How does exceed microneeding remodel your skin?
Our medical-grade device that utilizes Collagen Induction Therapy. It creates controlled micro channels at specifically targeted depths that activate your body’s natural skin-healing power without affecting or scratching the epidermis. This initiates the release of natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue remodelling, returning your skin to a healthier looking and youthful appearance without the formation of scarring.
Collagen and elastin are the essential protein fibers in the skin that gives it support, firmness and elasticity. As we age, those fibers break down leading to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and large pores.
Microneedling is a procedure designed to enhance and improve the complexion, activating the body’s natural regenerative processes to stimulate skins own collagen synthesis. Very tiny needles are used to penetrate the top layer of the skin with a unique tilting needle plate.
Exceed can treat:
Scars (including acne scars)
Wrinkles and sagging skin
Pigment disorders
Sun damage
Visible pores
Stretch marks
Cellulite
During your 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. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels, which allow topical serums and creams to be absorbed more effectively into the skin.
There are three phases involved in the wound-healing process:
Phase 1:
The sterile tip generates measured and depth controlled microchannels to the skin that trigger your immune system to cleanse the new wound, prompting your skin to remove debris, increase blood flow and release growth factors that begin to create new tissue.
Phase 2:
The skin then starts to rebuild the wound with new cells, by releasing Growth Factors, Glycoproteins and Collagen III and develops a new network of blood vessels.
Phase 3:
At this stage skin tissue remodelling takes place with the replacement of Collagen III with Collagen I (springy, elastic and form even texture). The wound is then replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
Frequently asked questions
CAN MICRONEEDLING BE PAINFUL?
Anaesthetic cream is used in combination with a peeling scrub to ensure treatment feels as pleasant as possible. Treatment is painless; the needle only penetrates the very top layer of skin, consisting mostly of dead skin cells.
HOW LONG BEFORE I SEE RESULTS?
Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4 to 6 treatments. Your skin will continue to improve, with results still visible over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, when combined with the recommended post treatment care.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE A MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?
For best results it is recommended patients undergo 4-6 treatments depending on the indication and with intervals of 4-8 weeks. After this, annual refresher treatments to maintain results should suffice. Please consult with your practitioner for more information.
