Micro-needling (Exceed Pen)

This technique repeatedly applies an electric or battery-operated instrument containing multiple small, thin, sharp needles to the skin—isn’t as painful as it sounds. The needles cause tiny injuries that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Therapeutic substances, such as hyaluronic acid or ascorbic acid, can be applied before or after needling so the substance penetrates deeply. This procedure is relatively risk-free and inexpensive.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment helps to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Microneedling is mostly used on the face and may treat various scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and large pores.

Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin from the insertion of very fine short needles. The most popular (and cost-effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller, comprises micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters.

Microneedling isn’t invasive like plastic surgery, so the recovery time is minimal. and most people require very little downtime, if any at all.

You may notice a little skin irritation and redness within the first few days following the procedure. This is a natural response to the small “injuries” made by the needles in your skin.

You can go back to work or school after the procedure if you’re comfortable. Some people apply camouflaging makeup during the first few days as the redness dissipates.

Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is a must.

After microneedling, your skin works fairly quickly to rejuvenate new tissue. In theory, you should see results within a couple of weeks.

To maintain the results of your treatment, you’ll need multiple sessions and perhaps other complementing treatments. We will advise you on the best plan of action based on your individual goals.
