SKIN ENHANCEMENT WITH MEDICAL DERMAPEN NEEDLING

What is Medical Needling?

Needling is a revolutionary method for stimulation of collagen production and elastin (connective tissue) and improving skin thickness, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T.).

Action on two fronts:

by activating the skin’s natural repair mechanism (neo-collaganese) which leads to a “wrinkle fill from the inside”.
by increasing a deeper inclusion of active skincare (vitamin A, C and E) through hundreds of microchannels.

Indications

Often used for face, cleavage and neck, but can also be used for other zones.

skin tightening and revitalization (fresher look)
fine skin wrinkles and lines
(Acné) scars
stretch marks
burn wounds

Comparison with non-medical needling: ADVANTAGES OF THE DERMAPEN NEEDLING

There are currently numerous needling rollers on the market but the medical Dermapen Needling offers following improvements:

the Medical Dermapen Needling can go 10 times deeper in the skin (to a depth of 2,5 mm) compared to the classic dermarollers which are, for example, offered in beauty salons, increasing the effectiveness.
this “medical” needling must be performed by a doctor. In the Global Care Clinic, this treatment is exclusively performed by plastic surgeon Dr. Nelissen.
the electrical powered system of the Dermapen ensures that the needles are driven into the skin perfectly perpendicular and always at the same depth. With a roller system, the skin is punctured after being moved, resulting in a different grade of efficiency.
some zones are easier accessible by the smaller surface of the Dermapen.

Treatment

This treatment is usually well tolerated because the skin is treated in advance with a numbing cream. Immediately after the treatment, an extra vitamin boost is locked in the skin, followed by medical LED-light therapy (both included in the price) which stimulates the production of collagen and promotes the recovery.

How many treatments are recommended?

Multiple sessions are recommended in order to obtain optimal results ranging from a minimum of 3 to 6/10 sessions, each with a 2 to 4 weeks interval. Repeating the procedure, will give a superimposed effect and the skin will also show less redness in following treatments.

Downtime

The treated skin looks temporarily (1 to 2 days) red (like a sunburn) and slightly swollen but this gradually pulls away (sometimes already the next day). The redness can however be perfectly concealed with special mineral make up by Jane Iredale. If desired, this makeup can be put on immediately after treatment (included in the price of the treatment) so that the patient can continue his/her normal social life.

Preparation and follow-up treatment

For each patient a preparation and follow-up treatment with skincare products (vitamins A, C and E) of Dr. Baumann is created. It is strongly recommended to prepare the skin for some time with the home roller and with aforementioned skincare. Also after the needling, the neo-collaganese will be further stimulated when using custom skincare.

Comparison with other treatments

Because the skin surface is not damaged, but the skin quality improves, Needling can be repeated unlimitedly, contrary to the usually more expensive treatments such as ablative laser treatments, dermabrasion and chemical peeling.
Needling also scores much higher in the field of anti-aging results than Mesotherapy.
Recent studies have confirmed that several sessions of Medical Needling can dramatically improve the healing and the appearance of the scar. In Germany, Medical Needling is already refundable in certain cases of burns.
