Bio-Microneedling

Efficient Collagen Stimulation: In just 5 minutes, 3-5 million natural siliceous microneedles are applied to the dermis through hand massage, promoting rapid collagen regeneration.
Enhanced Skin Renewal: Spicules stimulate skin cell turnover, accelerating the natural renewal process.
Instant Plumping Effect: As the skin heals, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, resulting in an almost immediate plumping effect.
Effective Nutrient Delivery: The microneedles create millions of micro-channels, facilitating deep transdermal absorption of essential nutrients.
Boosted Metabolism: By penetrating the outer layer of skin, spicules enhance subcutaneous microcirculation and speed up cell renewal.
Accelerated Skin Rebuilding: Repeated treatments shorten the skin renewal cycle from 28 days to just 7 days, helping to rebuild the epidermis and improve overall skin health.

My Skin Studio spicule treatment will achieve good results after 4-6 sessions. However, for optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the skin condition. Your therapist will advise.

Treatment can last up to 45 minutes. The following 72 hours after treatment, the microneedles remain in the skin and continue to promote collagen production. It is not abnormal to feel a slight tingly feeling when making contact with the
skin.

Post-treatment, you may experience redness, which is a normal reaction and typically lasts between 1 to 3 days. During the initial days following the procedure, your skin may feel relatively dry due to the accelerated skin cell renewal process.

To support your recovery, you can receive products, specially formulated to nurture your skin. Mild peeling may begin around day 3, a standard part of the skin’s healing response. The extent varies based on individual skin types and conditions. Visible results can often be observed as soon as 7 days after treatment.

IMPORTANT:

• Inform your clinician of ANY treatment prior to booking
• Stop application of topical Vitamin A at least 7 days prior to treatment

  Niacinamide can be introduced.

DAY 1: Following your treatment,
DO NOT touch your skin or cleanse. It is normal for the skin to feel flushed, itchy, and hot, with a prickly sensation from the needles. This is a sign that the treatment is working.

To relieve these symptoms, you can:

• Splash with cool water
• Apply a sheet mask with gentle actives, like Hyaluronic Acid
• Ice the face If the skin feels dry, you may use your Repair Gel or Repair moisturiser. Avoid sun exposure and wear a hat if you are outside.

DAY 2:
You may experience the following symptoms – don’t be alarmed; it is normal.
Tingling and needling feeling will last for up to 72 hours. The skin will be extremely dry after the treatment. Increased hydration will help the skin recover. Using a facial sheet mask is suggested, e.g. Sequential Skin Biome Mask.
Redness: can occur as the dead skin cells are renewed.
Dryness: The skin can be dry for a few days and up to two weeks following treatment. The skin cell renewal process has occurred, and the skin may need supplementary moisture.
Itching: Itchiness is your body’s natural response in the healing phase. Acne: (Purging) For acne-prone skin, a large number of acne and closed acne may be discharged on the third day. This is normal and nothing to worry about; we call
this purging.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The below aftercare is a gold standard in skin recovery after liquid Bio-Needling and achieving the maximum results. We understand that for many, not cleansing or wearing make-up is not preferred.
However, please be aware that cleansing the skin before day 3 will remove the spicules and may inhibit the result. We advise following

Note: Option 2 in the below routines will achieve optimum results.
AM: Option 1: Resume normal routine; cleanser, moisturiser, Repair Gel/Calming Essence can be incorporated. SPF can be worn and make-up if desired. Do not use AHA, BHA or Retinol.
Option 2: For more intense results, avoid cleansing the skin for the first 72 hours. Splash with cool water, avoid make-up, use Repair Gel/Calming Essence/Repair Moisturiser/SPF if desired.
PM: Rinse with water – apply Repair Gel or Repair moisturiser, Avoid excessive exercise and sweating for the first 48 hours.

DAYS 3 – 6:
After approximately 72 hours, the spicules will naturally fall out of the skin, causing the skin to peel at the same time. Skin peeling will start on the third day. DO NOT tear it but let it fall off naturally. It is normal for thick and oily skin not to peel. You may experience the following symptoms, which are all normal:
Peeling: Due to the build-up of old skin cells, different skin conditions will experience varying degrees of skin renewal and peeling.
Redness: Can occur when dead skin cells are renewed.
Dryness: The skin can be dry for a few days and up to two weeks following treatment. The skin cell renewal process has occurred, and the skin may need supplementary moisture.
Tightness: As the skin heals, the skin can feel tight and dry.
Acne: (Purging) For acne-prone skin, a large number of acne and closed acne may be discharged on the third day. This is normal and nothing to worry about; we call this purging.

AM: Option 1: Resume normal routine; cleanser, moisturiser, Repair Gel/Calming Essence can be incorporated. SPF can be worn and make-up if desired. Do not use AHA, BHA or Retinol.
Option 2: For more intense results, avoid cleansing the skin for the first 72 hours. Splash with cool water, avoid make-up, use Repair Gel/Calming Essence/Moisturiser/SPF if desired. If the skin is peeling or feels very tight, we suggest using an enzymatic exfoliator such as Nimue Exfoliating Enzyme. Apply it as a mask for 2 minutes and gently massage.
PM: Cleanse with a gentle cleanser. If necessary, apply Repair Gel or  moisturiser (GERnétic Synchro) plus your gentle actives.

DAYS 7 – 10:
You may start to reintroduce your actives and resume your normal skincare routine. The skin may still experience:
Dryness: The skin can be dry for a few days and up to two weeks following treatment. The skin cell renewal process has occurred, and the skin may need supplementary moisture.
Peeling: Due to the build-up of old skin cells, different skin conditions will experience varying degrees of skin renewal and peeling.
