DERMAPEN SKIN NEEDLING

Give Your Skin A Lift Up

Skin Needling triggers the production of collagen, fostering the development of smoother and healthier skin. This versatile treatment effectively diminishes various skin concerns, including acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation issues, enlarged pores, blackheads, and general scarring. Micro-needling, also known as skin needling, emerges as the optimal solution for achieving instantly firmer and smoother skin. Renowned for its remarkable capacity to stimulate collagen and elastin growth, micro-needling showcases tangible outcomes in comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Beyond imparting a radiant glow, this treatment demonstrates effectiveness in reducing scarring, stretch marks, blackheads, open pores, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and more. Thanks to the device’s rapid speed, the treatments are not only efficient but also comfortable, capable of addressing large or multiple areas simultaneously.

SKIN NEEDLING / CIT

Skin Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), presents an innovative natural approach to enhancing skin texture, smoothing wrinkles, fine lines, and softening scars. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be applied to various areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

The procedure involves the use of a surgical-grade instrument equipped with stainless steel micro-needles ranging from 0.5mm to 1.5mm in length, and up to 2mm for scar treatment. Throughout the session, a combination of hyaluronic acid and colostrums gel is applied to hydrate the skin and minimize fine lines. These products are available for purchase after the treatment.

Skin Needling stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother and tighter skin. By creating only microscopic punctures in the epidermis, this minimally invasive procedure causes minimal damage to the skin’s outer layer. Consequently, collagen production occurs more rapidly compared to some more aggressive treatments.

WHAT SKIN TYPES ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS TREATMENT?

This treatment is suitable for individuals with fine lines, dull skin, enlarged pores, acne scars, chickenpox scars, surgical scars (more than 6 months old), nasolabial lines, smokers’ lines, and those seeking rejuvenation for hands, neck, and décolletage.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Typically, a minimum of three treatments is necessary to achieve optimal rejuvenation for a specific area. For scarring, a higher range of 5-6 treatments is generally recommended. These treatments are spaced 5-6 weeks apart.

WHEN WILL WE SEE RESULTS?

Within the first week post-treatment, some skin peeling may occur, aiding in lightening pigmentation or scarring, resulting in more hydrated skin. As collagen production is a gradual process, most clients notice a progressive improvement in skin color and texture over a 6-8 week period. Consistency in applying creams at home and committing to rebooking treatments enhances these results.

WHEN IS SKIN NEEDLING TREATMENT NOT SUITABLE?

Avoid this treatment within two weeks of having an injectable dermal filler or Botox. It should not be performed on raised moles, warts, or lesions. During pregnancy (except when breastfeeding), the treatment is not recommended. Inform your therapist of any medications, as some may affect healing time. The treatment is not performed during an active herpes or acne breakout; however, it can proceed once resolved after a 2-week period. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, require a medical certificate.

THE SKIN NEEDLING TREATMENT EXPLAINED

The skin is cleansed, and depending on the skin condition, quick microdermabrasion may be performed. Numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes to minimize discomfort, usually rated by clients as 2-3 out of 10. Treatment involves needling each area about 15 to 20 times, with even flushing indicating a successful medical-grade procedure. Skin may appear flushed (pink to red) for an average of 12 to 24 hours. The entire treatment takes approximately 45 minutes, with a recommended total appointment time of 90 minutes.
