The goal of skin needling is to increase the production of collagen. As you age, the amount of collagen within your body decreases, contributing to fine lines, wrinkles, and papery skin. You can increase collagen by following a healthier diet, by taking collagen supplements, or by using a collagen cream. If you still aren’t seeing the results you want, skin needling may be your answer. Here’s how it works: 

• Microneedles repeatedly move across your face and create tiny micro channels across the outer layers of your skin. The tiny injuries cause pin spot bleeding, which kick starts your body into a natural healing response. During the reaction, the body makes more collagen. 
• The additional collagen is deposited into the punctured areas created by the skin needling. Your skin becomes firmer in the process, thereby reducing the number of wrinkles in the treated area. 

There are two methods for skin needling: the dermaroller and the dermapen. The dermaroller is a method that is available for home use. It looks like a drum lined with needles at the end of a handle. The drum rolls over the face creating the punctures. The dermapen, however, has a slim-line shape and uses a disposable tip that houses fine needles. Note the following advantages of the dermapen treatment in the Penrith area over the dermaroller:  

​

• Skin needling can be painful. The dermapen is less traumatic to your skin. Since the needles penetrate the skin vertically, the punctures are cleaner and heal more quickly.
• A dermaroller only helps to infuse product into the skin, whereas a dermapen can visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, enlarged pores, skin sags, trauma scars, pigmentation marks from sun damage or acne, improve skin tone, plump skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
• The dermapen’s slim shape allows it to reach difficult areas. The tip of the dermapen is small enough so that areas around the nose, for example, can be accessed with ease.
• The tips used with the dermapen are disposable, which means no cross contamination between clients.
