Skin needling or microneedling is a very innovative way to treat your skin for various conditions. At revita medical and skin clinic we offer this treatment under the guidance of a very experienced Cosmetic Physician. This treatment is very effective and safe and we tailor the treatment according to your need.
How Does it work?
The Micro Skin Needling Device creates fractional micro-channels that will activate your skin’s own renewal and repair response. These micro-channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients, encouraging transdermal delivery of these nutrients deeper into the skin, to feed cells in the dermis and basal layer of the epidermis. By systematically creating micro punctures into the skin, the body naturally responds by stimulating wound healing responses that encourage rejuvenation of the skin. There will be an increase of collagen production.
Benefits
Skin needling causes less epidermal (skin) damage, reducing the level of pain and discomfort experienced. As a result Skin Needling is a safer, more comfortable, and more effective micro-needling treatment than other older devices. Single use cartridges eliminate risk of contamination, whilst the adjustable needle depth allows for a treatment that is fully tailored to your individual needs. The device is so advanced, it is even suitable and safe to use in delicate and hard to reach areas such as around the eyes, eyelids, earlobes, neck, lips and on the nose.
What to expect?
Most people will experience mild redness and possibly some swelling. The same way you may feel with a mild sunburn. Effects may last for 24-48 hours and there may be pinpoint bleeding and/or bruising. Within several days to several weeks you will notice a smoother, brighter, and more radiant appearance, however, the full effects of the treatment do not appear until several months later.
What is the down time like?
The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 12 to 48 hours.
What skin conditions can be treated by micro-needling ?
Improves the appearance of stretch marks Reduces pore size
Improves the quality and texture of the skin Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves the look of disfiguring scars from surgery, accidents or acne.
Will it be painful?
Numbing cream can be applied prior to the treatment which drastically minimizes or eliminates any pain altogether.
How many treatments do I need and how often? Micro-needling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks until you achieve the desired results. The number of treatments required will depend on how each individual responds to the treatments, and the extent of the damage at the beginning Micro-needling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, arms, legs, etc .)
