MicroNeedling in Ventura County!
MicroPen is a treatment used to create controlled micro-injuries in order to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process, resulting in softer wrinkles. This process also creates micro-channels that can be used with topical gels, creams, and serums to improve the appearance of the acne scarring. Results vary depending on the treatment area.
In more details...
Eclipse MicroPen is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to naturally produce collagen and elastin. Wicroneedling can also be combined with adding various serums or creames to improve their absorbtions. The micro-channels created by micro-needling provide direct pathways to the deeper layers of skin for optimal wound healing. Microneedling is the ideal treatments for younger looking skin, smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Ask our team about other ways to significantly improve the results of this procedure.
MicroPen
(Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin's overall appearance. During this procedure, the Eclipse MicroPen is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to naturally produce collagen and elastin. The skin's repair process results in improvement of the appearance of softer wrinkles. MicroNeedling also creates superficial micro-channels which can be used with topical gels, creams and serums to help improve the appearance of the epidermal layer of the skin.
How Is MicroPen Different From Dermal Needling Rollers?
MicroNeedling devices move in a vertical direction for better precision when treating the skin. Unlike Micro-needling, the roller does not create a precise vertical action. The lack of precision can contribute to greater discomfort and inconsistent effects to the skin.
How Is MicroPen Different From Lasers?
Unlike lasers, Eclipse MicroPen breaks up pigment mechanically and stimulates the collagen formation without heat. Removing heat from the equation makes for a safer, more comfortable treatment with a very low complication rate. No heat also equals less downtime! Most Eclipse MicroPen® patients are red for 24 hours or less. That advantage means you can get the procedure performed on a Friday and be back to normal for work on Monday.

What areas of the body can I treat?
Areas to be treated include face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back. The device can also be used on the scalp to treat hair thinning.
How long the procedure take?
The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.
What does my downtime look like?
Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time will depend on the depth of the needles used and the number of overlapping passes. On average patients are red for 2-4 days, but some may heal completely in 24 hours.
When will I see results?
You will notice an immediate "glow" to your skin while visible changes will develop over the course of several weeks. Dr. Hanna recommends most patients to receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For deeper wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals.
