Micro-Needling

Micro-needling is a procedure that can improve the overall texture and quality of the skin.

Micro-needling is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These minor contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response, renew the skin cells, and stimulate cell proliferation.

As your skin repairs, collagen and elastin production is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect, eventually improving skin contours and elasticity. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage, and ageing. The reduced intensity causes less downtime than a more invasive treatment, while still achieving a youthful complexion. In Dr PJ Aesthetic Clinic, we perform several micro-needling methods such as DermaPen, and Radiofrequency needling (Fractional Radiofrequency).

Dermapen uses an electronic machine with a small needle depth to target the skin’s top layers for a rejuvenating effect. The unique automated mechanism of Dermapen allows the practitioner to control treatment intensity to tailor the treatment to your needs.  A solution is also applied to the skin, containing hyaluronic acid, minerals, vitamins, and peptides. 

Radiofrequency needling is a procedure that can improve the overall texture and quality of the skin, which leads to a more substantial skin tightening. Rejuvenation by non-surgical RF with the skin needling device stimulates the skin to produce new collagen in the dermis. This stimulation is done by delivering the heat energy produced by radiofrequency to the second layer of skin, with dozens of tiny needles. 

By the destruction of the old, faulty collagen and elastin, and increasing the production of new collagen, a firmer and younger skin appearance can be achieved without invasive surgery. An ideal treatment for skin tightening on all areas of the face and body, successful results have also been seen in reducing pore size and stretch marks. By encouraging skin resurfacing and the regeneration of healthy new cells, the appearance of deep acne scars, Ice pick scars, atrophic scars, burn and operation scars can also be significantly improved.
