Micropen Skin Needling

How does Microneedling work ?

Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles.

SkinPen also creates superficial micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively into the skin. SkinPen benefits are a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Eclipse Micropen ™ also has a positive effect on acne scars and traumatic scars and generally creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin. Some patients only require a single treatment, once per year to achieve optimal results.

However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6 week intervals.

What can Microneedling treat ?

Symptoms include uneven skin texture and pigmentation, scars, aged skin, fine lines and wrinkles and stretch marks.

What is a microneedling session like ?

About an hour and a half before treatment, your dermatologist will apply a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort. Then a handheld device is carefully used to make a pattern of pin pricks in your skin, promoting collagen production. The entire treatment typically takes 20 mintes – followed by an after treatment, a serum or calming treatment will be applied to your skin.

What results can be expected from microneedling?

Forefront dermatologists are expertly trained to administer microneedling treatments. Due to their training, they are able to ensure maximum effectiveness by getting deeper into the skin, further stimulating the healing process.

Microneedling recovery takes about three days.
