Micro-needling is a procedure designed to enhance and improve skin complexion via activationof the skin’s natural regenerative processes which stimulates collagen synthesis. Very tinyneedles are used to penetrate the top layer of the skin vertically causing localized and controlleddamage without substantially affecting the structure of the epidermis. The creation of controlled wounds in the skin initiates the regeneration of skin cells via a natural process of healing.

The gentle stimulus provided by micro-needling is considered far more effective than many other more invasive and expensive skincare treatments. It is a quick & easy technique with little downtime. After a course of treatments, skin structure is visibly revitalized, rejuvenated,
replenished, and regenerated.

Skin needling can be used to treat a range of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles, Uneven skin tone, Some scars, such as those caused by acne, Sunspots, Reduced skin laxity.

Before starting your treatment, we will apply a topical anesthetic to your skin to ensure that youdon’t feel any pain or discomfort.

You can expect to notice a more even skin tone and a generally more youthful appearance afterthe procedure. You should begin to see the results of your treatment within a few weeks. We do recommend that you come in for multiple treatments for optimal results. For best results, we recommend three to five Dermapen treatments. These should ideally be spaced four to six
weeks apart. Once you have completed a series, your results will last up to 18 months. After this, we recommend single maintenance sessions every six to 12 months.

Micro-needling with NCTF treatment

• Skin Needling (Microneedling): This technique involves using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which improves skin texture and firmness.
• NCTF: NCTF is a specific solution used in conjunction with microneedling. It’s a blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients designed to nourish and rejuvenate the skin. It helps enhance hydration, improve skin elasticity, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Procedure

1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
2. Microneedling: A microneedling device is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
3. Application of NCTF: During or immediately after the needling process, the NCTF solution is applied to the skin. The micro-channels created by the needles allow for better absorption of the solution into the deeper layers of the skin.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, there may be some redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days.

Benefits

• Improved Skin Texture: Enhances the smoothness and overall texture of the skin.
• Increased Hydration: The hyaluronic acid in NCTF provides deep hydration.
• Reduced Fine Lines: Stimulates collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Even Skin Tone: Helps improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation issues.

Results

• Initial Effects: Some improvement can be seen immediately, but full results develop gradually over a few weeks as collagen production increases.
• Maintenance: To maintain results, a series of treatments is often recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart.

Risks and Considerations

• Temporary Redness and Swelling: These are common and usually resolve within a few days.
• Minor Discomfort: Some mild discomfort or sensitivity can occur during and after the procedure.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: It’s important to protect your skin from sun exposure immediately after treatment.

Overall, skin needling with NCTF is a popular option for those looking to improve skin quality and achieve a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
