Micro-needling with Eclipse Micropen is a rejuvenating treatment that stimulates your own collagen and elastin production with minimal to no downtime or discomfort. The microscopic channels created in the skin provide deeper penetration of vitamins, antioxidants, and mild acids. Additionally, micro-needling is used to treat hyper-pigmentation, acne scarring, and photo-damage to improve skin texture.
What is collagen induction therapy (CIT) by microneedling?
Micro-needling also known as collagen induction therapy is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. Eclipse Micropen is a device with fine needles that creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Micro-needling may also be combined with a topical treatment, like antioxidants, growth factors and other vitamin-rich serum.

What are the benefits?

Micro-needling is beneficial for anyone who is able to receive a series of treatments. Micro-Needling is a healthy way to improve skin texture and tone, decrease the visibility of any scarring or stretch marks, and give your skin an overall glow. Once the repair process comes into effect, the epidermis stimulates elastic and collagen and you’ll begin to see the long term results!

What areas of the body can be treated?

Microneedling can be done in any area of the body. Is effective for treating wrinkles and sun damaged skin in the face, neck, chest and hands, acne scars on the face and back, as well as stretch marks on the abdomen and thighs.

What Does It Feel Like?
The feeling associated with micro-needling is similar to light sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating tip reduces discomfort while the applied hydrating gel also makes the treatment more tolerable.

How Long Does The Procedure Take?

The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.

What Is The Downtime?
Immediately after the treatment you will notice a bright redness to the skin.The total healing time depends on the setting used and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red up to 2 to 4 days. Many patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours. Utilizing Refresh Skin Essentials® provided by your skincare provider, can help to speed up the healing process.

When Will I See The Results?

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
