Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy works by encouraging your skin to produce more Collagen and generate new skin cells. Tiny pin pricks applied to the skin cause a micro trauma which triggers the skin’s healing mode, encouraging the Macrophage Cells to produce new collagen and elastin rich tissue. The new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture, firmer and brighter.
Collagen is a structural protein in our body that binds tissues and cells together. The “glue” that helps our body maintain its shape and structure. As we age our body produces less Collagen, which effects our skin, muscle tone and joints.
Micro needling can reduce fine lines and more deep set wrinkles, it can also reduce pigmentation and sun damage and can encourage hair growth.
Needling treatments such as Permanent Makeup and Scalp Micropigmentation can improve clients brows and hair begins to regrow and thicken due to the trauma to the skin caused by the treatment.
The trauma awakens the lazy ageing skin cells and forces them back to work!
Micro needling is mainly used on the face to improve the look of:
EPN is an abbreviation for Electroporation Needle. Electroporation is a technique in which an electrical field is applied to the skin’s cells in order to increase the permeability of the membranes, allowing topical products to be introduced into the cell more efficiently. Its application to the skin has been shown to significantly increase transdermal product delivery. Electroporation can be used alone or in combination with skin microneedling which enhances the range of products that can be delivered trans-dermally.
Taking skin rejuvenation treatments to the next level. EPN micro-needling is the world’s first aesthetic pen using two great technologies in one. Electroporation and Microneedling – Collagen Induction therapy.
The EPN Pen is medically approved, making this pen the only Microneedling device to combine dermal needling benefits whilst delivering advanced electroporation for superior results.
EPN Microneedling, (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is known for its incredible ability to stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin, delivering real results in overall skin rejuvenation. For those looking to improve the look of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth, Microneedling can offer a minimally invasive solution.
Like all cosmetic procedures, microneedling isn’t risk free. The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately after the procedure. You may also experience redness for a few days after.
You should always call your GP or 111 if you experience anything more serious such as:
Microneedling is not suitable for you if you:
Some conditions could restrict a Microneedling treatment but not necessarily stop the treatment from taking place:
Condition | Initial No. Treatments | Frequency | Maintenance |
Alopecia/Hair Loss | 4-8 | 1 treatment per week for 4-8 weeks | Repeat every 3-6 months |
Ageing – Lines/wrinkles, skin tone, texture | 3-6 | 1 treatment every 3-6 weeks during a 3-6 month period | Course of 3 treatments every 6-12 months (1 treatment per month) |
Cellulite | 3-6 | 1 treatment every 3-6 weeks during a 6 month period | Course of 3-6 treatments every 6-12 months (1 treatment per month) |
Hyperpigmentation | 3-6 | 1 treatment every 3-6 weeks during a 3-6 month period | Course of 3 treatments every 6-12 months (1 treatment per month) |
Scarring – Acne, Chicken Pox, Surgical scars/trauma | 6-8 | 1 treatment every 3-6 weeks during 6-8 month period or until desired effect is achieved | |
Stretch Marks | 3-6 | 1 treatment every 3-6 weeks during a 3-6 month period | Course of 3 treatments every 6-12 months (1 treatment every 3-6 weeks) |
Sun Damage | 3-6 | 1 treatment every 3-6 weeks during 3-6 month period | 3 treatments every 6-12 months (1 treatment every 3-6 weeks) |
After the skin is cleansed and analysed, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied for a minimum of 20/25 minutes for areas requiring more intense needling such as body treatments.
The process typically takes less than 30 minutes, and afterwards, your skin will look pink, similar to a sunburn. Most clients describe the sensation as a scratchy feeling, a lot compare it to the same pain as plucking, waxing or epilating hair.
The needling will help deliver any products directly into the Dermal layer of the skin, boosting the skins function and feeding the cells.
Dermalux LED Phototherapy treatment can be added which calms the skin, boosts healing and and awakens the cells.
Depending on the area of your face or body being treated and the type of device used, the procedure is well-tolerated and in some cases virtually pain free, most people only feel a mild prickling sensation.
Side effects or risks are minimal with this type of treatment and can include:
Recovery time can be as little as 48 hours and has minimal downtime options.
For some clients the skin may repair faster which will allow the redness to subside more or less straight away.
Dermalux Flex LED Can be rented to use at home to optimise the results
For skin areas that are exposed to light, you MUST wear an SPF protective cream for a minimum of 48 hours to protect from any sun damage to the skin. (I always recommended SPF as part of your ongoing skin care routine.) But NEVER apply a high street sunscreen directly after micro needling.
