Skin needling

Experience the power of skin needling with the Raffine by Alocuro device. This treatment is customised to address your individual skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.

Skin needling works by stimulating collagen production, and each session can be tailored to suit your unique needs.

Let us guide you toward achieving your skincare goals.

Skin Needling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a motorised device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.

Before the treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed. Once the skin is prepared, the Raffine by Alocuro device is passed over the treatment area in a precise, methodical pattern. The depth of the needles can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and your individual skin concerns.

The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area. Mild redness, warmth, and sensitivity may be experienced post-treatment, similar to a light sunburn.

A series of treatments may be recommended for best results, spaced several weeks apart.

To ensure the best results and reduce the risk of adverse effects, please follow the pre-treatment guidelines outlined below:

6 Months Prior

Discontinue oral acne medications such as Roaccutane (or similar isotretinoin-based treatments). Please consult your prescribing doctor before making any changes.

8 Weeks Prior

Avoid any superficial non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid injection procedures.

14 Days Prior

Refrain from chemical peels, laser treatments, and all injectables, including anti-wrinkle, dermal filler, and other facial injections
(except for PRP skin rejuvenation, which may be performed in conjunction with skin needling).

7 Days Prior

Cease aspirin or aspirin-containing medications, in consultation with your treating doctor.
Avoid waxing, microdermabrasion, tanning, and stop using active skincare ingredients including retinol, AHA, BHA, glycolic, and salicylic acids.
