Skin
needling or Collagen Induction Therapy is performed using either
a digital or rotary device or a skin roller. The skin roller causes
multiple tiny pin point puncture wounds to the dermis and is effective
for smaller lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and skin sagging. The
digital device is most often used in the deeper lines, wrinkles
or scars to further stimulate collagen production and smoothing
of the skin. These procedures can be thought of as a "controlled
injury to the skin" which stimulates the production of new collagen
and elastin, promoting rejuvenation of the skin for a smoother
more youthful appearance. There is no permanent damage and recovery
time is minimal. Most patients return to their normal activities
within 24 to 48
hours. Treatments are cumulative and significant results can be
seen in 6 to 8 weeks with initial results evident at 1 week.
Areas
of Treatment:
Skin needling can treat sensitive areas that other treatments (ie.
lasers & chemical peels) have to avoid such as below the eyes,
the neck and the back of the hands. The entire body can be treated
using
skin
needling
and many find their stretch marks and cellulite can benefit from
the treatments as well. This procedure has also been found to be
an effective alternative treatment for hair loss.
