About Microneedling
The Rejuvapen™ device utilizes Microneedling, or Fractional Collagen Induction Therapy, as a medical grade, state of the art procedure available through skincare professionals only. This procedure shifts the skin's natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin to repair these micro-perforations. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal from the inside out. Your skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become finer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.
The concept of Microneedling has been around for a while and is based upon the skins ability to naturally repair itself when injured. Immediately following an injury, our skin begins the process of dissolving tissue damage and replacing it with new cells. Microneedling allows for controlled stimulation of the skins self-repair
Fractional Collagen Induction Therapy Can Be Used On:
- Fine lines and wrinkle reduction for face, eyes and neck
- Surgical Scars: Smooth and re-pigment scar tissue
- Hypertrophic Scars: Smooth and flatten scar tissue
- Stretch Marks: Smooth, tighten, and reduce redness in the skin
- Acne Scars and Depressed Scars: Smooth and fill in depressed areas of damaged skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- UV Damage
- Rosacea
The Process
The process is painless, as an anesthetic cream will be applied to the skin prior to the procedure. The hand held device utilizes 9 precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the epidermis and the top layer of the dermis. It will penetrate through the skin but does not harm it. During the procedure, a serum of 99% growth factors will be applied to the skin, allowing for maximum penetration and results. These growth factors help the skin be firmer, regain elasticity, aid in repairing and stimulating new collagen.
The phases of skin remodeling are:
- Inflammation - Begins after injury
- Inflammatory Response - Tissue proliferation and growth factors stimulate healthy tissue formation.
- Tissue Formation - Actual remodeling of skin tissue continues up to 1-year.
The Benefits
- It does not damage the skin. It leaves the epidermis - the protective layer of our skin - intact.
