Naturally stimulate your skin’s collagen with Pro-Stamp® Needling
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. It provides the support structure that underpins healthy skin and strong bones. Collagen is what gives our skin its strength and elasticity. It also plays a role in replacing and restoring our dead skin cells.
As we get older, our collagen production declines. Wrinkles form and our joint cartilage weakens. Women experience a significant reduction in collagen after menopause and by the age of 60, it is normal to have a considerable decline in collagen production.
Apart from age, there are a number of other factors that can negatively impact our collagen production. These include:
- A high sugar diet
- Smoking
- Sun exposure
- Autoimmune disorders
- Genetic changes
While getting older can’t be avoided, we can take steps to prevent looking older. That includes avoiding tobacco and excess sun exposure and following a healthy diet and exercise regime.
Maintaining a good skincare routine and regular treatments can also help to improve ageing skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Pro-Stamp® Needling is one such treatment that naturally stimulates your skin’s collagen to help maintain a youthful appearance.
What is Pro-Stamp® Needling
Pro-Stamp® Needling is a treatment that helps to naturally stimulate collagen production by using controlled micro-inflammation to the skin to activate the body’s natural healing response. This helps to promote blood circulations, deliver nutrients and oxygen to the skin, and initiate new cell growth – all without destroying the skin’s epidermis.
It is a non-invasive procedure that is excellent for anti-ageing or maintaining a youthful appearance. The results will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and nourished.
How does it work?
The Pro-Stamp® Needling device works by pricking the skin multiple times to stimulate the skin’s cells. This releases growth factors and cytokines – the molecules that aid cell-to-cell communication in immune responses and stimulate the movement of cells towards sites of inflammation, infection and trauma – to naturally increase the skin’s production of new collagen and elastin.
This helps to reboot cellular function and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars, resulting in beautiful, healthy skin from the inside out.
This treatment also creates micro channels to enhance the penetration of topically applied products for better absorption.

Your skin may be more sensitive than usual, however, so it is important to protect yourself from the sun and minimise the amount of time you spend in the sun.
Results will vary from patient to patient. Some people may experience possible side effects, including redness, localised itchiness, and skin dryness.

Anyone can benefit from Pro-Stamp® Needling. It is an excellent treatment for those wanting fresher, tighter, more youthful looking skin. The treatment is most suitable for those with scarring, fine lines crow’s feet, loss of skin firmness, uneven skin tone and signs of photo-ageing.
