When it comes to facial treatments that rejuvenate and enhance skin health, Micro-needling and Nano-needling are two very popular options. Both treatments involve needling techniques, but they differ significantly in their approach, intensity, and outcomes. LED Light Therapy is a perfect way to finish the session with its additional benefits for the skin.
Micro-needling Facial
What is Micro-needling?
Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a specialised device equipped with fine, sterile needles. These needles create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin (essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness).
What are the main benefits of Micro-needling?
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles – Micro-needling stimulates collagen production, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and giving your skin a smoother, more youthful look.
- Enhanced skin texture – improve the overall texture of your skin by reducing roughness and promoting a softer, more even surface.
- Scar reduction – effectively minimises the appearance of scars, including acne scars, for a clearer and more refined complexion.
- Pore size reduction – Micro-needling can help to reduce the size of enlarged pores, resulting in a smoother and more polished appearance.
- Improved absorption of skincare products – post-treatment, your skin is more receptive to topical treatments, enhancing the efficacy of your skincare routine.
- Evens skin tone and pigmentation – address issues such as hyperpigmentation and sunspots, leading to a more uniform and balanced skin tone.
Nano-needling Facial
What is Nano-needling?
Nano-needling is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that enhances the skin’s texture. We use a device which contains fine, stainless steel pin Nano-needles. These needles create microscopic channels in the skin by infusing active ingredients that allow up to 97% serum absorption. This stimulates the body’s natural regenerative processes without causing damage or pain.
What are the main benefits of Nano-needling?
- Improved skin texture and tone – Nano-needling helps smooth out uneven skin texture and tone, making the skin look more radiant and youthful.
- Enhanced product absorption – the tiny channels created by Nano-needling increase the absorption and efficacy of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin.
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles – regular treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps to firm and plump the skin.
- Minimise pore size – the procedure can help to reduce the size of enlarged pores, giving the skin a smoother and more refined appearance.
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage reduction – Nano-needling can aid in diminishing hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage, leading to a more even skin tone.
- Improvement of acne scars and blemishes – the treatment can help to diminish the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes by promoting skin regeneration and healing.
- Safe for all skin types – Nano-needling is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as it is less invasive than traditional Micro-needling and does not cause significant irritation.
- No downtime – unlike more aggressive treatments, Nano-needling typically requires no downtime, allowing clients to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
- Not painful – the procedure is generally painless and comfortable, as the Nano-needles do not penetrate deeply into the skin.
LED Light Therapy
What is Light Therapy?
LED Light Therapy is a popular non-invasive facial treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to address various skin concerns. It is a great way to further enhance the benefits of your Micro-needling or Nano-needling session.
LED Light Therapy colours:
- Red light – penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and enhance overall skin texture.
- Blue light – targets the surface layer to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
- Yellow light – improves circulation and reduces redness, giving the skin a healthy, radiant glow.
- Purple light – combines red and blue light to help reduce acne and improve skin texture.
- Orange light – combines red and yellow light to help reduce skin conditions like rosacea by decreasing redness and stimulating collagen production.
- Green light – combines blue and yellow light to help with hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots and age spots, and promotes an even skin tone.
