Microneedling Treatment

Micronedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that stimulate’s the skin’s natural healing process to remodel the skin. Through a creation of these intentional micro traumas, the production of collagen and elastin are significantly enhanced while absorption of products in increased up to 2000%. The overall effect is a more even tone that appears taut and glowing.

The number of treatments needed to see results varies based on specific skin care goals. Starting in our late 20’s and 30’s, collagen production decreases 1% per year. By our 40’s, collagen production is significantly diminished which results in sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and dehydration. Most see a benefit with 3 monthly treatments depending on desired result and condition of the skin, more treatments may be needed. Results can be dramatic and long lasting as your skin will begin to produce it’s own collagen.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling Therapy also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), and percutaneous (through the skin) Collagen Induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of the MD Needle Pen by TOMA Skin Therapies.

The mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury at a specific depth. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body’s natural healing process to fill these micro-wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis. In addition, new capillaries are formed for improved blood supply.

With Microneedling, the top layer of the skin is parted without being damaged, leaving the skin intact.  It does not “burn” your skin like peels or more invasive lasers. The needle penetration depth can be adjusted from 0.25mm to 2.50mm into the skin depending on the area of the body and the skin condition being treated. Using skin needling consistently will trigger the body’s repair process until the desired level of skin rejuvenation is achieved.

Microneedling results in the production of new collagen and elastin, improvement in skin tone and texture, firmness as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
