Dermal needling is a micro needling treatment that can treat many different skin concerns and conditions. This treatment is very quick, as the Dermapen 4 creates 1,920 microchannels a second from the 16 micro needles it holds, but they’re such tiny needles you can barely see them.
Dermal needling stimulates cells within the skin to correct disfunctions and stimulate newer healthier cells to the area being treated.
For collagen induction, we stimulate the deeper layers of the skin to rupture broken collagen structures and stimulate the production of more collagen and elastin in the area,
With acne skins, we create tiny channels to introduce oxygen into the skin – this therefore kills off acne causing bacteria, relieves pressure and stimulates immunity cells to the area. So not only are we eliminating bacteria, but also, we’re stimulating the skin to renew and regenerate.
We recommend a course of 3-4 treatment, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Any more frequent could possibly cause the skin harm and negate the benefits of needling. Maintenance is recommended at every 3 months, with other regular skin treatments.
You can do as many courses of needling as you like through out your life.
After needling you can expect to look a little red and flushed, as if you’ve just been for a run. You may also feel hot and tight afterward, we recommend using a cold compress at home if you’re still experiencing a fair it of warmth.
When we use dermal needling to induce collagen, it is common to have a bit of pinpoint bleeding, as we’re working deeper in the skin, but this doesn’t continue for long and you won’t still have the pinpoint by the time you leave the treatment room.
Dermal rolling is much more damaging for the skin compared to dermal needling.
Dermal rolling causes pitting in the skin as the needles are just digging and tearing at the skin when rolled across, causing damage to skin tissue long term. Whereas needling creates controlled and precise microchannels by osculating up and down, there’s no risk of damaging skin tissue this way.

Let’s face it there is a lot of conflicting information on dermal fillers and cosmetic treatments. The emphasis appears on social media that having dermal filler or anti-wrinkle injections gives an over filled or frozen look. Many of these reflections on the media are merely reflections of distorted trends, that end up scaring people away from using the latest technologies to provide a natural refreshed look.
At Luxe Appearance, we combine Dermal Fillers and Enzyme Therapy together to help create the best version of you! Here’s a quick overview of the benefits of using both treatments.
Dermal Filler is typically used to replace volume that is lost in your face as you age, to soften wrinkles and enhance lips. Combining filler with DMK Enzyme Therapy provides several major benefits for your skin.
As cliche as it is, most of us that have dark circles are tired of them. We simply want to reduce them or get rid of them. Having tried every regime known to woman or man, from cold cucumber rounds, to cabbage leaves, to potatoes, there are plenty of home cures that people swear by; yet, you still have dark circles, that no amount of sleep seems to take away either. Lets take a close look at some of tried and true remedies that actually do work.

A luxurious salon with very professional staff and lots of smiles. I recommend the DMK Advance treatment my skin has never felt so good, thank you.

My very first visit to Luxe Appearance was a wonderful experience. Sarah is extremely talented in visualising where in my case Botox should be administered for a very natural result. One of the best results I have received after being a regular Botox user over the years. The salon is immaculate with a very professional and friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be back!
