Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy , is an advanced procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These small channels activate the skin's self-healing capacity, resulting in increased production of collagen and elastin.

These proteins are essential for firm, youthful and healthy skin.

For which skin problems is microneedling suitable?

Microneedling can help with various skin problems, such as:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and other superficial scars
• Pigment spots and uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Stretch marks and pregnancy stretch marks
• Sagging skin

How does the treatment work?

1. Consultation :
   During an intake interview, your skin condition and treatment goals are discussed.

2. Preparation of the skin :
   The skin is thoroughly cleaned. If necessary, a numbing cream is applied to make the treatment comfortable.

3. The treatment :
   A special microneedling device with fine, sterile needles is moved over the skin. Microchannels are created in the skin, allowing serums and active ingredients to penetrate deeper.

4. Recovery and results :
   The skin immediately starts producing new collagen and elastin. This process results in improved skin structure and appearance.

What can you expect after the treatment?

• Immediately after treatment : The skin may be red and slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This effect usually disappears within 24-48 hours.
• Results : Within a few weeks you will see a visibly improved skin. For long lasting results multiple sessions are recommended.

How many treatments do you need?

Depending on your skin type and the problem you want to address, 3 to 6 treatments are usually necessary at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks.

Benefits of microneedling

• Increased collagen production for firmer skin
• Smoother skin texture
• Effective treatment for persistent skin problems, such as scars
• Short recovery time compared to more intensive treatments
• Suitable for all skin types

1. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
