Sahara Medical Institute is pleased to offer Microneedling treatments for skin rejuvenation and restoration. This micro-needling technique can be quite effective in addressing stretch marks, acne scars, fine wrinkles, and lessening the appearance of surgical or burn scars.

Awarded the “Best Professional Skin Rejuvenation Device” at THE Aesthetic Show 2012, Microneedling is a safe and effective way of restoring the skin to a healthier, younger-looking state through its unique vertical needling approach. Unlike traditional skin needling rollers, Microneedle uses a precisely controlled stamping method to penetrate the skin to a set depth. Compared with needle rollers, Microneedling causes less damage to the epidermis.

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?

Microneedle utilizes 12 multi-speed, adjustable needles to pierce the skin layers at a 90-degree angle. These piercings cause the body to react as if it has been injured, increasing natural collagen production at the site, resulting in younger-looking skin and lessening the appearance of scars and stretch marks. This technique also allows increased absorption of topical products and their active ingredients, increasing the treatment’s effectiveness. Because of its precision, Dermapan can be used on hard-to-reach areas on the face: the lips, nose, and the areas around the eyes. Microneedle treatments are painless (a numbing cream is used before the micro-needling begins) and don’t have any downtime.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURE?

After a Microneedle session, the skin will appear reddish and flushed like sunburned skin. Our patients usually experience mild sensitivity to touch, a warm sensation, and skin tightness on the treated area for the first six hours. These symptoms rapidly diminish and by 24 hours after treatment the skin has completely healed.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS FROM MICRONEEDLING?

The majority of our patients see noticeable improvement six to eight weeks after their Microneedle procedure. These results may continue to improve over time. During your consultation with Dr. Peraza or Dr. Crespo, you will be given specific instructions that you need to follow before and after the procedure to maximize your results.
