Collagen P.I.N.
How a Collagen PIN Device can Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles
As we age our capacity to grow new skin cells and collagen reduces. injuries accumulated overtime on our skin leaves an enduring imprint, adding to aging elements, for example, scarring, pigmentation, barely recognizable differences, and general pore size. There are a large number of ways and techniques to treat and restore your skin ranging from laser-based medications, chemical peels and lastly micro-scale needling. Smaller-scale needling is a strategy for bringing a controlled injury to the skin setting off the arrival of normal development factors, new collagen, and elastin. This procedure causes substantially less harm to the epidermis than dermal rolling and other ablative treatments, which helps to protect the newly grown skin cell providing for quicker healing and a much higher success rate for overall and longer-lasting results.
What is collagen PIN?
Percutaneous Induction Needling (PIN), also called PCIT, Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy is a method of introducing a controlled injury into the skin in order to set off natural growth factors, new collagen and elastin. This will bring lesser damage to the epidermis than the dermal rolling, lasers and other ablative procedures, and in turn aids in protecting the new skin cell development, providing a faster healing and a substantially higher success rate combined with an overall, longer enduring outcome.
How is Collagen PIN different?
The Micro-needling rollers were the subsequent generation of needling devices. One the major disadvantages of these previous models are their inability to vary needle penetration depth, they have a fixed penetration depth of about 0.5mm and their rollers fixed, which makes it inconvenient to treat areas like the face that usually require varying depths because of the thickness of skin tissues, and depth variations depending on the part of the face being treated. Collagen PIN comes with a needle depth that is adjustable and allows the practitioner to freely select the different depth of penetration during the treatment. This flexibility offered by collagen PIN allows the surgeon to easily address the issues of thinner skin tissues of the lower eyelid forehead and crow’s feet. And also, places with thicker skin tissues like the cheeks (padded with fats), upper lips, décolletage and neck, the adjustments required can be easily treated with a needle tip instead of using 5 or 6 needle rollers.
Who can be treated and on what areas of the body?
Collagen PIN can safely address all sorts of concerns on all types of skin. And almost all areas of the body can be treated except your specialist has advised against its utilization on a specific part. Below is a list of commonly treated areas:
Neck
Arms
Décolletage
Back
Abdomen
Face
Legs
Hands
How many collagen PIN treatments will I need?
Three to six successive treatment is highly recommended, depending on the area to be treated. Your practitioner will basically determine the best schedule of treatment based on your personal goals and desires. The basic spacing between successive treatments is usually four weeks. People with, advanced sun burns damage, deep wrinkles, stretch marks or any type of scars, will most like undergo 6 or more treatments in order to achieve the desired results.
How does the collagen PIN works?
Collagen PIN represents an evolution of the micro-needling process, boasting three times more needles than any other device currently on the market. By triggering a release of new collagen and elastin, it is the most technologically advanced micro-needling device used by trained plastic surgeons.
Your doctor will choose to use either a cordless or corded collagen PIN equipment. The equipment comes with seven different speed options, your doctor will select one of the speed and power on the equipment to begin treatment. Your doctor will also determine the depth and the number of passes that best suits your skin concerns and then proceed to install a sterile, disposable needle cartridge that will hold 12 or 36 micro-needles that will glide across the skin mechanically while inducing micro-injury. The 12 or 36 needles during treatment will create micro-channels inducing a controlled injury thereby naturally stimulating collagen growth which results in younger and healthier-looking skin.
Will the collagen PIN procedure hurt?
Before the procedure is started your doctor will apply a numbing agent to the area being treated. Most patients say they feel little or no pain at all after the numbing cream is applied
How long will the results from the collagen PIN procedures last?
Collagen PIN generates the desired effects on the skin by stimulating growth factors and collagen, which will eventually lead to the generation of new skin cells. As our skin ages, our collagen production naturally slows down. Your overall result will last longer when using a homemade skincare product that includes a daily retinoid product. Your medical provider is best suited to make this recommendation. New collagen has been documented from just one treatment as much as one year later.
How long will it take for me to see results from my collagen PIN treatment?
Most patients report they start noticing results after just one treatment. Results vary depending on the patient’s skin health. The majority of patients start to notice results a week or two after the first treatment. However, change is normally noted within a few days.
What will I look like after my treatment?
Collagen PIN is considered a no-downtime treatment. Your skin will look red moderately, like a mild sunburn immediately after treatment. Your doctor will recommend a post-treatment routine skincare based on your particular skin type that will also help in dealing with all the redness resulting from the treatment.
Collagen pin with Factor Five
During the process of moving the Collagen PIN across the skin, numerous microchannels are generated per second. These microchannels will stimulate the ability of the skin to heal naturally, causing it to create new skin cells. The rejuvenation process, inducing Collagen, starts instantly. The Fibroblasts, which are the cells that create new collagen, are active for about twelve months after just a session of Collagen PIN treatment. The New collagen, as well as elastin, create plumper, younger, healthier and taut skin which helps to eliminate scars, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars thereby leaving you with a better toned and textured skin.
The Factor Five serum is made up of significantly concentrated amounts of natural growth factors, up to 350 in all. These factors derived from human stem cell are upheld by scientific research and has been proven to enhance the creation 0f dermal fibroblast in human, stimulate cytokines production as well as collagen and a variety of factors that contribute to growth, it has been established also to reverse the negative effects of Ultra Violet radiation, fend off wrinkle formation, increase cell regeneration, boosts production of collagen and synthesis and reduces formation of scar. Factor Five Stem Cells improve recovery time, allow for a more youthful glow, diminish fine lines more aggressively, reduce redness and increase skin thickness. These stem cells derived from humans significantly enhance the ability of the skin to rejuvenate.
The Advantages of Applying platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
During a micro-needling process, thousands of microscopic channels are created in the skin, making it a fertile ground for the application of substances like PRP. In order to obtain the PRP, a vial of the patient’s own blood is placed in a centrifuge, separating the blood from the platelet. The platelets are then placed in the centrifuge in order to obtain the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which has been proven by numerous research to catalyze healing and also repair all sorts of skin deficiencies from fine lines to hair loss.
Application of PRP immediately after micro-needling have been proven to be more efficient than its direct injection, due to the fact that micro-channels allow for even circulation across the area being treated and deep into the skin’s layer. PRP’s factor of growth would immediately begin work into these deep skin layers, triggering collagen growth as well as rejuvenating collagen cells.
