Medical microneedling is a procedure designed to enhance & improve skin complexion via activation of the skin’s natural regenerative processes which stimulates collagen synthesis. With expert precision, technique and timing, medical microneedling triggers growth factors for building new collagen. Very tiny needles are used to penetrate the top layer of the skin vertically causing localised and controlled damage without substantially affecting the structure of the epidermis. The creation of controlled microchannels in the skin instigates the regeneration of skin cells via a natural process of healing. Awakening the fibroblast that lies within the deeper layers of the skin, and in turn healthy collagen is naturally produced.
The gentle stimulus provided by medical microneedling is considered far more effective than many other more invasive and expensive skincare treatments. It is a quick & easy technique with little downtime. After a course of treatments, skin structure is visibly revitalised, rejuvenated, replenished and regenerated.
The EXCEED medical microneedling device is clinically proven to visibly reduce wrinkles & treat acne scarring, in particular, to reduce the depth of scars and to normalise the skin structure.
Bringing floating needle tip plates which glide over the contours of the skin, whisper quiet operation, advancements in precision and Medical Clearance (TGA, FDA and MedSafe), enabling us to offer our clients a whole new level of treatment, safety and results.
For a treatment to be comfortable, the device used needs to be oscillating fast enough to create sufficient vibration and effectively block pain signals. Most pens on the market sit around the 100 oscillations per second on their highest setting. The Exceed has a working range of 100 – 150 Hz (oscillations). For every second the Exceed cartridge is in contact with the skin it is possible to create upto 900 punctures. This allows us to achieve an end point much faster and with far less trauma which is great for our clients comfort.
Each cartridge goes through extensive magnified photographic testing prior to being approved and sent out our service. The needles in the Exceed cartridges are housed on a floating plate which ensures the needles always enter the skin perpendicularly. This improves efficiency of treatment and our clients comfort.
It is important that the device we use during treatment has enough power to effectively puncture but also pull out of the clients skin. This ensures the channels made will close quickly and minimise any dragging, catching or tearing of the skin.
