The move to natural alternatives has seen a boom in treatments such as micro-needling, where a medical-grade pen makes tiny punctures, generating new collagen and smooth skin tissue
.Skin-needling early-adopter Sam Appel, the owner of The Skin Bar, said she had seen an increased interest in “non-invasive” alternatives to botox and is now treating more than 100 clients a week for needling alone.”The market is flooded with options and after the COVID vaccine came out people really began to question what they were putting in their bodies.
Now 35, she was moved to stop using botox about 10 months ago, saying social media and COVID played a role in her decision to stop. Trends fuelled by social media – such as high cheekbones, lifted brows, contoured faces, chiselled jawlines, and big lips – are on the decline, agrees Kiki Chakra, owner of Chakra Face and Body clinic.
Chakra said her clients are asking for a needling treatment called morpheus8, which uses micro-needles to go up to 8mm deep under the skin to emit radio frequency energy. He said mesotherapy was becoming extremely popular – where vitamins and other ingredients are injected directly into the skin.
