Collagen Induction Therapy/MicroNeedling

 Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin.“The micro-injuries you create stimulates the body’s natural wound healing processes, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production, therefore reversing as well as preventing signs of aging.  Micro-Needling is a safe and effective treatment that delivers long-term visible results.

RECOMMENDED DOWNTIME?

The Benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy- Microneedling

Collagen Induction Therapy is a minimally- invasive non-surgical and non-ablative procedure for facial rejuvenation. A non-ablative procedure means that your epidermis (first layer of skin) remains preserved and intact. When you are comparing the effects and outcomes of both microneedling and laser therapy, the  benefits of microneedling include no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (pigmentation of the skin due to skin trauma), Laser, deep chemical peels and dermabrasion run the risk of ablating the skin and making it thinner. Microneedling  thickens the epidermis by creating micro channels, these channels stimulate the healing response in your skin creating new fresh collagen as well as help to absorb cosmecutical serums and creams making them 80% more effective.

• All areas of the body can be treated
• Creates less epidermal damage than laser resurfacing, aggressive chemical peels or plastic surgery. 
• More effective treatment with less pain than laser treatments
• Can treat ALL skin types and colour
• More cost effective than fraxel skin rejuvenation laser treatments
• Very Minimal recovery times compared to other advanced treatments
• Can be combined with our other skin rejuvenation therapies for enhanced results.

 Microneedling RF is the most innovative microneedling treatment available. RF stands for radio frequency. Together the microneedles work with the energy from the radio frequency to stimulate the collagen and hyaluronic acid within the affected area, and hydrating and tightening the skin. 

 Radiofrequency and microneedling were subsequently combined in an attempt to enhance the results that could be achieved with either one alone. The combination technology creates fractional radiofrequency coagulation of dermal collagen and results in immediate collagen contraction. It also stimulates a natural healing response which leads to the replacement of damaged connective tissue with new healthier skin.  

AREAS TO BE TREATED EFFECTVELY 

 This combination technology has also been shown to be successful in treating primary axillary hyperhidrosis10. After three sessions, there was a significant improvement in the hyperhidrosis disease severity scale on the treated side in comparison with the control side. 

 RF Microneedling is one of the most effective skin-tightening treatments to improve fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth and cheeks. RF Microneedling also reduces pore size, acne scars and stretch marks.
