Q: How large are the needle sizes in Banish products and why aren’t they larger?
A: There’s a big myth that longer needles help your skin more, but that’s not the case. To trigger collagen production, the needle doesn’t need to go beyond a certain depth. Longer needles, like 3-4 millimeters, only cause more trauma and injury to your skin, which is unnecessary.
Q: What needle size is ideal for collagen production?
A: Studies have shown that collagen production occurs at a depth of 0.5 to 0.6 millimeters, even when the injury depth goes up to 1.5 millimeters. This is why the needles in the Banish Banisher 2.0 and 3.0 are specifically designed to be this length—because it’s effective and safe for home use.
Q: What does science say about longer needles?
A: Doctor Lance Sutterfield’s The Concise Guide to Dermaneedling and the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal (April 2008) both conclude that new collagen forms no deeper than 0.6 millimeters. Longer needles only add unnecessary risk.
Q: Does your skin need to look bloody for microneedling to work?
A: No, it doesn’t! You don’t need your face to look like a vampire for collagen stimulation. All you need is consistent use of 0.5 millimeter needles.
