Facial scars are always a challenge to treat, especially the ones that are deep-seated and/or involve much of the face. Micro needling therapy is a new addition to the treatment armamentarium for such scars that offers a simple and reportedly effective management of these scars. Micro-needling is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure design to people like you improve their appearances and self-esteem.
Scarring is a particularly distressing phenomenon and is most unwelcome when it occurs on the face. Scars can arise on the face due to a number of causes, the commonest of which is acne vulgaris. Post-acne facial scarring is a psychologically devastating condition and the affected patient invariably suffers from low self-esteem and many other psychological ill-effects because of this condition.
It is a minimally-invasive non-surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation that involves the use of a micro-needling device to create controlled skin injury. As each fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a channel or micro-wound. The controlled injury triggers the body to fill these micro-wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis. In addition, new capillaries are formed. This neo vascularization and neo collagenases following treatment leads to reduction of scars and skin rejuvenation, improved skin texture, firmness and hydration.
Skin needling is effectively used for:
Reducing scars (including hypertrophic scars) caused by acne, surgery or thermal burns
Fading stretch marks
Reducing fine lines and deep wrinkles
Depigmentation melasma
Tightening sagging skin.
Marks after pregnancy

Micro needling is designed to be fast and effective, leaving you with noticeable results without the downtime.

There are women who glow when they’re with child. Their skin is clear, their hair is lustrous and they generally become more beautiful with each passing trimester.

And then there’s the other 90 percent of the female population.

Magical as pregnancy may be, few women would extol its cosmetic virtues. Weight gain, bloating, varicose veins and skin discoloration are typically considered some of the condition’s downsides. In the aftermath, many women experience hair loss, sagging skin, rashes and, perhaps the most dreaded of pregnancy’s cosmetic bummers, stretch marks.

Stretch marks accompany at least 50 percent of pregnancies.

They often appear on the belly in the third trimester or in the initial weeks after delivery, but they might also crop up o Technically called striae gravidarum, they result from excessive stretching of the skin.n the hips, buttocks and breasts — anywhere with heavy concentrations of fat cells.  The skin is fairly elastic, but during pregnancy (as well as adolescence and any period of major weight gain) it can be called on to stretch too much and too quickly. The result is tearing in the dermis, the middle of the three layers of skin. Tissue structures in the dermis are pulled apart, breaking collagen bundles embedded there. The result is a pink, red or purple, striating scar.

Various treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and prescription retinoids. Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks; however, few studies exist to support these claims. The use of the Dermapen uses the bodies natural solution for unsightly stretch marks. New collagen growth and stimulation is more effective for reducing and fading stretch marks. The Dermapen^® does this through Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).

The Dermapen^® device allows for appropriate treatment needle depth to activate the cascade of fibroblast and growth hormone steps to generate more skin, collagen and elastin for smooth and healthy colored skin. The skin of the epidermis effectively thickens and noticeable smoother and evening of stretch marks is the result.

At Vitality Laser Spa you receive a professional  skin analyses and a complimentary consultation. Most patients see a noticeable difference in just one treatment however 5-6 treatments may be necessary. After 5-6 treatments striae improvement is noticeable with improved texture and appearance of mature, white striae in skin types I-IV. Four weeks between treatments is necessary to allow the bodies natural skin cycle to complete before another treatment should be performed.

Dermapen is recommended for treating:

• Aged sagging skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Smokers lines around the lips
• Skin tightening and rejuvenation
• Large pores
• Stretch marks
• Scars (acne, surgical and burns)
• And many other cosmetic imperfections

Dermapen’s advanced vertical skin needling technology uses multiple needles that vertically pierce the skin with an automatic vibrating function. When moved across the skin’s surface it creates fine channels in the skin, stimulating natural collagen reproduction. The channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients, allowing for treatment delivery deep into the skin’s fibroblasts to feed the underlying cells found in the dermis and basal layer. This increased absorption of the active ingredients into the skin creates stimulated repair and faster resurfacing results.

Advanced vertical skin needling promotes scar-less healing and the regeneration of normal woven collagen, similar to fractional laser treatments but without the side effects or downtime.

Unlike traditional skin needling rollers, the Dermapen causes less trauma and has minimal epidermal (skin) damage, therefore reducing pain and discomfort, making it a safer more effective treatment. The disposable needles eliminate risk of cross-contamination, and the adjustable needle depths allow for a treatment that is tailored to your individual needs.

The Dermapen offers a new option for patients wanting to avoid the embarrassment of acne scarring and wrinkles. It is a safe, comfortable and effective alternative to laser resurfacing. Dermapen skin microneedling treatment is indicated for all skin types, and when performed in a series, provides great results with little to no down time.

Dermapen treatment uses multiple fine needles that vertically pierce the skin in rapid succession. This action helps promote epidermal healing which is the primary function needed for collagen stimulation, fibroblast creation and the growth of elastin fibers. Unlike dermal skin rollers, Dermapen uses a precisely-controlled stamping method to reach a set depth in the skin while minimizing excess damage to the epidermis. The automatic vibrating function of the Dermapen™ increases the effectiveness of treatment by increasing absorption of products, while reducing pain and discomfort.

How is the treatment administered?
Skin needling procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the sterile DermaPen needle head. The procedure is normally completed within 30-60 minutes depending on the required treatment and anatomical site. Before the procedure starts a topical anesthetic will be applied to your skin to ensure a comfortable experience. After the skin is numbed, the technician gently moves the DermaPen over your skin to puncture the epidermis layers of the skin and create miniscule sub-cutaneous injuries. These microscopic wounds stimulate new collagen deposition which may last for up to a year, yet they close within less than an hour.

What areas of the body can be treated with Dermapen?
Dermapen is extremely versatile and can be used on all parts of the body including Face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back. This versatility makes Dermapen especially helpful when addressing acne scars on the back and stretch marks on the body.

How does the skin appear after the treatment?
After the procedure the client’s skin will be red and flushed in appearance in a similar way to moderate sunburn. The client will also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on the area being treated. This will diminish greatly after a few hours following treatments and within the next 24 hours the skin will be completely healed. After 3 days there is barely any evidence that the procedure has taken place.

How quickly are results visible?
Visible results of skin rejuvenation are generally seen after just 6-8 weeks following procedure and improve further over time. A course of 4-6 DermaPen sessions is usually recommended to achieve optimum results; however skin improvement is noticeable after just one treatment.
