Microneedling is a relatively new procedure for the aesthetic treatment of the skin. It is also called collagen induction therapy. Microneedling does not remove any layers of skin, as is the case with micro-dermabrasion or laser treatment. Only the body’s own regeneration is stimulated. Medical microneedling is only carried out at the BellaDerma specialist centre with the highly developed DermaPen.
Whether skin has been damaged by the sun, burn or acne scars are present or stretch marks, wrinkles or hyperpigmentation are to be treated: Microneedling with the DermaPen performs well in all these areas. The starting point for this gentle new technique is the knowledge of the average skin thickness of 1.5 millimetres. The 162 wafer-thin needles used in microneedling with the Dermapen are aligned accordingly.
In the past, when needling with a dermaroller or stamp, one had to specify a needle length. Today, with the micro-needling pen, the needle length can be individually adjusted for all treatment areas (depth adjustment from 0.25-2.5 mm) and you can also work with different speed levels.
Microneedling with the Dermapen has the following advantages over the Dermaroller:
Clinical studies prove that in people with signs of ageing, after just 5 treatments, the epidermis has become 40% thicker and the scars 60% smoother.
Micro-needling with the Dermapen is ideal for treating the following skin problems:
If desired, a local anaesthetic can be applied before the microneedling. However, the treatment is not very painful. Working with the DermaPen causes microscopically small injuries that stimulate the formation and storage of collagen and elastin by the human body. As a result, wrinkles disappear and the skin visibly rejuvenates.
According to scientific findings and clinical studies, microneedling should be performed around two to three times, with a waiting period of six to eight words between each procedure. Since it is not an ablative technique like peeling, for example, the treatment can be performed several times without any problems. Depending on the skin structure and the client’s wishes, we usually combine two microneedling treatments with two skinbooster treatments.
There are almost no known side effects from microneedling with the DermaPen. Short-term redness or swelling are possible. It is important that no intensive UVA/B radiation is used for about a week after the treatment. In addition, the microneedles contain about eight percent nickel, which occasionally causes allergic reactions. Accordingly, nickel allergies should be ruled out in advance of any treatment.
At the BellaDerma specialist centre we usually combine two microneedling treatments with two skin booster treatments. However, this procedure can vary depending on the individual skin structure and the patient’s wishes. Are you interested in microneedling in Berlin?
