Microneedling
What does it consist of?
It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin. It is performed through the use of a device called a dermapen, which contains small needles that are inserted into the skin to produce controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and the skin’s natural healing process. This helps improve texture, tone and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Dermapen needles work by penetrating the skin at different depths, depending on the objective of the treatment and the patient’s skin type. Collagen stimulation helps improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars and skin blemishes, and can improve skin texture and tone. It usually requires a series of sessions to achieve the best results.
How is microneedling performed?
1
Skin preparation
The skin is cleansed and an anesthetic solution is applied to reduce the sensation of pain during the procedure.
2
Needle application
A microneedling device with needles is used to puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production.
3
Application of serum or creams
A specific serum or cream is applied to maximize the results of the treatment.
4
Healing
A cream is applied to help heal the skin and prevent infection.
How does the dermopen work?
The Dermapen is equipped with a disposable head composed of microneedles, and works by moving it over the surface of the skin and making a series of repetitive punctures.
This device allows adjusting the depth of these punctures, which should never be greater than 2.5 millimeters. In this way, the Dermapen creates small wounds on the surface of the skin, which have two functions: firstly, they act as small channels to allow the passage of active ingredients into deeper layers of the skin; and secondly, they trigger a response from the body that initiates the process of healing and production of collagen and elastin in a natural way.
Who is microneedling for?
Microneedling is intended for people seeking to improve the appearance of their skin, especially those with wrinkles, fine lines, scars, blemishes, uneven texture and sagging skin. It can also be useful for treating skin problems such as acne and rosacea. However, it is important to consult with our professionals before undergoing a microneedling treatment to evaluate if it is suitable for your skin type and to determine if there are any contraindications or special precautions to be taken into account.
