SKIN ENHANCEMENT WITH MEDICAL DERMAPEN NEEDLING
What is Medical Needling?
Medical Needling is the targeted treatment for intensive skin improvement.
Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T.)) is a revolutionary method:
- to stimulate new collagen production (smoother skin) and elastin (connective tissue)
- to improve skin thickness
- to treat fine wrinkles.
The skin is treated with a Dermapen with needles from 1 to 2.5 mm.
DOUBLE SKIN REPAIR
The Medical Dermapen Needling has a double effect on the skin:
- TRAUMA:
Medical Needling causes small microscopic trauma channels and bleeding directly under the surface of the skin (epidermis). This causes a chain of reactions in which the skin's natural repair mechanism is activated (neo-collaganese) leading to a "wrinkle filling from the inside".
2. OPEN MICROCHANNELS:
Then, through the hundreds of opened microchannels, an increased and deeper absorption of active skincare (Vitamins A, C and E) can be administered, activating the skin's repair mechanism a second time. This is reinforced by the LED therapy that we apply after each treatment.
WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH A NEEDLING?
- face
- cleavage
- neck
- can also be used for other zones.
INDICATIONS
- Skin tightening and revitalization (fresher éclat)
- Fine skin wrinkles and lines
- (Acne) scars
- stretch marks
- burn wounds
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH A NON-MEDICAL NEEDLING BY A BEAUTICIAN? WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE DERMAPEN?
There are currently numerous needling rollers and treatments on the market, but the medical Dermapen needling offers the following benefits:
- the Medical Dermapen Needling can go 10 times deeper in the skin (to a depth of 2,5 mm) compared to the classic dermarollers which are, for example, offered in beauty salons, increasing the effectiveness.
- as the word says, this “medical” needling should be performed by a doctor. In the Global Care Clinic, this treatment is exclusively performed by plastic surgeon Dr. Nelissen.
- the Dermapen's electrical powered system ensures that the needles are driven into the skin perfectly perpendicular and always at the same depth. With a roller system, the skin is punctured after being moved, resulting in a different grade of efficiency.
- some zones are easier accessible by the smaller surface of the Dermapen.
Treatment
-
This treatment is usually well tolerated because the skin is treated in advance with an anesthetic cream.
- Immediately after the treatment, an extra vitamin boost is locked in the skin with a vitamine ampoule,
- followed by medical LED-light therapy (both included in the price) which stimulates collagen production and also promotes recovery.
HOW DOES NEEDLING WORK?
- Needling causes small microscopic bleeding directly under the surface of the skin (epidermis).
- This causes a chain of reactions in which various growth factors are released that trigger the collagen production, elastin, growth factors and other substances (neo-collagenesis).
- By producing collagen and elastin, the skin is strengthened and revitalized.
- By adding proven products such as Vitamins A, C and E and other products, this neo-collagenesis can be further stimulated. All this is done at the microscopic level.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED?
- Multiple sessions are recommended to obtain an optimal result ranging from at least 3 to 6/10 sessions, each with an interval of 2 to 4 weeks.
- Repeating the procedure, will give a superimposed effect and the skin will also show less redness in following treatments.
Downtime
- The treated skin looks temporarily (1 to 2 days) somewhat red (like a sunburn) and slightly swollen but this gradually pulls away (sometimes already the next day).
- The redness can however be perfectly concealed with make up. If desired, this makeup can be put on immediately after treatment (included in the price of the treatment) so that the patient can continue his/her normal social life.
Pre- and post- treatment
- A pre- and post-treatment with skincare products (Vitamins A, C and E) is developed for each patient.
- It is strongly recommended to prepare the skin for some time with the home roller and with the aforementioned skincare.
- Even after the needling, the neo-collagenese will be further stimulated when using adapted skincare.
Comparison with other treatments
-
Because the skin surface is not damaged, but the skin quality improves, Needling can be repeated unlimitedly, contrary to the usually more expensive treatments such as ablative laser treatments, dermabrasion and chemical peeling.
- Needling also scores much higher in the field of anti-aging results than Mesotherapy.
- Recent studies have confirmed that several sessions of Medical Needling can dramatically improve the healing and the appearance of the scar. In Germany, Medical Needling is already refundable in certain cases of burns.
