WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, also known as Fractional Collagen Induction Therapy, is a remarkable, non-laser, non-surgical treatment that causes skin to stimulate collagen production and fresh, new tissue. Skin tightens; wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, and hyperpigmentation significantly diminish; pores become finer; and the overall health and circulation of the skin is improved.
HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?
At Elite Medicine and Aesthetic Institute, we use Rejuvapen as our Microneedling Device. Rejuvapen utilizes precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the top layers of the skin. As a result the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal. Adjustable needle length from .2mm to 2.5mm allows customized treatments from skin freshening to deep scar repair anywhere on the body. Skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become firmer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.
After the initial treatment, patients often notice that their skin has a healthy pink glow and that fine lines are diminished. Skin naturally takes roughly four weeks to synthesize new collagen, but it is not until about four months that patients can see the full effect of Rejuvapen treatments. It is suggested that patients receive three to four treatments, spaced at least two weeks apart.
Rejuvapen is often combined with infusion of anti-aging serums under the skin to enhance the benefits with virtually no pain or downtime. The most natural anti-aging serum often infused with microneedling is platelet rich plasma (PRP).
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets in the blood that are crucial to wound healing. When used for skin rejuvenation in combination with Rejuvapen, PRP releases growth factors into the skin to expedite the body's own repair process and further stimulate new collagen and elastin.
