FAQs

First, the skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.

Next, a Peptide fell is applied for a small pen with a sterile, disposable tip containing MicroNeedles to gently move over your skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced punctures. We are able to adjust both the depth and the angle of the needles.

Finally, once the treatment is over, we will apply complex repair cream or Vitamin-C complex to protect it during the healing process along with sunblock to protect the skin from sun damage.

After the procedure your skin will show signs of redness or erythema and will appear similar to moderate sunburn. There may be some slight swelling. The redness and swelling will begin to subside 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. By day 3 the erythema and swelling subsides and the skin takes on a pink colour there is barely any evidence that the procedure has taken place. During the first 3 days you will also experience some skin tightness dryness and mild sensitivity to touch on the areas that have been treated. This diminishes greatly following the treatment and over the next 2- 3 days. After the treatment we always recommend a sunblock.

No, in normal skin, the MicroNeedling procedure does not cause HyperPigmentation as long as the skin is protected against UV rays after the treatment for 7 to 10 days with a suitable sunblock. Over exposure to UV after MicroNeedling may cause HyperPigmentation but the risk is small.

This safe treatment brings many benefits including:

• Deeper absorption of the active ingredients in creams and topical serums
• Improves blood supply and circulation
• Increases the production of collagen through stimulation of Fiberblasts
• Safe for all types of skin
• Non-allergenic since nothing is injected and medical grade titanium needles are used
• Less expensive than other resurfacing treatments
• Safe for use on the scalp and body and also the fragile skin around the eyes, neck and mouth
• Less painful with better results then traditional lasers: CO2 Fraxel, Photofcial & lasers

The effects of Medical MicroNeedling on the skin are significant:

• Improve skin texture and wrinkle appearance
• Regeneration of tissue
• Improve scars, particularly acne scars (as the depressed areas are elevated with new tissue layers)
• Enhance periphery skin
• Shrink pore size
• Improve stretch marks

The number of treatments you choose depends on the results you want. It is completely safe to repeat collagen induction every 4-6 weeks. Keep in mind that we are stimulating your own collagen production, and that can take a few months to see full benefits from the fiberblast protein production.

For maximum results, we recommend beginning with 4-6 treatments, spaced every 4-6 weeks. If you have scars that you would like to reduce, we suggest 6-8 treatments. Maintenance based treatments every 12 weeks post help reduce the signs of aging and continually stimulate the collagen production as we age keeping your skin youthful.

Generally, the number of treatments will depend on your unique response to the procedure, how much damage you have to begin with and how dramatic you would like the results to be. Results are usually visible after the first treatment.

It is important to give your skin the right environment for healing 2-3 days after treatment. Avoid AHA’s (glycolic Acid) retinol, acidic or “active” ingredients. In addition, do not expose your skin to the sun. If you must be in the sun, use only a zinc-based sunblock.

You may experience dry skin after treatment, but this should dissipate within a few days.

We highly recommends the Rejuvapen post treatment kit to achieve maximum result.
