In recent decades we have a dramatic increase in the aging of the use of applications such as laser skin resurfacing with ablative lasers and tapered deep phenol chemical peels as a successful method. But the downside of this procedure, particularly removing the upper layers of the skin, thus leaving a looking for something like a lobster soup directly from the pot with a long and painful recovery of the future that manyPeople just do not want to put up with the loss of valuable time and pain and the risk of permanent side effects sometimes associated with such treatments, regardless of how successful the outcome.
Doctors, researchers and manufacturers have therefore sought other ways of aesthetic procedures to help lower once more youthful skin invasive methods that fall into the category of non-or. Options, including the further development of non-ablative andLaser, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and radio devices have dominated the headlines and fractional aesthetic industry conferences for several years, but another growing sector, few spoke until recently, medical skin needling.
Background
The clinical concept of using minimally invasive surgical needles for skin rejuvenation and repair of the 1990s began to develop a technique that allowed the middle.
In 1995, et al Orentreich a method for treating depression subcutaneous scars and wrinkles, scars, now known as subcision the phrase "subcutaneous invasive surgery, in which a tri-beveled, the needle is inserted through a puncture in the skin surface, adjacent, and the edges are maneuvered by the lack of. The method attempts to increase the original surface of the defect in the skin surrounding the release of the surgical> Skin by his attachment to the deeper tissues, resulting in increase of the skin and the introduction of a controlled injury, depression, stigma initiates wound healing, resulting in the formation of connective tissue that brings.
Shortly after Camirand et al published their use of a commercial tattoo machine, tattoo ink without the multiple bites achromatic (non-pigment) and hypertrophic (red and raised) scars, and found a significant improvementthe appearance of scars, and in some cases, re-pigmentation of the area.
Dr Des Fernandes then gave a presentation on the 1996 treatment of upper lip line with a "stamp needles" for percutaneous collagen induction. There is more about his progress on this later in this article.
After this first work is the development of skin needling equipment and procedures have taken her some time, especially laser and radiofrequencyThe treatments are shown rapid growth. It is, however, that the substantial benefits to the skin needling medical professionals can now come to the fore and the beginning of aesthetic is emerging as a key and a medical treatment options.
Medical needling the skin?
Medical needles Skin Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and micro-needling, is also considered a relatively new conceptwithin the wide range of beauty treatments for skin rejuvenation with many years to come in size we see now in the last 5
Like many other treatments, the production of collagen that seeks to promote the body lines to reduce the appearance of fine and wrinkles, stretch marks, scars and skin laxity, acne or chicken pox that.
This is the introduction of a series of fine, sharp needles in progressthe skin after topical administration of a local anesthetic, in case of medical equipment capable of reducing the discomfort. The needles are sterile penetration into a role, one of which is shifted to the skin surface, creating numerous microscopic channels or columns about 0.07, 0.25 mm wide, at different depths. In the case of medical roles in the papillary dermis layer of skin where collagen and elastin fibers(See Figure). Cosmetic rollers is one which is much less deeply into the epidermis, where the absorption of aid ingredients of the day. These small grooves close over almost immediately as the skin heals.
This "damage" to the dermis stimulates the body to produce more new collagen elastin and new skin cells to restore "the literal, so the skin is thicker, firmer and younger. Although primarily used on the faceProcedure can be performed anywhere in the abdominal body, such as stretch marks on thighs, and generally for all skin types.
Are a variety of devices now on the UK market for medical skin needling. Needle They vary in length from about 0.02 mm, for domestic workers, after the cosmetic use, often combined with skin care, minutes, supporting skin prick test absorption of each activeIngredients that maintain and improve the skin. Needle length on some devices capable of teaching up to 3 mm of collagen, designed for professional, medical lead to a new achievement of that result in significant regeneration of the skin are used to, when a trained professional. Often the roller-home use recommended for several months during and after cessation of treatment with the professional role, in combination with aappropriate skin care, and for the promotion and maintenance of the results of rejuvenation. The so-called cosmetic use of roles, to be sure is to do at home because of the small amount of needling and is considered practically painless for most people.
Prepare the skin using vitamin A and C creams, the procedure can be recommended for up to four weeks. Role of medical treatments take between 10 minutes and one hourTreatment depends on the size of the area. The pain should be minimal for the application of local anesthetic, but you can still feel a little 'annoyance. The skin is pink or red in appearance after treatment, some minor bleeding and bruising are possible, depending on the aggressiveness of the procedure, ie, the length and needle for each indicator and provide the number of visits fully wound treatment area . Recovery canLast 24 hours or a few days, most people, but back in the position to work the next day. Possible complications are minor flaking or dry skin with scabs in rare cases. Milia (small white spots) may also operators with skin removed, which is the by-product. Hyperpigmentation (darkening of certain areas of the skin) may occur very rarely and usually disappears after a month. If you have a history of cold sores, mayinflammation after treatment.
It may take between 4-8 weeks before the visible signs of skin regeneration and the process will be seen in the following months a gradual appreciation. A single treatment can lead to tangible results, but a program is a distance of 2-5 treatments 2-3 months apart, often recommended for best results, in combination with the at-home scheme. The specific number of sessions required will depend on the spacetreated and the severity of these claims, and the level of the natural response of the individual body.
There are three major brands of equipment that we are deep in our midst roles. These are all tried and tested and offer a range of lengths of needles, depending on the user and the condition being treated. The popularity of this type of procedure has also led to an increase in the number of copies now led invasion in the market to meet demand measurement, with a number of InternetSites that sell medical August lengths only slightly at risk if home users are used without medical supervision, with the potential risks, including scarring and infection. For this reason we recommend that all consumers are interested in this procedure, a good reputation and professionals in a UK hospital to search.
