Micro-needling
It is a technique that involves using multiple tiny sterile needles to puncture the skin and cause physical “trauma”, this “micro-trauma” prompts the skin to rebuild, resulting in a smoother, toned skin appearance.
+ How does it work?
Micro-needling stimulates the production of collagen and other factors by the skin that are essential to help keep the skin looking healthier with a firm and smooth texture. In addition, micro-needling can be used to deposit useful ingredients and hydrating agents into the skin to further promote its healing and rejuvenation.
+ What are the uses of Micro-needling?
Micro-needling can help in a variety of skin problems like:
- Wrinkles.
- Large skin pores.
- Pigmentation.
- Scarring.
- Stretch marks.

Micro-needling is generally considered safe and effective, but there are still some risks like irritation, swelling, redness, bruising, dryness, flaking of the skin. There is also a risk of infection, skin pigment changes and reaction to the ingredients used.
For further details concerning your specific treatment with Micro-needling, please consult Dr M Hani to fully discuss what the procedure is likely to involve, the benefits, the potential risks and any other alternative and/or complementary treatments you may need to achieve a natural and healthy appearance.
