What is microneedling?
Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy
(CIT), is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves puncturing the skin to stimulate collagen production. It involves the use of a microneedling device, a tool that creates micro injuries on the skin which then induces the skin’s natural healing process.
White blood cells, connective tissues, collagen, and elasting
populate the micro injuries created to reveal soft, smooth, and flawless skin.
What are Dermapen treatments?
Dermapen 4 is the breakthrough of the decade utilising the
most advanced needle cartridge innovation to vertically pierce the skin. Dermapen 4 glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other microneedling devices. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the skin. In turn our body’s natural response triggers a natural process of repair. The result is an increased production of collagen and elastin, resurfacing, retexurizing and overall skin renewal anywhere on the body, from hard to reach areas such as around the eyes,eyelids, earlobes, neck, lips, nose or larger areas of neck and décolleté, stomach and legs for stretch mark treatments.
