What is Microneedling?
Microneedling involves creating microscopic holes in the skin using the cordless Eclipse MicroPen™ device. These tiny punctures draw no blood, are invisible to the naked eye, and stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
As the Eclipse MicroPen™ is moved across treated areas, hundreds of microchannels are created in the skin every few seconds. This process is known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), and it stimulates the production of new collagen – the main structural protein in the skin. CIT also results in new elastin, creating tighter, smoother skin.
Although a visible glow is often observed in the skin immediately following microneedling treatment, improvements will be gradual and full results will be visible in a matter of weeks.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling treatments with the Eclipse MicroPen™ can treat several skin imperfections, including:
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Tone and textural abnormalities
- Acne scarring
- Hyperpigmentation
- Stretch marks
- Scars
What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
In addition to resurfacing and revitalizing the skin, microneedling with the Eclipse MicroPen™ has several other benefits:
- When compared to other dermal rollers, the MicroPen™ uses sterile, single-use needle tips for increased patient safety.
- The MicroPen™ is safe for all skin types and features the Turbo Safety Needle for predictable, reliable results.
- Utilizing a high-speed motor, the MicroPen™ is more efficient than other microneedling devices, allowing faster treatment times
- Microneedling is a comfortable, well-tolerated treatment akin to a mild sandpaper-like sensation on the skin
- The depth of penetration is customizable to the different skin needs of each individual patient
Are There Any Side Effects?
Microneedling treatment with the Eclipse MicroPen™ does not visibly damage the skin and it is safe for use on most skin conditions, although patients often have a slightly flushed or red appearance for a few days afterward. During your consultation, Dr. Riehm will evaluate your skin condition and help you determine whether microneedling is right for you.
