Here is a question we received
Does Dermapen work as well as fractionated laser for removing under eye wrinkles? I'm curious because I have been using a lot of different facial tightening creams and wrinkle creams and not getting very good results. I want a better solution than what I am getting from the creams.
Here is our answer;
Medical micro-needling, when properly done and combined with effective skin care products such as human growth-factor serums such as Platelet Rich Plasma, has been shown to give as good or better results than laser or Fraxel treatments. And at a fraction of the cost! Compared to fractionated laser treatments, micro-needling not only spares the epidermis, it strengthens it. The key to micro-needling is the healing response that this process stimulates. The keratinocyte is responsible for releasing several growth factors that promote and organize underlying cell turnover to facilitate skin rejuvenation. Repeated "stimulation" of healthy keratinocytes with Dermapen leads to release of growth factors and cytokines that optimize cell-to-cell communication between keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts. When these signals are boosted, fibroblasts differentiate to form normal collagen and greater amounts of hyaluronic acid.
The result is restoration of a thicker, healthier looking skin!
