Dermal Needling

Skin Needling, also referred to as Micro-Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a technique that uses very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.

This process helps to activate the skin’s natural repair response and supports new collagen formation, which may assist in improving overall skin texture and tone.

Skin needling is considered a minimally invasive procedure performed at the surface of the skin using medical-grade equipment by trained practitioners. A thorough consultation is recommended to determine individual suitability and expected outcomes.

At the London Skin Clinic, we use the latest skin needling technology, our needling pens have an adaptable needle length from 0.1 up to 2.5mm. Numbing cream is applied prior to treatment and using very small needles there is no pain.

Skin needling helps the absorption of sterilised formulations containing peptides, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, organic silicon, natural extracts, vitamins and amino acids. These growth factors then activate multipotent stem cells already in the skin (tricking them into “thinking” there’s been an injury resulting new, younger skin tissue to be generated)

For the next 2-5 days following treatment

  • Make up should not be worn for 12-24 hours post skin needling
  • Do not use products containing AHA’s, BHA’s, Vitamin A (Retinol), astringents or exfoliating granules
