What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a treatment used to improve the skin’s texture and tone, reduce surface scarring and minimize the appearance of fine lines. Sixteen micro-surgical steel needles are used to create micro channels (microscopic holes) in the skin. Microneedling is ideal for individuals who have contraindications for heat-based laser treatments and individuals who want minimal downtime (no heats means faster recovery).

How does the DP4™ Microneedling pen work?

DP4™ is a small, hand-held device that delivers up to 1,920 micro-punctures per second, promoting new collagen and elastin growth leading to noticeable improvements in the skin’s appearance for a wide variety of conditions (hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, scarring, wrinkles, stretch marks and more).

DP4™ is the world's leading vertical needle technology. At ArtMed, we choose to use DP4™ for its precision, on-the-fly adjustability to optimize results and virtually pain-free treatment experience.

What about topicals post DP4™?

The added benefit of micro-needling is that the superficial micro-channels created by DP4™ facilitate the deep absorption of topically applied products immediately post treatment. Examples of topicals include hyaluronic acid, or Vitamin C serums. We’ll recommend a topical agent best suited to optimizing your results.

For a premium experience, patients can purchase exosomes for use topically post micro-needling. Exosomes are stem-cell derived growth factors that provide an immediate soothing effect, amplify treatments results and shorten recovery time.
