There are three phases to the wound-repair process:
- Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
- Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
Microneedling can also be combined with meso-therapeutic solutions such as vitamins, pigment stabilizers, and proteins called growth factors. These solutions are customized for superior function of skin cell regeneration while addressing specific conditions such as age spots, intercellular melasma, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, laser and non-laser related pigmentation problems, and sun damage. This skin rejuvenating procedure is designed to give your skin a youthful, brighter, and refreshed look after the procedure is completed. The skin will also respond to the micro-injury channels and it will begin to create new collagen and elastin that skin needs in order to look youthful and younger.

FAQ’s
What is Medical Micro-Needling?
It is a skin treatment procedure that involves an electric skin-needling device. The device contains 12 very fine needles. It is used during micro-needling procedures to break down old scar tissue and push skin cell generation. Cell production leads to the creation of new layers of elastin and collagen fiber and leads to improved blood flow in the skin.
How does Medical Micro-Needling work?
The device slides along the skin and penetrates upper layers of the skin to a depth of up to 2mm to create tiny needle wounds. This signals the body to respond by producing collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin becomes fuller, thus reducing the appearance of scars, lines, and wrinkles.
What are the benefits of Medical Micro-Needling?
Some of the known benefits of Medical Microneedling include: greatly improves topical cream effectiveness and penetration, stimulates blood circulation and collagen production, needles are non-allergenic, cost effective compared to other resurfacing procedures, works on all skin types, and can treat the scalp, face, and body, including skin around the eyes, mouth and neck.
What effects does the Medical Micro-Needling have on the skin?
Medical microneedling is known to improve many aspects of the skin including, but not limited to: improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, regenerates tissue, improves the appearance of scars, reduces the size of pores, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks
Can Micro-Needling be performed on any skin color?
Medical Micro-needling is safe to use on all skin types and colors without risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
Is Medical Micro-Needling painful?
Prior to the treatment, numbing cream can be applied to minimize pain that is felt during the procedure.
How many treatments do I need and how often can Medical Micro Micro-Needling procedures be repeated?
Micro-needling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks as needed. Collagen induction requires at least 3 treatments, while scar reduction requires between 3 and 6 treatment. 4 to 6 weeks should pass between one treatment and the next, and the number of treatments needed depends on individual cases.
