The aesthetic medicine treatment

The aesthetic medicine technique of needling is recommended especially for people with mature skin in order to slow down the ageing process. The minimally invasive procedure takes place on an outpatient basis and lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the quality/quantity of the blemish. One hour before the treatment, the plastic surgeon applies anaesthesia to the affected area and then proceeds with the use of the MicroRoll. The instrument, equipped with titanium micro-needles, slides over the area to be treated and makes small punctures through which it injects and spreads those active ingredients that the skin absorbs to facilitate tissue repair. The substances introduced stimulate cell renewal while also inducing the production of elastin and collagen, which enhance skin hydration, texture, tone, evenness and relaxation. The procedure ends with the application of a balsamic ointment to reduce the redness that will tend to disappear within a few hours. On the other hand, it will take a few weeks to observe the first results and a couple of months for definitive ones (collagen needs 60 to 90 days to restore itself). To maintain a soft and firm skin, it is advisable to repeat the cycle of sessions on the basis of the doctor’s instructions. Needling treatment is not indicated for pregnant women and those suffering from active skin diseases, coagulation and scarring difficulties or collagenopathies.
