The technique of Micro Needling as a minimally invasive procedure started to be recognized in the early 90’s
Initially the treatments were for depressed subcutaneous scars or subcision as it is now known today
Needling has become one of the most popular treatments within the industry with many studies and papers to back this up
There is however, some confusion over the numerous types of equipment and protocols being taught
This course will give you a clear clinical explanation of the treatment as well as the histological effects it has on the skin
We are completely non-branded, so the training is about the treatment, not the device
Though advice will be given
Medical Skin Needling is aimed at stimulating the body’s own collagen production to reduce the appearance of:
Skin needling, micro-needling or collagen induction therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical and non-ablative procedure for face and body rejuvenation
This involves the use of a needling pen or rollering device to create a controlled skin injury, which starts the wound healing response, which in turn creates collagen and elastin
It can also be used as a method of implantation of topical products to aid in the treatment effectiveness, especially when it comes to hair, pigmentation and acne
This course teaches you an in-depth knowledge of the skin and its functions in relation to needling and the histological evidence
This is a must have treatment for any clinic.
Day 1
Microneedling (aka collagen-induction therapy) is a nonsurgical treatment that penetrates your skin’s surface with fine needles to improve its appearance. This popular procedure can help smooth lines and wrinkles, even skin tone (including stubborn melasma), minimize large pores, firm skin, and fade stretch marks and scars, including acne scars
By creating microscopic punctures in the skin, microneedling creates thousands of tiny injuries. This triggers a healing response that releases a cascade of growth factors, which in turn boosts production of the body’s own collagen (the protein fibers that keep skin smooth and supple).
It all depends on what you are trying to treat? Recommended treatments are a series of three to six treatments, spaced about two weeks to a month apart.
Needling is a restorative treatment so it takes a few treatments to see the difference. But we are looking for long term results not instant gratification.
