Medical Micro-needling is a skin rejuvenation/collagen induction treatment that uses the body’s own ability to repair itself. It is done by dermapen or dermaroller - small needles that create puncture wounds in the skin, this then will activate the body’s natural ability to heal wounds and encourages the renewal of skin cells and the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Micro-needling can significantly improve the appearance of:

  • Reduces wrinkles and fine lines

  • Improves appearance of scars

  • Décolletage

  • Aged and sun damages skin

  • Prevents signs of aging

  • Rejuvenation of hands

  • Reduces appearance of stretch marks

After the procedure your body will start to naturally regenerate and repair the skin, working below the surface in the dermis. This takes time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and blood supply is enhanced. It can take up to 6 weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen and the process will continue over the following months, providing you with a natural and long lasting enhancement.

At ifab, Dr Rehanna is proud to use medical grade dermaroller for best possible results.
