Skin Correction Treatments Bunbury

SKIN MICRO-NEEDLING TREATMENT:

What is micro-needling?

Skin-Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a special regenerating treatment that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles that safely penetrates deep into the underlying layers of skin, aiding the repair and rejuvenation of troubled areas.

How does Skin needling work?

The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. These responses triggered stimulate our skin’s own natural healing phases which in turn produce brand new collagen and elastin fibres, new blood vessels and new skin cells. Literally transforming our skin from the inside out.

Benefits:

• Reduces Sun-induced pigmentation, melasma, age spots

• Improves Aging, Fine lines and wrinkles

• Strengthens weakened skin

• Reduces Rosacea

• Minimises Scarring

• Reduces Stretch marks

• Age prevention

• Reduces enlarged pore size

• Reduces Congestion and blackheads

How many treatments will I need?

This will depend on your main concern and condition of your skin. Between 3-6 regular treatments to treat most skin concerns. We would also create you a maintenance plan and home care routine to ensure your results are long lasting and maintained.

PREPPING THE SKIN FOR MICRO-NEEDLING

Preparing the skin for micro-needling is just as important as taking care of your skin post needling if not more important. We need to create healthy environment for our body to create new healthy cells during the healing process after needling. This can be achieved by:

CORRECT HOME-CARE USE: The 80/20 Rule

When talking skin correction and health 80% of your results come from correct home-care use. Here at Hussh we provide you with a detail skin plan to your type/condition, budget and timeline on repairing the skin. Building the skins function and barrier is essential to having a great result with skin needling or any dermal treatment.

INCREASING WATER TO TWO LITRES PER DAY:

Water! Yes we all harp on about water consumption and its importance; but heres the stitch.... water is the main component to healthy cells. Healthy cells look like gorgeous plump grapes super juicy and very effective at reproducing.... when we don't consume enough water our cells start to look like little dried up raisins and raisins don't reproduce healthy cells so our skin is going to be reproducing unhealthy/damaged cells making skin needling not effective at renewal.

EFA'S: Essential Fatty Acids

Let’s cut to the chase though, EFAs are

brilliant for your skin

As good as EFAs are for the brain, they are also incredible for our skin — no surprises there!

EFAs actually thin the consistency of the oil that our oil glands produce for us. In turn, this thinning reduces the amount of congestion in our skin, reducing the breakouts we experience, as well as the excess oil we would find on our skin.

As well as that, every single one of our skin cells is coated in a film of essential fatty acid. The cell is kept there until it reaches the surface of the skin and turns into a dead skin cell.

Once this process in the cell cycle occurs, the EFA films around the skin cell push it out, this creates part of our skin barrier.

Yep, our skin barrier is purely made up of EFA, oil and sweat. This means the EFAs we consume play a massive part in having a strong and healthy barrier!

*more information on this will be provided by your skin therapist at your skin consultation

NO MAKEUP

Please come in to your appointment with no makeup on.

AVOIDING COFFEE, ALCOHOL OR OTHER PRODUCTS THAT COULD THIN THE BLOOD FOR 24HRS PRE TREATMENT:

Pretty self explanatory but thinning the blood can cause more pin prick bleeding for the treatment and can also increase discomfort.

PRE-NEEDLING LED SESSIONS:

Our cells have little batteries called mitochondria and these little batteries loose their charge especially as we age. The most effective way to charge your cells is LED. We recommend LED sessions two-three times per week or at least once a week prior to your session to give your cells the best chance at redividing/repairing healthy tissue.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A SKIN NEEDLING TREATMENT

Your skin may feel warm to touch immediately after your procedure and 3-5 days later become a little dry and flaky. This is a completely normal process due to the dead skin cells being stimulated upwards. Once this process is finished, your skin will feel softer and look radiant.

Following your Skin Needling treatment, you can expect some redness and slight swelling around the areas that have been treated. Your skin may feel warm to touch, like a mild sunburn sensation. This should last no longer than a day or two.

Three to five days after your Skin Needling procedure you may notice that your skin becomes a little dry and flaky. This is a completely normal process due to the dead skin cells being stimulated upwards. Avoid picking the skin and apply moisturiser 2-3 times per day. Once this process is finished your skin will feel softer and look radiant, as though you have had a great exfoliation.

