Micro-Needling in Kansas City & Overland Park

Micro-Needling

What is Automated Micro-Needling?

Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance.

During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to naturally produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in the improvement of the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels that can be used with topical gels, creams, and serums to help improve the appearance of the epidermal layer of the skin.

How Is Micro-needling™ Different From Dermal Needling Rollers?

Automated micro-needling devices move in a vertical direction for better precision when treating the skin. Unlike Automated Micro-needling the roller does not create a precise vertical action.

The lack of precision can contribute to greater discomfort and inconsistent effects on the skin.

How Is Micro-needling™ Different From Lasers?

Unlike lasers, Micro-needling™ breaks up pigment mechanically and stimulates the collagen formation without heat. Removing heat from the equation makes for a safer, more comfortable treatment with a very low complication rate.

No heat also equals less downtime! Most Micro-needling™ patients are red for 24 hours or less. That advantage means you can get the procedure performed on a Friday and be back to normal for work on Monday.

How Is The Procedure Done?

A sterile needle-tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles is attached to the Micro-needling™. Your skin care professional will apply a thin layer of topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment setting based on your unique needs.

Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding until the entire treatment area has been covered. This process results in thousands of superficial microscopic channels throughout the entire treatment area.
