Microneedling
Microneedling Magic: Transform Your Skin, Transform Your Confidence!
What is Microneedling?
Among non-surgical procedures, microneedling, or also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive technique which uses a handheld device with fine needles to make small holes into the skin.
The controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s regeneration processes, which lead in turn to the overproduction of collagen and elastin. These elements not only provide the skin with texture and firmness but also help in eliminating marks, scars, stretch marks and pores.
Micro-needling is a tried-and-true method of treatment for a variety of skin problems, and it is suitable for all skin types.
What Can be Treated Using Microneedling?
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address several skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: micro-needling treatment can be used to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which can be useful in reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles and thus make the skin appear smoother and younger.
- Acne scars: The microneedling treatment is used to break down scar tissue and stimulate the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells. As a result, the acne scars will be slowly fading away.
- Stretch marks: Micro needling can even out stretch marks and make them better looking by boosting the production of collagen and the renewal process of the skin.
- Skin texture irregularities: Microneedling can be used to make the skin surface more uniform and thus it becomes smoother and more even-toned.
- Pore size reduction: Micro-needling is the technique that is used to narrow open pores, which results in smoother and refined looking skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production: Microneedling activates the skin’s natural self-healing mechanism, which in turn raises the levels of collagen and elastin, the two main skin components that are responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
- Improves skin texture and firmness: Microneedling causes the production of collagen which in turn improves the texture and firmness of the skin and thus gives it a more youthful look.
- Diminishes scars, pore size, and stretch marks: Micro-needling decreases the appearance of scars, pores, and stretch marks, therefore, the skin is left with a smooth and even texture.
- Safe for all skin types: It is safe and effective treatment for every skin type including sensitive skin.
Minimal downtime: Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.
Microneedling - RF Treatment
RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology. This advanced RF treatment improves the effects of microneedling by delivering the heat to deeper dermal layers and so tissue tightening and collagen and elastin production are stimulated.
Each RF microneedling session is usually less than an hour long and the recovery time is minimal. A slight redness and swelling may be experienced by the patients, which, normally, recedes within a day or two.
The majority of clients achieve the best results after a course of 3 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart, with the final outcome visible 4-6 weeks after the final session. The effect can stay for 6 months to a year. Afterwards, a touch-up treatment may be needed.
Microneedling - Dermapen
Dermapen microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device with a dozen small needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing the production of collagen and elastin. The Dermapen treatment effectively reduces signs of aging, sun damage, enlarged pores, and shallow scars.
Each Dermapen microneedling session typically takes less than an hour and involves minimal downtime, with most patients experiencing only mild redness similar to a sunburn for 12-24 hours post-treatment. Results can last six months to a year, with occasional touch-up sessions recommended for maintenance.
