Microneedle mesotherapy

is a method of mechanical skin puncturing with the use of very thin needles. It uses various tools equipped with needles such as: roller or dermapen.

Micro-punctures cause controlled skin damage.

The needles used in this technique are not used for applying preparations, but for very dense “punching” of the skin of the face or other parts of the body. During the procedure, numerous punctures of the skin cause microtrauma, and often also micro-bleeding. A small amount of blood then flows out of the damaged blood vessels and the thrombocyte activation process begins. Small amounts of blood components getting into the extravascular space secrete a number of cytokines that influence the skin regeneration processes. As a result of these processes, the so-called growth factors.

The length of the needles should be adapted to the expected effect (lifting, regeneration, scar reduction, etc.) and to the treatment area, due to the different structure of the skin in different parts of the body.

INDICATIONS FOR A MICRO-NEEDLE THERAPY TREATMENT

Microneedle mesotherapy has a wide spectrum of action.
