You Are Not Buying The Needles, You Are Buying The Repair

The device makes thousands of very fine channels in the skin. Nothing about those channels is the result. What matters is what your skin does about them over the following weeks.

Your skin treats those channels as something to close, and closing them means producing collagen and elastin in the area. That is the entire mechanism, and it is why the treatment is sold as a series rather than a one off. The flush you leave with is not the result. The result turns up between appointments.

Depth and cartridge are set for the job rather than left on a default. Twelve and sixteen pin cartridges suit textural work such as the appearance of scarring and stretch marks. Twenty four and thirty six suit finer work on lines. It is the sort of decision that sounds minor and is the difference between a treatment that does something and a treatment that just made you red for a day.

LED Straight Afterwards Is Worth It

Red and yellow LED after needling helps the redness settle and is the most commonly added extra here. It runs in fifteen minute blocks from $20 and gets tacked onto the same appointment rather than booked separately.

She Remembers What Your Skin Did Last Time

Which booster you had, what your cheeks did on day two, what you said about the week after. That is the difference between six appointments and a course of treatment, and it is the reason results build here instead of resetting.

What It Targets, And What It Depends On

Aftercare being applied following a skin needling treatment
  • Firmness and the general condition of the skin, which is what most people notice first
  • The appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores and uneven texture
  • The appearance of scarring and stretch marks, worked at the depth and cartridge that suit textural change
  • The appearance of uneven tone and pigmentation, usually paired with the whitening ampoule
  • How much of any of this you see depends on your skin, your consistency and what else you are doing for it

When It Is Not The Right Treatment

Active acne with open lesions, a cold sore in the area, broken skin, a current infection, or anything you are being treated for medically without your doctor’s sign off. Simone asks about all of it before she starts and will move your appointment rather than work over the top of something.

How Often To Come Back, And What Goes In Between

The cadence Simone actually runs, rather than the one that fills a calendar fastest.

Week 0

What happens
Skin needling with your booster
Why
The treatment that does the structural work

Week 3

What happens
Dermaplaning or an enzyme peel
Why
Clears the dead skin that builds up afterwards

Week 6 to 8

What happens
Skin needling again
Why
Far enough apart for the collagen response to run its course

Ongoing

What happens
Alternate the two
Why
Consistent work on the skin without pushing it too hard

This is a guide, not a subscription. If your skin does not need the in between appointment, Simone will tell you to skip it.

Questions People Actually Ask

Less than most people brace for. The device runs fast enough that it reads as vibration and pressure more than anything sharp. The forehead and the jawline are the areas people notice most. If it is more than you want to sit through, Simone slows down or changes the depth.

Twenty four to forty eight hours of looking flushed, a bit like mild sunburn, and slightly tight. No makeup, no sun, no chlorine and no sweaty gym session for the first day or two. Most people book it for a Thursday or Friday so the redness has settled by the weekend.

Every six to eight weeks for most people, with something lighter in between. Simone usually alternates needling with dermaplaning or an enzyme peel at around the three week mark, so the skin is being worked on consistently without being pushed too hard.

A booster is what gets applied while the channels the needling creates are still open, so it goes further in than it would sitting on the surface. Exosomes, salmon DNA, stem cell and the whitening ampoule each target something different. You do not need one, and plenty of people have the treatment on its own.

The immediate look, which is plumper and smoother, turns up within a few days once the redness settles. The part worth having is collagen and elastin, and that builds over weeks rather than overnight, which is why it is sold as a series rather than a single appointment. How much you see varies from person to person.

Yes. The neck and the decolletage are commonly done at the same time, and the device handles larger areas quickly, so body work such as stretch mark areas is possible. Tell Simone what you want covered when you book so the right amount of time is set aside.

Skin needling is a mechanical treatment rather than a light or heat based one, so it does not carry the pigment risk some devices do. Simone still asks about your history with pigmentation before she starts, and adjusts the depth and the aftercare accordingly.

No sun on the area in the days beforehand, no retinol or acids for about five days, and no waxing on the face that week. Come with clean skin and no makeup if you can. Tell Simone about anything else you have had done recently, wherever you had it, and she will work out the spacing.
