MICRO-NEEDLING

Micro-needling (collagen induction therapy) is a clinically proven procedure that promotes skin repair, combats signs of aging, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.

At Lumina Laser Centre, we use the eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® which produces micro-punctures in the dermis and triggers the body’s spontaneous healing process, stimulating cell proliferation and causing the formation of new collagen. This results in a thicker, more supple, cellular matrix, and therefore visibly younger looking skin.

THE TREATMENT

The eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® causes minimally invasive precision micro-injuries of the epidermis and dermis, without causing open wounds or ablative damage. The puncturing channels close after a short time and these micro-injuries trigger the body’s wound healing cascade, which induces an increased collagen production in the treated skin. The eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® triggers the construction of new tissue by stimulating healthy cell regeneration in precision-targeted areas that show the signs of aging. It effectively reduces wrinkles, tightens and thickens the skin, and – perhaps most impressively – fills and smooths scars.

1. Treatment

The eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller®’s surgical-grade micro-needles reach beyond the epidermis into the dermis, causing pin-point bleeding and triggering the body’s spontaneous healing response.

2. Healing Cascade

Within minutes, the perforation channels close and the healing cascade starts, invading the area with collagen-producing fibroblasts and growth-promoting properties.

3. Younger Looking Skin

New organized collagen & elastin forms, bolstering from within, while the epidermis becomes thicker and more supple, each time a treatment is performed.

Number Of Sessions For Permanent Results: The number of treatments depends on the unique needs of the patient, but typically 3 to 6 treatments are needed.

Results Timeline: Results are visible from one week after the treatment. For up to 6 months after a treatment, new collagen continues to be formed by the body
