Microneedling
Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment
that creates micro-injuries in the skins dermis,
stimulating collagen production, improving the
skins texture and tone. This treatment is safe
for all skin types as long as there is no active
breakouts or immense inflammation. During the
micro needling process, brighteners, collagen,
and Plumping agents are instilled onto the skin
to all the skin for optimized results.Before the
procedure commences a topical anaesthetic to be
be applied to the clients skin to ensure their
comfort and a painless experience.

How does skin needling work?
The concept of skin needling is based on the
skins natural ability to repair itself whenever
it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns
and other abrasions. Immediately after an injury
occurs to the skin our body reuses the damaged
collagen and elastin fibres as well as other
damaged skin components to produce new ones. Skin
needling allows for controlled induction of the
skins self repair mechanism by creating micro
injuries in the skin which triggers new
collagen synthesis, yet does not pose the risk of
permanent scarring. The result is smoother,
firmer and younger looking skin.
5
How is the treatment administered?
At Muse Maven all Microneedling procedures are
performed by professional Esthetician and or
medical practitioner with the use of the sterile.
The procedure is normally completed within 30-45
minutes depending on the required treatment and
anatomical site. Before the procedure commences a
topical anaesthetic to be be applied to the
clients skin to ensure their comfort and a
painless experience. After the skin is numbed,
the practitioner gently rolls or presses the Skin
Pen over the clients skin to puncture the
outermost layers of the skin and create miniscule
sub-cutaneous injuries. These microscopic wounds
stimulate new collagen deposition which may last
for up to a year, yet they close within less than
an hour causing no bruising or injury.
6
What happens post-treatment?
After the procedure the clients skin will be red
and flushed in appearance in a similar way to
moderate sunburn. The client will also experience
skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on
the area being treated. This will diminish
greatly after a few hours following treatments
and within the next 24 hours the skin will be
completely healed. After 3 days there is barely
any evidence that the procedure has taken place.
7
How quickly are results visible?
Visible results of skin rejuvenation are seen
after just 6-8 weeks following procedure and
continue over the following months for up to a
year. A course of three skin needling sessions,
at 6-8 week intervals, is usually recommended to
achieve optimum results however great skin
improvement is noticeable after just one
treatment.
8
Is skin needling safe?
Skin needling does not involve injections and
therefore allergic reactions and side-effects are
unlikely. It is minimally invasive, involves
minimal downtime (max. 24hrs), rapid healing and
requires simple after-care. Clinical skin
needling is minimally invasive and normally no
blood is drawn, however small amounts of pin
point bleeding in clients with thin skin may
occur and should be considered as normal.
9
Can skin needling be carried out on All Skin ?
Skin needling can be safely performed on all skin
colours and types. There is no risk of post
inflammatory hyperpigmentation as the melanocytes
remain intact, like the epidermis, during skin
needling. Other invasive procedures such as laser
resurfacing are not recommended for Asian skin
due to the potential risks of delayed wound
healing, pigmentary changes and scarring. This is
where skin needling has an advantage as these
potential risks are very unlikely due to the
epidermis remaining intact. Use of skin needling
is viewed as a suitable procedure as it does not
affect the heightened wound healing response in
Asian skin. This natural reaction is not induced
by skin needling as it does not disrupt the
melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin which
is a pigment responsible for skin colour.

Does it hurt?
The models are specifically designed to penetrate
deep enough to be very effective, and yet not
deep enough to touch nerves and cause appreciable
pain. When used according to the directions, the
ultra-sharp titanium needles will penetrate the
upper layers of skin Therefore, Longer needles
(1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 3.0mmm) can cause pain
but also produce significantly better results.
Therefore they can only be used by experts and
have to be accompanied by a topical anaesthetic
will be applied to numb the skin making the
procedure comfortable. Normally this is a 4
Lidocaine or other anaesthetic creams applied 45
minutes before procedure takes place.
11
What topical can be used along with Microneedling?
Skin needling will induce collagen synthesis on
its own (dry skin needling), but skin
improvements is significantly enhanced by
combining skin needling treatments with the
topical application of vitamin A prior, during
and post treatment. Vitamin C is an essential
co-factor to be used alongside vitamin A. Both
vitamin A and C work synergistically to induce
collagen synthesis and help regenerate the skin.
12
What are the indications for having a skin
needling treatment?
Skin needling is especially effective for ageing
concerns such as wrinkles, lines, folds and crows
feet. Because collagen is produced, scars can
also improve from treatments especially indented
acne scars or chicken pox scars. Pigmentation
issues can be helped including hyperpigmentation
as well as Hypopigmentation. General lack of skin
radiance, skin firmness and compactness are also
an indication for skin needling treatments and
visible improvements can be seen.
13
What are the contraindications of skin needling
treatments?
Relative contraindications include keloid or
raised scarring history of eczema, psoriasis and
other chronic conditions history of actinic
(solar) keratosis history of Herpes Simplex
infections history of diabetes presence of
raised moles, warts or any raised lesions on
targeted area. Absolute contraindications
include scleroderma, collagen vascular diseases
or cardiac abnormalities Rosacea and blood
clotting problems active bacterial or fungal
infection immunosuppression scars less than 6
