About
At HydraLuxe Wellness we use COSMOPen for microneedling as it was one of the first FDA approved systems out there and has consistently shown professional results!
COSMOPen is a state-of-the-art medical grade high speed microneedling System. It offers the same results as a fractional laser without pain, downtime, expense, and thermal damage.
COSMOPen can be used to treat acne and surgical scars—including keloids—as well as wrinkles, stretch marks, pore size, and signs of aging.
Additionally, by vertically piercing the skin, COSMOPen helps naturally induce collagen production and treat pigmentation.
MOST USEFUL FOR:
Facial rejuvenation, restoring skin elasticity, production of new collagen.
Improving acne scars and keloids.
Reducing fine lines and deep expression lines.
Treating stretch marks.
Decreasing hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Treating alopecia.
Improving the delivery of nutrients through the skin.
What is it and how does it work?
Microneedling also called Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (microneedling the skin) in order to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen.
Percutaneous collagen induction ( PCI ) therapy or medical microneedling is a technique where a fractional microneedling device with fine microneedles has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin, to increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s wound healing cascade (hemostasis-inflammation-proliferation-tissue remodeling). It is also referred to as a non-ablative skin treatment. This means that the deeper parts of the skin are treated without removing the top layer of skin. It is designed to treat various skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, light scarring from acne and photo damage, and to improve skin color and other skin texture changes.
What is the principal behind Microneedling:
COSMOPen microneedling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). The idea behind CIT is similar to that of many other non-surgical skin-tightening procedures in that it aims to create a controlled Non-Thermal injury underneath the skin’s surface, thereby inducing the body to respond through the formation of new tissue layers of elastin- and collagen fibers (neo-collagenesis) as well as new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) in the treated area. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulus, ultimately reducing the appearance of scars, and fine lines and other skin texture changes. It can be used off-label to perform treatments that improve the delivery of drugs (Cosmeceuticals-MesoMedica® Solutions and biological materials such as Density Platelet Gel PRP ). Whenever we can generate openings in the skin we have an opportunity for topical to penetrate more readily through the channels created.
