Microneedling with Vitamin Infusion
Microneedling with Vitamin Infusion
Microneedling, also known as ‘Collagen Induction Therapy’ is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance. Depending on skin quality and concern, on average a course of 3-6 sessions is recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However it can be completed as a one-off or maintenance treatment.
What does microneedling with vitamin infusion involve?
A typical appointment involves a consultation of checking medical history and forms, taking photos for your medical record, assessment of your skin care needs and selection of the vitamin solution, and if required application of numbing cream to sensitive areas. During the procedure, the vitamin solution is applied to the skin and a powered pen-like device equipped with sterile fine needles is passed over the skin to create controlled micro-injuries, allowing the vitamin solutions to reach deeper and work on a cellular level. This process encourages the skin’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, essential for youthful, smooth, and healthy-looking skin. The pen used by Nurse Stephanie Aesthetics is a Protonpen, which has adaptable speed and depth settings to ensure comfort and efficiency.
