Micro needling

Micro needling is a cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy.

The procedure itself usually takes around 30 minutes depending on how big the area is. Most people need 4-6 treatments to see a difference.

Prior to starting the procedure you’ll get a numbing cream smoothed onto your face so you can’t feel the needle pricks. Then the person doing the microneedling will move a pen-shaped or rolling tool with tiny needles around your face. The needles make small cuts in your skin, which causes a bit of bleeding. Your doctor may spread a cream or serum on your face after that.

Our practice uses  the MDpen for your micro needling procedure.

The advantage of using MDPen is that it is a MicroNeedling device that moves at speeds up to 17,500 RPM creating 15,000 micro channels per square inch for maximum coverage and a more complete treatment.

Microneedling may help with issues like:

    • Acne
    • Hair loss (also called alopecia)
    • Dark spots or patches on your skin (hyperpigmentation)
    • Large pores
    • Reduced skin elasticity
    • Reduce striae or stretch marks
