MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is an aesthetic treatment that improves the texture and appearance of the skin.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
+ 400% production elastin + collagen !
It involves using a Dermapen, a device equipped with tiny needles that create micro-wounds in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. This healing process promotes the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin. Microneedling treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and enlarged pores and can be used on a variety of areas including the face, neck and décolleté.
The Benefits of microneedling
Here’s a list of the benefits of microneedling treatment:
1- Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth out uneven skin texture and improve overall skin tone, making it appear more youthful and radiant.
2- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By promoting collagen and elastin production, microneedling can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
3- Minimizes Pore Size
Microneedling helps to tighten the skin and refine pore size, leading to smoother, more even-looking skin.
4- Improves Skin Elasticity
The collagen stimulation from microneedling can improve skin firmness and elasticity, leading to a more lifted and toned appearance.
5- Helps with Acne Scars
Microneedling is effective in treating acne scars by breaking down scar tissue and promoting the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
6- Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots
It can lighten hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma by encouraging skin turnover and promoting a more even skin tone.
7- Enhances Product Absorption
The micro-channels created by microneedling allow skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness and results.
8- Improves Skin Hydration
Microneedling can boost the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to a more hydrated and plump appearance.
9- Stimulates Hair Growth (for Scalp Treatments)
Microneedling on the scalp can stimulate hair follicles, improving blood circulation and promoting hair growth, particularly for people dealing with thinning hair or alopecia.
10- Safe for Most Skin Types• Benefit
Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for most skin types and tones, with minimal risk of pigmentation changes or scarring.

STEPS OF A MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
SKIN EVALUATION
During the consultation, we assess your skin’s condition to understand your specific needs and goals. This allows us to tailor the microneedling treatment to suit your skin type and concerns.
SKIN PREPARATION
Before the procedure begins, we thoroughly cleanse and prepare your skin to ensure a smooth and comfortable treatment. This step helps to minimize any risk of irritation and enhances the results.
PRODUCT AND NEEDLES SELECTION
Based on your skin’s needs, we select the ideal serums or products and adjust the needle depth accordingly. This ensures optimal results, targeting the appropriate layers of your skin for maximum effectiveness.
PEN APPLICATION
Using the Dr.Pen device, tiny micro-needles are gently applied to your skin. This stimulates collagen production, improves texture, and helps reduce signs of aging or skin imperfections for a smoother, more radiant appearance.

risks and contraindications (and how to avoid it)
While hyluronic acid is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified professional, there are some potential risks and side effects that patients should be aware of before undergoing treatment. These include:​​​​​​
Skin Irritation and Redness: Redness and irritation are common right after the procedure, as the skin reacts to the tiny micro-injuries.
Swelling: Swelling can occur, especially in areas with more sensitive skin, such as around the eyes.
Infection: If proper aftercare is not followed or the procedure is performed in a non-sterile environment, there’s a risk of infection.
Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: Rarely, microneedling can lead to either darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation) of the skin, especially in individuals with darker skin tones.
Scarring: Although rare, microneedling can lead to scarring, especially if the procedure is not performed properly.
Post-Procedure Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience increased skin sensitivity or discomfort following the treatment.
This is usually temporary and should subside within a few hours to a day. To reduce irritation, avoid sun exposure and use soothing creams recommended by your practitioner.
Apply a cold compress to the treated area immediately after the procedure. Avoid touching or rubbing the skin, and follow aftercare guidelines provided by your practitioner.
Ensure the procedure is done in a clean, professional, and sterile environment. Follow all aftercare instructions, including keeping the treated area clean and avoiding touching it with unwashed hands.
Avoid sun exposure before and after the treatment, and use sunscreen diligently. Ensure you follow aftercare instructions and avoid using harsh products post-treatment that could irritate the skin.
Use gentle skincare products after treatment and avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area. It’s important to use hydrating, calming products to help with sensitivity and healing.
Allergic Reaction: In rare cases, you may have an allergic reaction to the topical numbing cream or other products used during the procedure.
Inform your practitioner of any known allergies before the treatment. If you have a history of allergic reactions to skincare products, a patch test can be done beforehand.
potential risks
avoid or minimize
Choose an experienced practitioner who uses the right needle depth for your skin type and concern. Follow aftercare instructions to avoid infection or other complications that could lead to scarring.
Unwanted Results (e.g., uneven texture or pigmentation): There’s a chance of uneven results, such as patches of skin texture or pigmentation changes.
Ensure that the procedure is performed by a skilled, licensed professional who understands your skin’s needs. Follow up with your practitioner if you notice any unusual reactions or uneven healing.
Nerve Damage (Rare): In very rare cases, if the needles are inserted too deeply, nerve damage can occur, leading to numbness or tingling.
Always choose a trained and experienced practitioner who uses appropriate needle depths for your skin and concerns.
It is essential to consult with a certified practitioner who has experience with Microneedling to minimize these risks. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider promptly.
microneedling contraindications
-
Active Skin Infections: Microneedling should not be performed on skin with active infections such as herpes simplex, fungal infections, or bacterial skin infections. The procedure could exacerbate the infection or spread it to other areas.
-
Severe Acne or Cystic Acne: Active, severe acne or cystic acne can be irritated by microneedling, leading to further inflammation, infection, or scarring.
-
Eczema, Psoriasis, or Other Chronic Skin Conditions: Conditions like eczema or psoriasis can cause the skin to be overly sensitive or inflamed, making microneedling unsuitable in areas affected by these conditions.
-
Keloid Scarring: If you have a history of keloid scars or hypertrophic scarring, microneedling may cause abnormal scarring or worsen existing scars.
-
Uncontrolled Diabetes: People with uncontrolled diabetes may have poor healing ability, increasing the risk of complications, such as infection or delayed wound healing, from microneedling.
​
-
Blood Clotting Disorders: Individuals with blood clotting disorders, such as hemophilia, or those on blood-thinning medications, may face increased risks of bruising or bleeding during the microneedling procedure.

-
Recent Chemical Peels or Laser Treatments: If you’ve recently had chemical peels or laser treatments, your skin may be too sensitive for microneedling. It’s recommended to wait until your skin has fully recovered before the procedure.
-
Open Wounds or Cuts: Microneedling should not be performed on areas with open wounds or cuts to prevent further damage, infection, or complications.
-
Autoimmune Diseases: Individuals with autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, may have compromised skin healing, making microneedling unsuitable.

-
Recent Botox or Dermal Filler Injections: It’s advised to wait at least two weeks after receiving Botox or dermal fillers before undergoing microneedling to avoid affecting the results of those treatments.
