Medical Microneedling – Products recommedations

 Medical needling  can be performed with various types of needling machines. The disposable needle size that you can use are 0.5mm, 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm. The microneedling pen starts rotating against the skin 4,000 to 6,000 rotations per minute. Micro injuries are very tiny, and will recover much faster the micro roller.

Product Recommendation:

Medical needling with a use of serums promotes cell to cell communication and most helps with:

  • Wrinkles( healing promotes collagen production, which helps fill in and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines)
  • Brown Spots or hyperpigmentation ( help to reduce this hyper-pigmentation by breaking up the pigment below the skin surface. … This hyperpigmentation is not to deep for microneedling but it will take more treatments to resolve.
  • Stretch marks ( micro-injuries from microneedling stimulate the growth of collagen, the scaffolding under the skin, which then improves the appearance of some scars and wrinkles.
  • Scars ( new collagen that’s formed will help smooth out your skin’s appearance, helping to fill in fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
  • Hair restoration

It is important to know that one session is not enough to heal all the issues stated above.
