How does Skin Needling work?

The Dermapen 4, (latest in technology), delivers microscopic needles into your skin at an extremely fast pace. (Don’t worry, the needling part only takes 8-10 minutes and is only a slight discomfort to most). This triggers the skin to repair through its own healing process. 

​

What does Skin Needling treat?

Fine lines, wrinkles, acne, scarring, pigmentation and stretch marks. In a nutshell, Skin Needling basically repairs, restores and reconditions the skin so all cells function as they should. (Sebaceous glands slow down and sebum production is reduced treating acne. Collagen and elastin gets boosted plumping fine lines, wrinkles and scars. Melanocytes are targeted to rectify excessive skin pigment). It is also one of the only anti-ageing treatments that is safe and successful to treat around your delicate eye area!

How important is my skincare at home?

Home care is important while Skin Needling and a 30spf or higher sunscreen must be worn everyday. Think of needling as a marathon for your skin. If your skin is not healthy before your first treatment you may not get the results you were hoping for.

At DayDream Beauty we stock Dermaceuticals, which is a range that was made to be infused into your skin. These products are also used when performing the skin needling treatment. The DP products are made with hyla-fuse technology which is a triple molecular weight system that hydrates all 3 levels of your skin. These products are always recommended to use during your skin needling treatments.

Is there any downtime?

This is a very common question but you will be pleasantly surprised to read that there is none! Of course your skin may be a little red after the treatment but with the use of SPF Cover Recover, (tinted sunscreen), you are able to go back to work/play straight after.

Some may experience slight dryness or flaking of the skin as the healing process takes place and a relaxing facial with microdermabrasion is recommended 10 days after your skin needling to help with this.

How many treatments will I need and how often?

Improvements in the skin can be seen after just one skin needling treatment but a minimum of 3 is required for more significant results. 

However I do always recommend my package of 6 for the best possible results. This gives you your 6th treatment free, saving you $300.

Depending on what skin concern we are treating, skin needling can be done every 4-8 weeks. I will go through a skin plan with you on your first visit to the studio.

It's important to know that I will be here to guide you through this every step of the way. You can message me anytime with questions or concerns. I look forward to helping you through your skin journey and together achieving amazing results.
