RENEW YOUR SKIN
HOW DOES IT WORK?
In Microneedling we use a Handheld Pen which is powered either by an electrical power cable or a built-in rechargeable battery. A cartridge is inserted - either a 9, 12, 36 or 42 prong microscopically thin needles which are single use, disposable cartridges. The machine controls the needles depth and speed that the needles are puncturing the skin.
The needles oscillate up and down, puncturing the skin at a rate of close to 20,000 and 10,000 revolutions per minute, depending on the model of the machine used.
The needles create tiny puncture holes in the epidermis, causing micro-trauma. The quicker the needles oscillate, the less drag you will have on the surface of the skin.
Once the epidermis has been wounded the immune system will rush to respond and repair the area. In doing so it reproduces new healthy collagen naturally.
What ever product you use on the open punctured epidermis after the treatment, will absorb into the dermal layer. We use serums to suit the skin we are treating to gain excellent results.
DOES IT HURT?
The short answer would be NO. We use a good topical epidermal anaesthetic. We wrap the area to make sure the anaesthetic is more effective and the client literally feels nothing.
DERMA ROLLER VERSES THE MICRONEEDLING PEN
Dermal Rollers only have one needle length and it cannot be adjusted during the treatments for different areas. The cost of the derma roller is higher, as you have to purchase a hole roller or roller head instead of a small, cheaper cartridge.
The derma roller has a large head and cannot fit in small areas unlike the Microneedling Pen tips that have a much smaller surface area so those small, intricate areas are easy to get into.
The Dermal Roller needles tear little incisions into the skin instead of puncturing little straight holes in the skin like the Microneedling Pen.
The Microneedling Pen is easier to operate and less taxing on the operator as the machine does all the work. It simply has to be guided across the skin lightly. The cartridges are easy to install and the needle depth is easy to adjust in the areas that are thinner and more sensitive, making it easy to adjust the treatment to suit your clients needs.
The most important difference between Dermal Roller and the Microneedling Pen is the micro-punctures per minute. The Dermal Roller make 3000 and 4000 holes per minute and the Microneedling Pen make between 20,000 and 10,000 puncture holes per minute, depending on the model Microneedling Pen used.
