As you may all know now, I have been under the safe guidance and care-taking of\u00a0Laser Clinics Australia Bondi Junction<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for over a year now. LCA Bondi Junction has really guided me as to what was the right treatments for my skin along with specific care at home and a stringent skincare regime in order to combat my cystic acne and get rid of my acne-scarring and pigmentation, but also treat the deeper skinlayers to help manage breakouts, oil-production and clogging of pores which ultimately leads to breakouts and imperfections of the skin.<\/p>\n

Needling isn’t suitable for acne-inflamed skin; this means this treatment isn’t for you if your skin is still breaking out on a daily basis and have got inflamed acne. You will need to get this under control (like I did) ,before you continue onto these types of treatments which, in my case, is done to fix the damage that had been done to my skin and regenerate it.
\nEach puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through the process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis (yes, big words!), there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.<\/p>\n

As scary as it may look, skin needling is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. These needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. It helps to promote collagen levels within 72 hours and ultimately it what will make your skin\u00a0G L O W!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have now had about 4-5 skin needling treatments in the space of 6 months and my skin is glowing like the sun! People actually compliment me on my skin every single day, and this is coming from someone who’s lived the majority of their life battling cystic acne and mountains of breakouts!<\/p>\n

The Treatment Itself:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly a good cleanse (ow two!) is performed to make sure that no bacteria or impurities like makeup is left on your face as the needles will otherwise push it into your skin and will infect the skin – not what we want!<\/p>\n

Then, you’ll be lathered all over your face with a numbing cream – the numbing cream will feel funny as it starts to work, because, basically, it numbs your face – which is exactly what we want to achieve, trust me!<\/p>\n
