Microneedling

Microneedling works by stimulating the production of new collagen in the skin.

Collagen production is achieved by creating controlled micro-injuries to the dermis with microscopic needles. This stimulates your body’s natural wound healing process. The result is effective collagen production, skin rejuvenation and remodelling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. In addition to treating acne scarring, microneedling improves the appearance of large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, sun damage, and allows deeper penetration of topical products, increasing their effectiveness.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. It takes approximately 60 minutes. An anaesthetic cream is applied before the procedure. It can be used at any time of year and is appropriate for all skin colors and types. It can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

The Derma Pro Pen microneedling treatment typically causes mild swelling and redness. It is similar to a mild sunburn with most of the redness and swelling gone within 2 days of your treatment. It typically takes 4-6 sessions for optimal results.
