Automated Microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars, and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this 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. Eclipse Micropen™ also creates superficial micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams, and serums to be absorbed more effectively into the skin.
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to improve overall appearance of your skin. Unlike cosmetic surgery, which often requires downtime, microneedling is designed to be fast and effective, leaving you with noticeable results without the downtime. There are several options available for the micropen treatment.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid microneedles deliver moisturizing components directly, deep into the skin’s outer layer. The first of its kind, this innovative technology is a savior for mature skin. A powerful humectant (moisture-binding ingredient) that keeps skin plump, hydrated, and young-looking. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (carbohydrate) in the human body.
PRP (Platelet- Rich Plasma)
PRP is a high concentration of platelets surrounded in its own plasma. A small amount of blood is drawn and the red cells are isolated from the platelet-rich plasma. EGF ( Epidermal Growth Factor) plays a significant role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation during the remodeling phase. Stimulates keratinocyte and fibroblast production. There is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection.
