healing response in treated areas, resulting in firmer, fresher skin – genuine rejuvenation. At Casafia the treatment is supplement the treatment with a hyaluronic acid serum to bring natural moisturisation deep within the skin matrix.

Treatment Locations

Microneedling is most often used on the face where it can target sun spots, acne and uneven skin tone but it can also be on the hands, stomach and elsewhere on the body.

How Long Does it Take?

Each treatment session takes an hour. Before your first treatment we conduct an initial consultation. Most people need 4-6 treatments to gain the full benefits.

Does it Hurt?

Some clients may experience a little discomfort; we provide soothing, numbing cream. There may be a small amount of bleeding or bruising.

Suggested Aftercare

Microneedling isn’t invasive, so the recovery time is minimal. Most people require very little downtime, if any at all. If you’re comfortable you can get straight back on with your normal life. Your skin may be a little red and sore for a day or two after the treatment – we can provide you with cream to soothe your skin during this period.

After treatment your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight as it heals – avoid direct sun and wear sunscreen.
 

How Long Does the Treatment Last?

Because this treatment employs the body’ natural healing response it can take a week or so to see the full benefit. Over the course of several treatments the results can be revelatory. The effects last anywhere from three to five months. We recommend top-up treatments twice a year.
