What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that involves using a handheld device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful in appearance. Microneedling can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and texture. It is a safe and effective procedure, when performed by a qualified professional, that can be tailored to individual skin needs, providing fantastic results and a renewed complexion.
Traditional Microneedling
Risks of Scar Tissue
Traditional microneedling employs longer needles (2/2.5 mm deep) that penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, posing a high risk of subcutaneous damage, including scars and second-degree burns. This method can lead to collagen and elastin loss.
Inaccurate Perforations with Small Steel Needles
Microneedling systems utilize small steel needles that create imprecise perforations. The lack of needle guidance can cause skin trauma and scarring as the needles may bend sideways during the process.
Analog Driven System with Inconsistent Perforation
Analog-driven microneedling systems often result in inconsistent perforation due to variations in the speed and inability to guarantee constant penetration depth across different skin zones.
Lower Microperforations per Second
Microneedling pens typically produce 800-1200 microperforations per second, which may take longer to achieve optimal results compared to other methods with higher perforation rates.
Limited Treatment Areas
The absence of a Needle Protective Cap in microneedling devices restricts treatment around delicate areas such as the eyes and lips.
Dermatude Meta Therapy
Safe and Effective
Dermatude Meta Therapy differs significantly from microneedling, providing a safe and effective solution for skin rejuvenation. It perforates the basal cell layer in the top dermal layer at a safe depth of 0.2-0.5 mm without the risk of scar tissue. This stimulates the production of new cells, elastin, and collagen.
Precise Cone-Shaped Tips
Dermatude uses cone-shaped polycarbonate tips that reach the basal cell layer without bending sideways. This ensures controlled and precise perforations with high density for optimal results.
Digitally Powered with Flex Head Technology
Meta Therapy employs a digital device with patented modules featuring Flex Head Technology. This advanced technology guarantees even treatment with precise needle penetration, eliminating the risk of irregular or deep perforations across different skin zones.
High Perforation Density
With a speed of 120-150, the Dermatude handpiece and treatment module deliver 2340/2700 microperforations per second, achieving efficient and comprehensive treatment. No part of the skin is left untouched, even delicate areas like the under-eye and lip areas.
Treatable around Eyes and Lips
The Flex Head Technology allows safe and precise treatment on the lips, under the eyes, and up to the eye's edge, ensuring complete rejuvenation.
Proven Effectiveness and FDA Approval
Dermatude Meta Therapy is FDA approved and backed by independent research, confirming its effectiveness in skin rejuvenation.
When comparing microneedling and Dermatude Meta Therapy, the differences become clear. Meta Therapy combines the benefits of microneedling with our unique patented technology, which prioritizes safety, precision, and effectiveness, offering superior results without the risks associated with traditional microneedling methods."
