innopen micropen
Collagen Induction Therapy, also known as Medical Skin Needling, Micro-Needling or Micropen, is a new minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as scars on the face and body. The treatment uses tiny needles or micro-needles on a medical-grade device that is moved over the skin to create tiny, evenly spaced puncture wounds on the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural collagen production by generating a wound healing response. The Micropen used is much like a fine tattooing needle which causes minimal trauma when creating the microscopic punctures in the skin. However, topical anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort. By damaging the skin, in a safe way, you encourage the body to produce new collagen and elastin, which helps it thicken and ‘plump up’. The procedure can be performed on the face and body.
Am I a Candidate?
Collagen Induction Therapy is suitable for all skin types, and ideal candidates are those who wish to improve skin laxity, smooth lines and wrinkles, slow the onset of the aging process or improve the appearance of scarring. Micro-needling is a great anti-aging treatment to keep your skin looking its best!
