UNLOCKING THE BEAUTY OF SKIN NEEDLING
SO, FIRST THINGS FIRST, WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING?
Also known as micro-needling or collagen induction therapy, skin needling is an incredible resurfacing skincare treatment that works to combat an array of skin concerns with minimal invasiveness.
Using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, this safe and effective treatment prompts and accelerates the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to help smooth out uneven skin texture, increase firmness, and improve your overall skin complexion.
With best results achieved following the completion of at least 3-4 sessions spaced 30 days apart, paired with an effective at-home skincare regime, if you’re interested in learning more, we invite you to come in and speak with one of our therapists to see if it’s something best suited to your needs.

YOUR SKIN NEEDLING JOURNEY AT INDULGENCES BEAUTY, NEWCASTLE
Once booked in, here’s what you can expect in your first session:
Consultation
Once you step into the treatment room, our therapists will take you through a thorough consultation, and explain the treatment and proper aftercare needed in order to achieve the best results. During this time, our therapists will work with you to customise a bespoke plan tailored to your specific needs in order to achieve your skin goals.
Preparation
Prior to the start of your treatment, your therapist will prep the skin, cleansing the surface to get rid of any dirt, makeup or built-up residue in order to prevent any transfer of bacteria and allow for optimal efficacy when using the skin pen.
Treatment
The skin needling treatment comprises three steps, the first of which is what you will experience in the treatment room when the skin pen’s microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, triggering your body’s natural immune response to effectively stimulate your skin cell turnover.
As the needles penetrate the epidermis causing inflammation, this will result in an increased blood flow to the area where your skin is going to feel warm and flushed. This will subside over the following 24 hours, and during the course of your treatment, our therapists will ensure you’re feeling relaxed and comfortable at all times.
From here, over the next 3-5 days, the second stage, proliferation, is going to take place, where your body’s natural healing process begins and your skin will start to heal itself. You may experience some light peeling as the old layer sheds and new the skin starts to reveal itself.
Finally, within 7 days of your treatment and for many weeks following, new dermal tissue rich in collagen and elastin proteins will reach the surface, offering a visibly improved appearance, with your skin looking more smooth and radiant.
