Micro-Channeling

MDPen  MicroNeedling is a safe, effective and minimally-invasive procedure that applies micro needles to the skin, creating a series of tiny punctures to stimulate collagen production.  MDPen results in glowing, smoother and younger-looking skin, but without the downtime or trauma associated with laser or chemical treatments.  MDPen can be applied to most areas of the face and body, including the hands, lips, neck, de’colletage and abdomen. It can be performed any time if the year and is perfect for all skin types. 

 With minimal physical discomfort, most clients are able to do the procedure without numbing cream and without any noticeable pain. There is no lingering discomfort, and we have a number of strategies we employ to minimize discomfort during treatment. Post-procedure, most people report a “tight” feeling in their skin. 

 As MDPen  MicroNeedling is safe for almost anyone.  The only contradictions are for those who have active acne infections, or trouble with wound healing.  Avoid MicroNeeding if you have skin conditions such as eczema or diabete.

 Acne scars, Dark spots, Hyperpigmentation, Stretch marks, Wrinkles and fine lines, Enlarged pores, Uneven skin tone, Sagging skin.

 It is normal for treatments to result in some skin irritation, especially for clients with more sensitive skin. Always wait a minimum of 90 minutes before putting anything else on the skin. During this time it is normal for the skin to remain pink or light red. After the 90 minutes you can apply additional moisturizer or other products. Keep in mind however, that as your skin may be more sensitive than usual for several days after the treatment, especially strong topicals should be avoided until the skin returns to normal. 

 Though neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen) can take several weeks, it is not abnormal to notice an improvement in the quality and appearance of your skin within the first 24 hours. After 2-3 treatments a thicker more robust, collagen filled cellular matrix will produce more consistent and noticeable improvement. And 6 or more treatments may be recommended for scarring, laxity and wrinkles. 

 If you have any underlying condition that significantly impairs your immune system, it is a good idea to avoid microchanneling. Examples include but are not limited to active radiation or chemotherapy, uncontrolled diabetes, chronic inflammatory skin disease, Accutane in the past 2 years, hemophilia or similar bleeding disorder. Also anyone with stainless steel allergies should not do this treatment. We also discourage treatments for those who are pregnant or nursing.
