Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy
When it comes to minimally invasive treatments, Microneedling Collagen Induction Therapy with the Dermaroller ® is clinically proven and is perhaps the most successful treatment available to improve the appearance of wrinkles, loss of skin volume, and crepey skin. The Dermaroller ® microneedling treatment is even proven to minimize scars and stretch marks. Dermaroller ® therapy triggers the body's spontaneous healing process, stimulating cell proliferation and causing the formation of new collagen. This results in a thicker, more supple, cellular matrix which translates into visibly younger looking skin.
How it works
The Dermaroller ® causes minimally invasive precision micro-injuries of the epidermis and dermis, without causing open wounds or ablative damage. The puncturing channels close after a short time and these micro-injuries trigger the body's wound healing cascade, which induces an increased collagen production in the treated skin. Dermaroller ® triggers the construction of new tissue by stimulating healthy cell regeneration in precision-targeted areas that show the signs of aging. It effectively reduces wrinkles, tightens and thickens the skin, and - perhaps most impressively - fills and smooths scars.
What to expect during the treatment?
A topical anesthetic cream is applied for your comfort and your skin is cleansed thoroughly to prepare for the treatment. The E-dermastamp is passed over the entire treatment area15-20 times. An even flushing of the skin is an indication of a proper treatment.
After the treatment
The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 24 hours on average. In order to reduce visible redness, we recommend healing minerals, peptides and hyaluronic acid after the procedure, and to protect the skin with zinc based sun screen. We also recommend the use of mineral makeup to help with the healing.
