Microneedling is a skincare innovation that offers a minimally invasive solution for stimulating collagen production to rejuvenate your skin without resorting to more invasive procedures.
At Select Skin, we use microneedling to stimulate and induce collagen production, which is essential for achieving rejuvenated skin with improved texture and tone.
With microneedling gaining popularity as a go-to solution for various skin conditions, let’s take a closer look at its safety and efficacy as a successful treatment, the science and benefits behind microneedling, and provide you with a clear understanding of how it works and its transformative potential for your skin.
We love microneedling and find it a fascinating topic with plenty to explore, so let’s get into it.
First developed by Dr. Desmond Fernandes in 1997, microneedling introduces micro-injuries to the skin to stimulate collagen production and to improve and enhance the skin’s appearance by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Since its inception, microneedling has become one of the most popular, safe, non-invasive treatments available in clinics because of its versatility and efficacy for various skin types and conditions.
With consistent use, microneedling treatments aim to activate skin repair by creating micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing processes by inducing collagen and elastin production.
As a result, microneedling can significantly improve skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and enhance the skin’s overall appearance.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in our body, is pivotal in maintaining the skin’s structural integrity, elasticity, and firmness. Its presence is crucial for keeping the skin youthful, plump, and vibrant.
As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of skin elasticity and firmness.
Environmental factors, such as sun exposure and pollution, can further accelerate collagen breakdown, exacerbating the visible signs of ageing.
Regular controlled microneedling treatments can interrupt or slow this natural decline by stimulating the skin’s repair mechanisms; this process is called collagen induction therapy (CIT).
Microneedling taps into the body’s innate healing abilities to rejuvenate the skin. It activates cellular activities in the deeper layers of the skin to do what it would naturally do: heal and repair itself with new collagen and elastin.
Modern microneedling devices are equipped with numerous needles in a pen or gun-like device to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
Although these micro-injuries are minuscule and superficial, they significantly activate the skin’s natural repair processes. When the skin senses these micro-injuries, it kicks off a cascade of healing responses, including the production of collagen and elastin—two of the most crucial elements for maintaining the skin’s structural integrity, elasticity, and youthful appearance.
The new production of collagen and elastin during the healing process helps soften fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, making them less noticeable.
Furthermore, the process encourages your skin to regenerate, leading to a more even skin tone and texture.
All this activity at a cellular level is the foundation of microneedling’s effectiveness in improving your skin’s appearance and overall health.
At Select Skin, we’ve carefully selected the best-in-class with the Dermapen 4 Medical Microneedling, one of the most advanced microneedling devices worldwide and crafted to significantly enhance the benefits of microneedling and Collagen Induction Therapy.

With the Dermapen 4 Medical Microneedling, treatments are precise and tailored to your skin’s unique requirements, promising a more comfortable experience and superior rejuvenation results.
It’s important to note that the microneedling procedure should only be performed by a qualified practitioner. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is essential to seek professional advice and choose a reputable practitioner for optimal results and safety.

With this carefully crafted approach, your microneedling treatment is not just a stand-alone procedure but a personalised treatment plan for healthier, more radiant skin.
During your initial consultation, we’ll thoroughly discuss any side effects you might experience to ensure you’re fully informed.
Like any medical procedure, microneedling has potential side effects; however, these are infrequent due to the advanced technology of Derampen 4 Medical Microneedling.
Immediately after your treatment, you may notice some redness, slight swelling, and a sensation of sensitivity in the treated area.
These symptoms are typically mild and expected to resolve within a few days post-treatment.
Should you have any concerns following your treatment, we encourage you to reach out to us. We’re here to support you every step of the way towards achieving your skincare goals.
Several factors influence the outcomes and microneedling benefits, including the condition of your skin, your skin priorities, the intensity of the procedure, the frequency of sessions, and your adherence to the skincare regimen we recommended during your consultation.
Following a tailored skincare routine and advice from our team of skin therapists, you can maximise and extend the benefits of your microneedling treatment.
Of course, as with any treatment, it’s essential to know that while microneedling delivers significant improvements, the extent and duration of results can vary from person to person.
