Microneedling
A QUICK, MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT
The concept of Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is based on the skin’s ability to repair itself after it encounters physical damage. The treatment creates thousands of micro injuries in the skin with the use of very precise, sterile needles. This controlled injury to the skin triggers new collagen synthesis, resulting in smoother, firmer and younger looking skin, as well as less apparent scars and stretchmarks.
MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
This minimally invasive procedure involves the production of thousands of controlled microscopic needle incisions, puncturing the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the skin) to induce a controlled injury response within tissue through a physical and mechanical mechanism. Microneedling has been shown to be an effective and highly satisfactory treatment for a range of indications, to include:
Acne scars
Traumatic scars
Lines and wrinkles
Epidermal pigments
Stretch marks
Burn wounds
The results of this treatment can be further enhanced by receiving a 15% Trichloracetic Acid Peel (TCA) immediately after Microneedling.
Multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the best results. A typical course of treatment is one appointment every 3-4 weeks for 4-6 months. You can expect to then continue to see results for up to 6-8 months as your skin produces new collagen.
Treatment time: 30-60 minutes
