Microneedle Therapy
aging (wrinkles, stretching), scarring (including acne scarring) hyperpigmentation, stretch marks and cellulite. It works by using fine needles that injure the skin sufficiently to stimulate collagen and elastin production to thicken the skin thus, erasing wrinkles, smoothing scars and stretch marks. In addition, the fine needles result in the opening of micro-channels that aid in infusing therapeutic serums for greater penetration and increasing overall efficacy.Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the treatment like?
Microneedling is a mesotherapeutic ‘non-ablative’ non surgical tool that facilitates a procedure that preserves the top layer of the skin while inducing the body to produce collagen and elastin. The needle size used is based on the area to be treated.
Is there any downtime?
Microneedling is non-ablative and produces little downtime. The skin may be red and sensitive for about two to three hours following treatment
What kind of results can be expected?
In a recent study, clients experienced overall improvement in most of the cases. Greatest improvements were seen in wrinkles, stretch marks and scarring. Skin texture was also improved.
What are the benefits of this treatment?
The benefits are lots. The fact that it can treat so many conditions like stretch marks, cellulite, scarring, ageing just by the injury that it causes to the skin, so the skin does it self. But the main advantage is that the microneedles open up channels so that mesotherapeutic products can be applied to speed up and improve the results of the treatment.
Is it associated with any risks or side effects?
Microneedling therapy has none of the common risks and offers all of the advantages of the most invasive, expensive treatments. There are needles of different sizes based on the area that is going to be treated but is upto the practitioner to choose which size of needle to be used. Even if a deeper needle than required is used, the damage will be minimal and fades away within a few days.
Are there any clinical studies that prove the results?
Yes, there are and the clinical studies have shown that the mesotherapeutic effect outperforms all ablative treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, CO2 laser and Fraxel, in terms of delivering smoother skin and a loner lasting effect.
Is the treatment painful?
Microneedling treatment is considered a mildly uncomfortable procedure.
