What is Automated Micro-Needling?

Automated Micro-Needling is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin 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. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels, which allow topical serums and creams to be absorbed more effectively into the skin. Collagen P.I.N. is the most advanced medical-grade automated micro-needling device on the market. Micro-needling can be used with or without PRP which are your own platelets.

How is Collagen P.I.N. Different from the Dermal Needling Rollers of the Past?

Micro-needling rollers are the previous generation of needling devices. One of the many drawbacks of dermal rollers is the fixed needle or penetration depth (i.e. 0.5mm) which is not very conducive when treating an area like the face which requires different depths due to the thickness of skin tissue, which varies in depth tremendously depending on the area being treated. Therefore, having a fixed needle depth or penetration level is a huge drawback when trying to customize a treatment for consistency. Collagen P.I.N. has an adjustable needle depth that allows your skincare provider to adjust penetration depth throughout the entire treatment. This will allow the medical provider to properly address the specific needs of thinner skin on your lower eyelids, crow’s feet, and forehead. Additionally, where the tissue is thicker in other areas like the upper lip, cheeks (due to fat pads), neck and decollete, the necessary adjustments can easily be treated with 1 needle tip instead of 5 or 6 needle rollers. The other dramatic difference is in the type of injury that occurs using the Collagen P.I.N. versus a Dermal Needling Roller.

SAFETY

Safety is always important. Collagen P.I.N. is inherently safer than dermal rollers, utilizing sterile single-use surgical grade disposable needle tips. It is also safe for all skin types which means this procedure can benefit everyone!!

CUSTOMIZABLE TREATMENT PLAN

Each patient’s skin is different and has unique needs for its betterment. Because the needle depth is adjustable, this allows Collagen PIN providers to customize your treatment to your individual needs. Most all areas of the body can be treated which include:

  • Face
  • Arms
  • Neck
  • Legs
  • Decolletage
  • Abdomen
  • Hands
  • Back

BENEFITS

Microneedling with Collagen P.I.N. activates cellular regeneration to help tighten and lift skin while minimizing and improving the following conditions:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity
  • Pore size
  • Texture, tone and color
  • Stretch marks
  • Traumatic scars
  • Hyper-pigmentation and hypo-pigmentation
  • Deep penetration of topical serums

How long will it take for me to see results?

Most all patients see results after the first treatment. It is common to see true changes or positive results as soon as 1-2 weeks. Many patients comment on positive changes in even less time.

How long will my results last?

Microneedling using the Collagen P.I.N. produces results through the stimulation of growth factors and collagen, thereby promoting new skin cells to surface. As our skin ages, our collagen production naturally slows down. Your overall result will last longer when using an at home skin care regimen which Solange will discuss with you after evaluating your individualized products. New collagen and elastin formation in the skin are documented as visually and measurably improved as much as one year after just one treatment. However, a series of treatments is typically recommended for best results.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically a series of 3-6 treatments is recommended, depending upon your area of correction or concern as well as your treatment goals. Treatments are usually spaced in 4 week intervals. Patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, stretch marks, or any type of scars, usually require 6 or more treatments to achieve the desired results.
