Micro-Needling

What is Automated Micro-Needling?

Automated Micro-Needling, also known as Epidermal Collagen Induction Therapy (ECIT), is a cutting-edge treatment in aesthetic medicine aimed at reducing fine lines, acne scars, and improving skin texture, tone, and color. The procedure uses a device called the Eclipse MicroPen®, which creates precise micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, the epidermis thickens, which helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Additionally, the Eclipse MicroPen® Elite creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing for better absorption of topical products such as gels, creams, and serums, enhancing their impact on deeper layers of the skin.

What are the benefits of Micro-Needling?

The advantages of Micro-Needling include a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin texture and tone, and a more youthful appearance with less visible signs of aging. The MicroPen® Elite is also effective in minimizing hyperpigmentation, evening out skin tone, and reducing the visibility of acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks.

When will I see results?

Many patients notice an immediate radiance in their skin following the procedure. Visible improvements continue to develop over the following weeks, with results further enhancing over a period of up to six months as collagen production continues.

How many treatments will I need?

While some individuals may achieve their desired results with just one annual treatment, it is generally recommended to undergo a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart for optimal results. For patients dealing with deeper wrinkles, significant photo-aging, stretch marks, or acne scars, a course of 6-8 treatments at six-week intervals is typically suggested.
