Collagen Induction Therapy - Exceed Microneedling

Microneedling is a procedure designed to enhance and improve the complexion, activating the body’s natural regenerative processes to stimulate skins own collagen synthesis.

Very tiny needles are used to penetrate the top layer of the skin vertically. These micropunctures cause localised and controlled damage without affecting the epidermis.

The process initialises skins re-generation, reorganisation and reconstruction. As a result, natural regenerative processes instigate skin rejuvenation and renewal.

Microneedling can be used to treat the following issues:

  • Scars (including acne scares)

  • Wrinkles and sagging skin

  • Pigment disorders

  • Sun damage

  • Visible pores

  • Stretch marks

  • Cellulite

Can microneedling be painful?

Anaesthetic cream is used to ensure treatment feels as pleasant as possible. Treatment is painless: the needle only pentrates the very top layer of skin, consisting mostly of dead skin cells.

How long before I see results?

Typically, you will results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results with occur after 4 to 6 treatments. Your skin will continue to improve, with results still visible over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments, when combined with the recommended post treatment care.

How often should you have a microneedling treatment?

For best results it is recommended that patients undergo 4-6 treatments depending on the indication and with intervals of 4-8 weeks. After this, annual refresher treatments to maintain results should suffice. Please consult with Derna for more information.

Why microneedling is proving superior to other treatments:

Minimal risk of scarring when compared to procedures such as microdermabrasian and chemical fruit acid peeling.

No introduction of foreign substances needed.

The body releases natural collagen, which positively impacts treatment success.

Use of substances can have a positive impact on the results.
