Skin Needling / Micro Needling
Skin
needling or micro-needling is a form of collagen induction therapy
which is intended to smooth wrinkles, improve depressed acne
scarring as well as reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It is
one the newest, easiest and most effective skin treatments
available and is a process which can be carried out clinically or
in the home. As the process gains awareness it is important to
understand, what skin needling is, how it works and whether it is
a suitable treatment for you.
Micro-Needling – Who is it
for?
Micro-needling is a great choice for people who
haven’t had success with any other type of treatment. Skin
needling, also known as Facial Mesotherapy and Collagen Induction
Therapy (CIT), involves using a handheld roller infused with
multiple, fine-pointed needles on the skin’s surface. This
handheld roller contains needles that are 1-3mm long and the
pinpoint punctures created on the epidermis penetrate the very
topmost layer of the dermis. This action activates the skin’s
natural wound healing process by releasing fibroblasts and growth
factors that create collagen and elastin. Skin needling was
created by a South African plastic surgeon in 1997, who discovered
that this procedure is a harmless and less invasive method of
inducing the skin to create collagen and elastin. Since it’s
discovery, skin needling has been used for treating sensitive
areas that other skin resurfacing procedures may need to avoid,
such as scars, vertical lines around the mouth, below the eyes,
the neck, backs of hands and thighs. Skin needling has been found
to give the same results as other resurfacing treatments, such as
laser, chemical peeling and dermabrasion, but is considered less
invasive than these three because the epidermis is left intact.
Skin needling is also less likely to cause permanent damage, such
as sun sensitivity, skin color loss or hyper pigmentation. A
Esthetician or dermatologist performs skin needling and most
patients require one session to achieve desired results. The skin
taught and, with minimal pressure, passes the roller in short,
back and forth motions (approximately 6-10 times front and back).
Skin needling can be performed on all skin types and colors,
including sensitive skin. Results include thicker, tighter and
smoother skin, increased blood flow to areas of poor healing,
minimized appearance of scars (including acne) and fine lines and
increased penetration of serums and moisturizers. Other results
can include minimized stretch marks and hair loss. Skin needling
can be repeated every 6-8 weeks as long as the epidermis is
healed; however, collagen formation can continue for up to 12
months after one treatment. Per the direction of the therapist,
patients also can incorporate the use of copper peptides or
tretinoin (the acid form of vitamin A) to aid the resurfacing
process.

Ayurvedic Relaxation Therapy (Shirodhara)
Shirodhara is one of the most healing
therapies available. Shirodhara calms an overactive mind, soothes
the nervous system, reduces stress, anxiety, fear, and mental
exhaustion, improves sleep patterns and restores balance to body,
mind and soul. This therapy synchronizes brain waves and enhances
blood circulation to the brain.
A Shirodhara treatment is deeply relaxing. While reclined
comfortably on a massage table and covered with a blanket, warm
herbalized oil is applied in a gentle stream over the forehead
between the brows (also called the third eye or sthaphani marma),
and in a rhythmic pattern over the forehead. This invokes deep
rest and release of tension. After the session, you will lay
quietly for 10-15 minutes to allow for integration of the therapy.
Then, the oil is gently wiped off. You will be provided with a
bandana or fleece cap to wear to keep the head covered and warm.
Allowing the herbalized oil to remain on the head for a couple of
hours is very beneficial. After your session, allow yourself time
for rest and self-reflection. The effects of this treatment are
profoundly soothing. One must experience shirodhara to fully
understand its benefits.
