Micro Needling – Mechanical Fraxel
Micro needling, “Vampire Facial,” was featured recently on Good Morning America and The View as the latest craze in the aesthetics’ industry for its safe and effective rejuvenation properties. Micro needling is a fantastic treatment with big benefits, good safety profile and minimal downtime. It is known to refine pores, stimulate collagen/elastin production, remove scars and firm up the skin.
Micro needling can also be referred to as “Mechanical Fraxel,” literally, a non-heat based, multiple fine needles creating micro zones in skin with efforts to initiate the wound healing process without injuring the epidermis. As a result, the body immediately responds by increasing the formation of new tissue to refresh mature skin, as well as release growth factors that promote wrinkle and scar repair. The self repairing property of the skin is 100% natural of skin renewal from the inside out.
