Micro Skin Needling Training

Learn Micro Skin Needling: Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy.

Skin needling is a resurfacing procedure that sounds like it’s straight out of science fiction, but has been shown to be a less-invasive method to improve skin texture and concerns such as scarring and fine lines. Samira performs skin needling and most clients require 3 to 6 session to achieve desired results.

Skin needling, also known as Facial Mesotherapy and Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), involves using a hand held roller infused with multiple, fine-pointed needles on the skin’s surface.

This hand held roller contains needles that are 1-3 mm long and the pinpoint punctures created on the epidermis penetrate the very top most layer of the dermis.

This action activates the skin’s natural wound healing process by releasing fibroblasts and growth factors that create collagen and elastin.

Skin needling was created by a South African plastic surgeon in 1997, who discovered that this procedure is a harmless and less invasive method of inducing the skin to create collagen and elastin.

Since it’s discovery, skin needling has been used for treating sensitive areas that other skin resurfacing procedures may need to avoid, such as scars, vertical lines around the mouth, below the eyes, the neck, backs of hands and thighs.

Skin needling has been found to give the same results as other resurfacing treatments, such as laser, chemical peeling and dermabrasion, but is considered less invasive than these three because the epidermis is left intact. Skin needling is also less likely to cause permanent damage, such as sun sensitivity, skin color loss or hyperpigmentation.
