The Micro-needlling Technique (Collagen Induction Therapy)

Micro-needling is a non-surgical, minimal invasive medical-grade cosmetic treatment that addresses acne scars, skin tone, texture, aging skin, uneven pigment, keloid scars, stretch marks and surgical scars. Micro-needling’s are automated single use device specially designed to cause micro-perforations in the horny layer of the skin to increase the permeability thus allowing the passage of active substances that we apply topically.
The penetration of the micro-needles into the skin stimulates collagen and elastin to improve the tone, texture, and pigment of the skin. Additionally, a powerful HA (hyaluronic acid) serum is incorporated into the treatment to hydrate the skin. This treatment can be combined with other treatments like Injectables, thereby improving the appearance of the skin. It can be done on most part areas of the body and requires no down time. These micro-perforations close after treatment without causing trauma or tissue damage due to its minimal invasive skin rejuvenation procedure. This technique offers beneficial results to treat wrinkles, photo-aging, acne, dilated pores, stretch marks, cellulitis, scars, sagging, etc …
The procedure Needle rollers are rolled over your head in a series of lines, grid patterned to penetrating the scalp or skin by no more than 2-4mm. If a patient finds this uncomfortable an anaesthetic cream can be applied first, though generally this is not needed.
Treatments take up to 30minutes each time. Number of Dermaroller or micro-needling treatments a patient needs Initially a patient may need one treatment every 2 weeks for 1-2 months, then monthly for 3 months, then maintenance treatments every 3-6 months. On average, most people need 6 initial treatments then maintenance treatments once or twice a year. Side effects Dermaroller treatment is considered safe, although a patient may get some mild bruising at the injection site, and this will fade after 12-36 hours. Rarely some patients have had an allergic reaction to their own blood or the products used. Candidates for Dermaroller anti-wrinkle treatment Most people can have Dermaroller, except pregnant women and people taking warfarin (Precautions). Patients who take aspirin or clopidogrel regularly are advised to stop these 2-3 days prior to treatment to minimise bruising. Patients using retinoid creams (retinova) are advised to stop these 3-4 days before treatment. It is also advisable to delay any laser or electrolysis treatments for a week after Dermaroller. Men may wish to avoid shaving on the day of treatment.
