• Microneedle Therapy
Collagen is the structural backbone of the skin. All procedures done for skin rejuvenation is to stimulate collagen production - whether it is by the use of skin care products, facial treatments, lasers, radiofrequency, etc.
Aging is characterized by a loss of collagen and all means of treatments are targeted with the increase in collagen of the dermis of the skin.
One such treatment is the Microneedle therapy that uses the Dermaroller. With the Dermaroller, collagen formation is stimulated by producing controlled injury of the skin up to the dermis where collagen is needed.
In order to do this, multiple needles of appropriate length are rolled into the face, hundreds of small needle sticks produce micro-injury to the skin. The skin is left intact and is not damaged. The skin’s response to this kind of injury is collagen formation and thus results to rejuvenated skin.
This procedure is carried out under topical anesthesia; the skin will be slightly red for the first 2-3 days. Treatment may be repeated after 2-4 weeks. |
