After anaesthetising the skin with topical anaesthetic, 192 microneedles on a roller are rolled on to the area to be treated. The needles penetrate the dermis layer of the skin upto 1.3mm below the surface. Subsequently, a wound healing response is initiated which stimulates the laying down of new collagen. This in effect remodels the skin, tightening it, improving skin quality and improving the overall appearance to the skin.

All areas of the body can be treated.

All skin types can be treated and skin colour makes little difference to the benefits of the treatment.

Redness and irritation of the treated area may occur (like sunburn). A small minority of patients develop flaking, bruising or blistering. This settles within a few days.

A series of 2 to 5 treatments is recommended at 6 weekly intervals depending on the indication of treatment. Methods to reduce further collagen breakdown include stopping smoking and the application of a moisturiser with SPF50 sun block. The effects of the treatment may also be prolonged with the use of medical grade skin care products. These will enhance the efficacy of the treatment. It must be remembered that the skin is constantly ageing, so it is envisaged that further treatments in the future may well be desirable.
