Tag: Micro Needling

I must admit the term Micro Needling does not immediately conjure up pretty pictures in one’s mind, however the end result of the treatment can be very pretty indeed!

Micro Needling is a procedure in which a device called a MicroPen® delivers tiny needle pricks to stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes.  The end game pays off, the micro injury stimulates the growth of collagen, the scaffolding under the skin.

The process fades scars, smooths acne pockmarks and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles with minimal down time.  As far as acnes scars go, the treatment works best for “rolling” acnes scars (slightly sunken areas), but not for deep, narrow “ice pick” scars.  You may need several treatments to achieve optimal results for acne scars, (4-6 is average) but the results can be quite dramatic.

At the G Spa in Santa Barbara we use the Eclipse MicroPen® for Mico Needling as it is inherently safer than other products, such as dermal rollers. It utilizes sterile single-use surgical grade disposable cartridge tips. The unique features of the Turbo Safety Cartridge™ ensure the MicroPen® delivers greater efficiency and superior clinical results while maintaining the highest level of safety for both the patient and provider. Each patient has unique skin needs and requirements. The variable pen position feature allows Dr. Griffin at the G Spa to customize a treatment for best clinical results.  It is also safe for most skin types, which means it is a great procedure for almost everyone!

Ok, as you are now day dreaming about your refreshed skin and diminished wrinkles, let me tell you about one other use for Micro Needling…HAIR RESTORATION…yes, you read that correctly…besides the use for refining acnes scars and wrinkles…Eclipse MicroPen® produces dramatic results in the field of hair restoration.  We are seeing both men and women for this procedure and compared to other expensive painful hair restoration options the results are nothing short of amazing.

The staff at the G Spa Santa Barbara welcomes your questions about the different applications of the Eclipse MicroPen® and if you are not yet intrigued by the possibilities of the Eclipse MicroPen® then let this before and after photo of one of our patients that came in for hair restoration help convince you!
