MicroneedlingDC (also known as Skin Needling or Microneedle Therapy) was first developed by Dr. Desmond Fernandes, a prominent South African plastic surgeon. This microneedle therapy was designed to stimulate your skin's own cell regeneration and collagen production. This is a highly intense treatment that requires the attention of a professional skin care practitioner.
Micro Needling is also known as Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). It involves the use of a hand-held roller that has many fine pointed needles. The needles are between 1mm and 3mm long. They only penetrate the skin's topmost layer. This triggers the skin's natural healing process by making small punctures to the skin, which help create collagen and elasticin.
A small puncture wound stimulates collagen and breaks down some blood vessels under the skin's surface. The blood will clot and this stimulates the production and development of collagen and elasticin. These critical elements will allow your skin and pores look rejuvenated.
Although it may seem extreme, microneedle treatment is very effective. The outward trauma effect is minimal.
All skin types, colors and sensitive skin can benefit from microneedling. The result is thicker, smoother, more elastic skin. There will be less scarring (including surgical scarring and acne scarring), and there will be less scarring. You'll also see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. You may also experience less hair loss and stretch marks. You can have skin needling repeated every 6-8 week as long as your epidermis heals. Best of all, collagen can continue to form for up 12 months after one treatment.
