Microneedling
Microneedling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, Dermarolling or Vampire Facial - An Anti-Aging Miracle worker it has become one of the most popular and growing Medical Aesthetics treatments in Canada and around North America.
Microneedling is one of the best long term skin rejuvenation treatments today for younger looking skin! It incorporates a series of treatments with marked improvement along the way that is natural and effective.
This treatment is a minimally invasive method to stimulate new skin cells by using microneedles. The skin reacts to the micro puncture by starting a wound healing cascade. Stem cells in the lowest epidermal layer are stimulated to proliferate. New cell formations are formed and the skin becomes thicker. New anchor collagens re-connect epidermis and dermis. The production of hyaluronic acid is increased and fine wrinkles are smoothed. The supply of oxygen is improved and the skin is rejuvenated.
What Areas of the Body Can I Treat?
Eclipse MicroPen® can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.
What is the Downtime?
Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the pen position used and the number of overlapping passes your skin-care professional performs. On average, patients experience redness for 2-4 days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours. Utilizing appropriate post treatment products can aid the healing process.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with more significant skin-care concerns, such as acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals.
