Microneedling is a marginally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment, and it helps minimize the signs of aging. In addition, it is a very safe procedure. It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound-healing process while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. Both found naturally in the skin, collagen, and elastin help give skin a healthy glow and a more youthful appearance. Collagen is the scaffolding or structure of your skin and renewing collagen helps skin. The microchannels created also allow the skin to better absorb topical creams, gels, and serums.
The DP4 device can treat any area on the body, including the face, hands, arms, abdomen, etc. It works on both fine lines and wrinkles as well as deeper wrinkles and scars, though these conditions may require additional treatment sessions.
Common conditions treated by the DP4 device include:
Acne
Acne scarring
Trauma scarring
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Stretch marks
Tired, dull skin
Based on your needs, the treatment typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour. To keep you comfortable during the treatment, your provider can apply a topical anesthetic before the treatment.
The most dramatic results with the DP4 device take place in about four to six weeks after treatment, and most people only need one or two sessions. The side effects include mild swelling and redness for two to four days, but some people heal completely in 24 hours.
Use a skincare regimen advised by your provider to give your skin the care and nutrients it needs for healing and restoration after microneedling.
Automated Microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles. The DP4 device also creates superficial micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively into the skin.
The benefits of microneedling are a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Microneedling also has a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation as well as on hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks and generally creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin.
The DP4 device can be used on all parts of the body: Face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.
The DP4 device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is re-built with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
The feeling associated with the treatment is similar to light sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating needle tip reduces discomfort while the applied hydrating gel also makes the treatment more tolerable.
