Traditionally, vitamin- mineral complexes used to have to be administered by a registered nurse or doctor using multiple tiny injections around the face with a syringe. In a Beauty Booster treatment (performed by an aesthetician), the complex is added to the usual hyaluronic acid gliding medium, and DermaPenned into the skin. Dermapen3™ delivers a controlled injury to the dermis using a rapidly operating cartridge of 12 stainless steel needles, so thousands more micro- channels are made in the skin, which gives this nutritious complex the chance to be much more fully and evenly distributed. The body responds by sending a cascade of collagen and elastin fibres to heal and repair the injured area; remodeling and redensifying the skin over a course of 4 to 6 weeks.
Microneedling is effective at:
- improving the colour and texture of stretchmarks
- softening and improving the appearance of wrinkles,
- smoothing out lines around the mouth area,
- treating uneven pigmentation of the skin,
- reducing the colour and appearance of acne and surgical scar
Based on the area targeted for treatment, we generally recommend a course of sessions for best and lasting results.
- Is the treatment painful?
- How many treatments are required?
- What can I expect after the treatment?
Precautions
- Anyone using blood thinning medications such as Warfarin, large amounts of aspirin / omega oils, should first consult with their doctor before undergoing Dermapen treatment.
- Anyone with a history of or a current breakout of cold sores should get a prescription of Valtrex for use before, during and after treatment.
- Anyone with reduced blood clotting ability/haemophilia should NOT have this treatment.