Skin Needling stimulates your body to produce natural collagen and elastin, which continues for up to 12 weeks after your treatment. Individual results vary, with some patients noticing a discernible difference within a few weeks and others needing several treatments. However, your results will continue to improve months after your initial treatment and will last until your skin goes through its natural ageing process.

AVOID SUN EXPOSURE

Your skin will be much more sensitive to the sun for several weeks after your Skin Needling treatment. To prevent adverse effects, you must stay out of the sun at all times.

We do not advise the use of sunscreen immediately after the procedure as the skin channels are completely open and will absorb anything that is applied. However, you can apply a mineral sunscreen once the skin has healed over, approximately 24 hours after your Skin Needling treatment.

SKIN NEEDLING AFTERCARE PRODUCTS

We recommend the following skin needling aftercare products that have proven results. These products are specifically created to enhance results and reduce the irritation, discolouration and sensitivity you may feel after the procedure.

DON’T USE SKIN PRODUCTS CONTAINING ‘ACTIVE INGREDIENTS’

The Skin Needling procedure will leave your skin in a highly sensitive state, so we recommend that you avoid all skin care products that contain any kind of ‘active ingredients’ such as retinol, alpha hydroxyl acids and Vitamin C.

You can incorporate these products back into your regime 3-5 days after your treatment, or as recommended by your experienced therapist.

AVOID USING MAKEUP AFTER THE TREATMENT

Don’t apply any kind of makeup for at least 24 hours to 48 hours after the procedure as it’s important to allow your skin barrier to heal over.

Using make up brushes can irritate the open skin, and if there’s any bacteria on the brushes you run the risk of developing a skin infection.

AVOID ACTIVITIES OR SITUATIONS THAT MAKE YOU SWEAT

A Skin Needling procedure will cause heat in the skin as a natural stage of healing. If you sweat or partake in any activities that make you hot, it will create further unwanted heat in the skin. It may also allow bacteria to penetrate the skin. This can lead to infection, extended redness or an adverse skin reaction.

DON’T TAKE ANY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY MEDICATIONS

Prior to and immediately after Skin Needling procedures you should avoid the use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as Ibuprofen, as they will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is needed for optimum skin rejuvenation.

USE A GENTLE CLEANSER

In place of active products a very mild cleanser and barrier cream is recommended to keep your skin clean and soothe any resultant dry skin and flakiness. We can advise on the best kinds of cleansers, moisturisers and healing products to use to avoid irritation.

DO USE COLLAGEN STIMULATING PEPTIDES

Collagen stimulating peptides will help your skin to prepare and recover from the procedure and are an important part of Skin Needling aftercare.

These peptides work by aiding in the stimulation of collagen production and intensify the effects of the skin needling treatment.

APPLY A COOLING FACE MASK

You may experience some skin irritation following skin needling, therefore we recommend the use of a cooling face mask to reduce inflammation and redness, and to make your skin feel more comfortable.

DON’T FORGET TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

At Hussh Body and Soul we always recommend that you drink plenty of water both before and after the procedure. Keeping well hydrated will assist in faster healing and skin rejuvenation.

DON’T FORGET BROAD SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN

While it’s important to give the sunscreen a miss for the first few days following the procedure, we do advise that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen once your skin has healed, to prevent unwanted pigmentation and sun damage.

This treatment should give improvement and restoration to the appearance of the skin. However, each individual’s result will vary depending on his or her skin type and condition. While many will be satisfied with just fewer treatments, other clients may require several treatments over a period of time to achieve their desired results. Please inform your therapist of any problems (e.g. allergies, sensitivities, or medications) and follow any instructions you are given. As with any treatment, there is always a very small possibility that you could have a negative reaction that the therapist could not predict. Please ensure you have completed the pre-treatment medical history form and have informed your therapist of any pre-existing skin or medical conditions, treatments or medicines. Although Hussh Body and Soul endeavours to ensure that all clients receive the best possible care and results, at no time does it make any guarantees or undertakings that any treatment or product will cure, alleviate, prevent, eliminate, or retard any injury, illness or condition.
