engineers, the concept of Skin Needling has a strong
medical heritage derived from ancient acupuncture

using a skin-inject ™ device with 192 surgical
micro-needles between 0.15mm to 2.0mm long depending
on which device is used that roll over the skin to
create pin-point punctures into the epidermis. It
helps to stimulate new collagen growth, improve the
skin texture and reduce the appearance of scarring
and fine to moderate lines.
skin-inject ™ is manufactured in Europe and has

ensuring that design and manufacturing process
reaches the strictest of international safety and
health regulations. skin-inject's exclusive design

skin-inject Roller Needling Treatment Plan
Prior to having Skin Needling, we recommend that the
skin is primed with active ingredients (Vitamins C
and A) for at least two weeks prior to the
treatment. This is to maximise treatment outcomes,
assist in speeding the healing time and reduces the
risk of post peel complications.
A specific skin care regime will be recommended
to you at your initial consultation. To build up
skin tolerance to skin needling, allow 3 day
intervals between treatments for a minimum of 2
weeks. When your skin becomes adjusted to needling,
gradually increase the frequency of use to a 3 times
a week.
Do not use more than once a day. If used more
than once a day the skin-inject roller may cause
more inflammation than is aimed for and even cause
damage.
Each device will last up to 6 months before a
replacement is required.
How to use skin-inject
The aim of the procedure is to create the maximum
number of micropunctures per area of skin being
rolled. It should take you approximately 3 to 5
minutes to roll your whole face. Only ever use as
much pressure as you feel comfortable applying.
Apply the roller gently over the area to be
treated, we recommend to roll 4 times over each area
in each direction, vertically, horizontally, and in
both diagonals, lifting the roller between passes to
avoid rolling the same areas. A simple method is to
divide your face into 6 areas - left and right
forehead, left and right nose/eye/cheek/temple and
left and right lower cheek/mouth/chin areas.
Dermal damage you produced induces the release of
growth factors that stimulate the production of new
collagen and elastin. Because the epidermis is left
intact, the healing period is rapid. The skin does
not risk permanent structural damage, sun
sensitivity, skin colour loss or hyper-pigmentation.
Treatment effects are cumulative and will usually
be seen within 6-8 weeks.
We recommend you rinse your skin-inject roller under
hot tap water after use and allow to air dry. Do not
use cleaning solutions, detergents, bleaches or any
other solutions (including sterilising solutions)
other than hot tap water as they may damage the
stainless steel needles. For hygiene purposes, we
recommend your skin-inject roller be used by only
one person.
Store your rollers in their original packaging.
