we use the SkinPen® microneedling device, which is Health Canada approved for the treatment of melasma, acne scars, and surgical scars. The tip of the SkinPen® contains many small needles, which are carefully used to puncture thousands of microchannels into the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, leading to an increase in the production of elastin and collagen, two of the most crucial proteins in the skin. As the body repairs the punctures, it also produces new, healthy skin cells. The new skin cells replace older skin cells that have experienced damage from trauma, acne, sun exposure, or aging.
The treatment is minimally invasive, and the fine needles are specifically designed to create as little cell damage as possible. This allows your skin to experience the rejuvenating effects of new cell production without harming the overall structure of the skin.
After a few treatments, the skin is visibly smoother in both tone and texture. The SkinPen® microneedling device has been rigorously tested for safety and clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles of the neck and acne scars. The treatment is also effective for facial fine lines and wrinkles, hair growth stimulation, skin tightening, and stretch marks.
Microneedling treatments can be augmented with platelet-rich plasma to produce even more dramatic results. The natural healing properties of our body’s platelets can be harnessed in PRP, and combined with microneedling treatments to increase cell renewal. Microneedling can also be augmented with NCTF® Boost, an innovative hyaluronic acid injectable that nourishes the skin and provides the ideal environment for skin rejuvenation.
