SKIN NEEDLING FACT SHEET

WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING?

Skin needling is a procedure that involves using a Skin Roller (a device which causes multiple microscopic puncture wounds to the dermis), causing the body's natural wound healing response to stimulate collagen and elastin production. There are different sizes of Skin Rollers which are suited for at home use and salon professional use.

IS THIS PROCEDURE PAINFUL?

The home use Skin Roller may give very slight discomfort around sensitive areas such as the top of the lip however this size roller is extremely well tolerated. A professional salon treatment device uses a different size roller using slightly larger needles; this treatment usually requires topical numbing cream.

WHAT SKIN'S CAN HAVE THIS TREATMENT?

Skin rolling is safe to use on all skin types and all skin colours. Skin needling is particularly suited to those with acne scarring, lines and wrinkles, sun damaged skin, loss of tone including elasticity and volume.

WHAT SKINS CAN'T HAVE THIS TREATMENT?

Yes, there are some skins that needling may not be suitable for this treatment.
If you have used Roaccutane in the last 12 months, are pregnant or breast feeding, have keloid scars, bruising, open skin or using certain forms of medication. Your skin therapist will be able to provide more information if required.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

We recommend you start with 3 treatments and the number of treatments required after the initial 3 will depend on the individual's response. Treatments should be 6-8 weeks apart.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT MY SKIN TO BE LIKE AFTER THE TREATMENTS?

All skins will benefit from skin needling, results are evident after a few weeks and will skin texture will continue to improve over a 12 month period.

IN WHAT WAY WILL MY SKIN BENEFIT?

These results will be greatly enhanced with the use of products such as Ultraderm Skin Renew Serum and Skin Renew Cream with Apple Stem Cells.

Uncovering The Facts About Apple Stem Cell Extract

    1. What Is It?
The extract from the stem cells of the rare Swiss Uttwiler Spätlauber Apple has been hailed as one of the world’s most exciting breakthroughs in the treatment and restoration of ageing and damaged skin. Following many years of extensive scientific research into the efficacy of the fruit’s stem cell extract on skin and hair, Swiss company Mibelle Biochemistry launched it in 2008 under the name PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica.

    2. What Does It Do?
The Apple Stem Cell Extract works by stimulating a person’s own skin stem cells, effectively activating and restoring the skin’s ability to regenerate and protect itself from within. Prior to the onset of ageing, this is a process which skin cells can manage unaided. But as skin ages, the number of skin stem cells is depleted, reducing its ability to combat damage, resulting in more wrinkles and a general loss of youthful condition.

Mibelle Biochemistry used the stem cell extract in a clinical trial, using 20 subjects who applied a cream containing Uttwiler Spätlauber extract to the crows’ feet area under their eyes. At the end of the four-week trial, wrinkle depth was reduced by an average of 15 per cent.

It is well accepted that premature ageing and a loss of skin condition is exacerbated by exposure to damaging UV rays. Human skin trials of the Uttwiler Spätlauber apple stem cells have revealed that the extract also guards against UV radiation.

    3. Who Is Already Using It?
The extract is already creating headlines around the world, particularly in the US, where First Lady Michelle Obama is said to be big fan. And there are likely to be plenty more headlines to come in the future, following the discovery that the extract also has the ability to delay the ageing of hair follicles – providing exciting possibilities in the treatment of hair loss and degeneration.

    4. Where Can I Get It?
Ultraderm – an innovative Queensland-based skincare company has teamed up with local biochemists and Mibelle Biochemistry to bring Apple Stem Cell Extract to Australia. The Ultraderm range is available only in salons and features the flagship apple stem cell extract (available in Skin Renew Cream and Skin Renew Serum) as well as a complementary range of skincare products including cleansers, toners and moisturisers.
