Why micro needling is the best thing for your skin
Tuesday 21st February 2017
Micro needling has recently become the must have homecare product.
Easy, effective and pain free, micro needling at home is a great way to spice up your skincare routine this Spring.
The Principle
A micro needling device is rolled over the skin and punches micro holes through the horny layer. This allows for products to be absorbed 10,000 x deeper into the epidermis.
Other benefits of micro needling include
- Stimulating collagen production
- Reduces deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Reduces Acne scarring ( should not be used on current inflamed acne)
- Reduces stretch marks
- Helps improve skin texture and tone
- Reduction in hyperpigmentation due to increased absorption of vitamin enhanced treatment creams
Micro needling is easy to perform, simply roll over the entire face and neck area In all directions so as to create as many micro holes in the skin as possible. Then apply your creams as normal.
It is recommended that you begin micro needling only 1-2 times per week to allow the skin to acclimatise to the increased absorption of vitamins.
Over time you can work up to needling every night.
Make sure that you never share your micro needling device and you clean it after each use, allow it to air dry and store in the container provided.
Cosmetic micro needling devices from Environ can be purchased in salon.
