Microneedling Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation

As we all know, the production of cells, collagen and elastin naturally diminishes with age, which can cause wrinkles, saggy skin and a hollowing effect. Microneedling is used as an alternative to the traditional facelift and other surgical procedures, as it helps to reduce signs of aging and even out skin tone.

Microneeding, also referred to as DermaPen and Rejuvapen, was originally introduced in 2011, as a highly effective skin rejuvenation procedure that involves microscopic needling to treat skin conditions such as removing fine lines, removing wrinkles, acne scars, wound scars, as well as general facial rejuvenation.

Why Microneedling

To stimulate collagen production and to increase the absorption of skincare products. Microneedling is a treatment that involves using a tool with 11 super-tiny needles in the very tip, which can be adjusted by your professional between 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters.

How Microneedling Works

Through collagen induction therapy, the skin can be prompted to heal and repair itself, so instead of looking good for a few days after your traditional facial, your skin is smooth and radiant for much longer. It’s such a safe procedure, and is great for filling in acne scars.

The treatment creates micro-punctures from the needles in your skin. Your body treats a small wound the same way as a large wound, and sends fibroblasts to create more collagen in the affected area. We are basically tricking your skin into thinking it has been wounded, but as a result, we’re thickening the skin and improving the texture with this procedure.

While Dermapen can be used to replace facial treatments like traditional plastic surgery and facelifts, it can also be used as a supplement to existing procedures in order to increase the effectiveness and absorption of products such anti-aging creams and serums. The benefits include skin tightening and lifting, improved appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and minimized pore size. Overall, skin appears more refreshed, rejuvenated and replenished.

Microneedling Treatments

The before and after’s are typical of a series of treatments where patients experienced six treatments over the space of six months. Each treatment is done four weeks apart.

Microneedling isn’t exclusive to just the face area.

The treatment can be done anywhere the skin on the body needs to be thickened, particularly those that have stretch marks, like the legs, chest, or butt, and 4 to 6 sessions on average usually do the trick.
