Microneedling

Principle of microneedling

Using a pen fitted with a sterile, fine-needle tip, our aesthetic doctor makes micro-perforations in the patient’s skin to enable the active ingredients of specific serums to penetrate through the different layers of the skin (up to 200 times more penetration than topical treatments).

What’s more, micro-perforation stimulates tissue to release growth and healing factors, resulting in collagen andelastin production and a natural anti-aging process. One microneedling session can increase collagen production by up to 1000%. The dermis is denser and thicker.

In some cases, your aesthetic doctor will perform a Vampire Lift : the serum used will contain active ingredients derived from your own PRP, Platelet Rich Plasma. A blood sample will be taken and then centrifuged to collect the PRP. This serum, rich in platelets and growth factors, is then applied to the area to be treated, before micro-perforations are made to promote deep penetration of the PRP into the tissues. This process uses your own stem cells, so there’s no risk of allergy.

As with most aesthetic medicine treatments, microneedling is complemented by LED light therapy for optimal results.

Skin is regenerated and becomes beautiful, smooth and firm. The complexion is radiant without social eviction.

Microneedling zones

All areas of the face and body can be treated with microneedling, including the eye contour, décolleté, hands… and scalp. Ideally, 3 to 6 sessions spaced two weeks apart are needed to see results. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be carried out all year round, provided intensive sun protection is provided during the treatment.

Microneedling is an excellent complement to other techniques such as peels or Morpheus 8® radiofrequency.

How the session unfolds

A preliminary consultation with a specialist will confirm the right indication and discuss your medical history and expectations.

During the session, the skin is cleansed and an anaesthetic cream is applied to the skin. increase comfort. Depending on the treatment chosen, after cleansing and disinfection of the skin, the area to be treated is treated with a serum rich in hyaluronic acid, vitamins and peptides (NCTF 135 HA ®) or your own PRP. In this case, a blood sample is taken, the blood is centrifuged and the PRP is then collected for application to the skin.

Next, the specialist will use a microneedling pen to create micro-perforations in the skin, enabling deep penetration of the serum or PRP active ingredients. The treatment can be completed with an LED session to reduce redness.

What happens after microneedling?

After microneedling treatment, the skin may show redness, slight edema, tightness, warmth and a “sunburn” effect. Small scabs may also form. These reactions are normal and temporary.

It is advisable to protect the skin from UV rays after the treatment, and to avoid extreme heat (sauna, hammam) and swimming pools until the skin has fully recovered.

What results can we expect?

Vampire Lift: microneedling’s mechanical action and PRP’s anti-aging properties stimulate collagen production, softening sun damage, aging and skin problems. This treatment technique firms the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and diminishes age spots and scars. It also helps to erase scars and acne marks and re-texturize the epidermis.

NCTF® serum is spontaneously absorbed by the skin. It moisturizes, tightens pores and gives an immediate radiance boost. Coupled with the action of microneedling, it reduces the depth of wrinkles after several sessions.
