Micro-Needling
Microneedling also known as collagen induction therapy, is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation. A topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area prior to the procedure. During your treatment, an FDA-approved handheld device, known as a Dermapen® is utilized. Dermapen® is an automated micro-needling device with a disposable tip cartridge, which penetrates vertically into the skin. The stamping action of the Dermapen’s vertical tip creates invisible micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen within the skin. Micro-Needling benefits include:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves the appearance of stretch marks.
- Minimizes pore size.
- Improves the appearance of surgical scars and acne scars
Resulting in skin that is rejuvenated and refreshed. Microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones because the treatment does not damage the epidermis.You can receive treatment every four to six weeks. It can take three treatments for collagen induction to be most effective. Even though you may see results 3-4 weeks after your intial treatment, Micro-needling may take four to six months to achieve ideal cologen genesis.
