Micro needling (also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy) is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage and ageing.

Here at Revive, we use the Raffiné Automatic Micro-Needle Therapy System to deliver non-surgical and non-ablative treatment of various skin conditions such as ageing (wrinkles, stretching), scarring (acne, surgical) and hyperpigmentation.

Raffiné Micro-Needling works by using a pen-like device containing microneedles to create a series of minor vertical, yet penetrating, stamps. Raffiné Micro-Needling and if safe and effective for all skin types and used all over the face to stimulate the natural production of new collagen and elastin. By simulating the body’s own natural healing process, the skin rebuilds itself to a thicker, smoother, more even and tighter skin texture than previously.

Raffiné is also just as effective as non-ablative treatments like IPL, CO2 Laser and Fraxel in stimulating collagen and elastin production.
