Micro Needling, A New Way to Make Collagen.

Micro needling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CTI), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through the process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis, there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.

How does it work?

Micro needling is based on the use of tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin. The process stimulates your skin's natural ability to heal itself and in the process produces collagen and elastin. This repair process begins almost immediately and results in a thicker dermis and softened wrinkles or scars.

There is no tissue destruction with micro needling. The small channels in the epidermis close very quickly and the skin begins a healing response right away. Depending on the depth of the skin defect. you may see only redness or you may experience some pinpoint bleeding which stops almost immediately.

An outstanding product absorption booster.

These superficial micro-channels also allow topical gels, creams, and serums to be absorbed more effectively into the skin, much like dermablading will do. But dermablading does not make the channels, it just exfoliates the skin at a different level. Specific treatment products can be selected to achieve accelerated results. We will employ various topicals depending upon your needs, such as Hyaluronic Serums, Lightening or Bleaching Serums, Step Cells to multiply new young cells, Vitamin C for strengthening and antioxidant boost.

What areas can be treated?

Micro needling can safely be used on nearly all parts of the body with the most frequent treatments being on the face, neck, decollete, and arms.

Fun Fact: The most effective anti-aging treatments rarely come with affordable price tags. The price of micro needling ranges between $300 and $750, per treatment.
