Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Medical Micro-Needling?

      For skin micro-needling, we use an electric skin needling device made especially for this purpose. The device is a pen shaped studded with 12 very fine needles. It is a medical device used in micro needling to break down old scar tissue and to stimulate skin cells to proliferate. This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibers as well as in new capillaries for an improved blood supply.

 

What conditions can be treated or improved with Medical Micro-Needling?

 

• Mild to moderate acne scarring; any new or old scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles;

• Loose, lax skin;

• Skin texture and pore size

• Stretch marks

 

 

How does Medical Micro-Needling work?
 

     The device slides along the skin, penetrating the upper layers of the skin to a depth of up to 2mm to create numerous tiny needle wounds. The procedure prompts the body to respond through the creation of new collagen and elastin fibers. In response to the stimulus, the skin plumps and thickens, reducing the appearance of scars, and fine lines and wrinkles.

What effects does the Medical Micro-Needling have on the skin?

• improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles

• stimulates tissue regeneration

• disfiguring scars, especially acne scars can be improved as new collagen fibers elevate the depressed scar tissue with the periphery skin

• pore size reduction

• improves the appearance of stretch marks
