Does skin microneedling suit me?

Microneedling has a huge following in recent years. With the release of more sophisticated skin pens such as Dermapen you have to experience the most effective skin rejuvenation procedure on the market today.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves puncturing the skin to stimulate collagen production. It involves the use of a microneedling device, a tool that creates micro injuries on the skin which then induces the skin’s natural healing process.

White blood cells, connective tissues, collagen, and elastin populate the micro injuries created to reveal soft, smooth, and flawless skin.

What skin issues do microneedling solve?

One of the major benefits of microneedling is that it addresses a myriad of skin problems for both men and women. Here are the common indications for microneedling:

• Improves the texture and overall appearance of the skin

• Reduction in the volume of blackheads appearing on the skin

• Reduce pore size resulting in smoother skin

• Helps in stopping acne and cystic acne progression

• Exfoliates skin thoroughly

• Slows down the signs of skin aging as evidenced by reduced fine lines and wrinkles

• Diminishes the appearance of scars and stretch marks

How soon do skin benefits appear on the skin?

You will notice an improvement on the appearance and texture of the skin after one session. The long-term benefits however become noticeable 8 to 12 weeks after your initial procedure. For best results, one must undergo microneedling every 6 to 8 weeks. Period in between allows for the skin to heal properly and for new skin cells to fill in the micro injuries created by the skin pen device.

Brighten & Firm with Dermalogica's BioLumin C

Vitamin C is so much more than just an oral supplement you were forced to take when you got a cold. In fact, it’s a huge factor in collagen production which is the main ingredient of new skin cells.

If you want your skin to constantly refresh and repair itself, you need your Vitamin C (guess your mum was right after all!). Skincare brands have been catching on and creating fantastic beauty products infused with Vitamin C, and our skin gets to reap the benefits. But not all skincare products are made equal.

Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C serum delivers 3 x more vitamin C into the skin than leading competitors. A high performance vitamin C serum that works with the skins own defenses to brighten and firm.

Our daily dose of UV and pollution leaves it mark on our skin. Over time, our environment, coupled with our fast-paced lifestyles, equate to a dull, devitalised and older looking skin. It’s no secret that Vitamin C is the go to ingredient for slowing down these effects and firming and brightening the skin. Plus, it’s an antioxidant so it protects from the daily triggers in our environment that speed up the ageing process, an important fact to know about this skincare powerhouse.

Wrinkles, stretch marks, sun damage, inflammation, acne scarring, and dry skin are just a few of the skin problems that Vitamin C serums can help with, but the confidence you’ll gain from fresh, healthy skin? The gift that keeps on giving.
