From the age of 18, our skins collagen production decreases by at least 1% per year, reducing by a staggering 30% by the time we reach 48. For women a further 30% of collagen is lost in the first five years following menopause.
As we age, our skin has fewer dermal fibroblasts and the ones we have will operate less efficiently. This causes the production and replacement of collagen, elastic and hyaluronic acid to decrease resulting in our skin gradually losing its ‘youthful glow’ and smooth, firm appearance.
In addition, external factors like UV radiation also contribute - by up to 80% - to the deleveopment of skin ageing. This combined with pollution and cigarette smoking, serve to accelerate the natural ageing process.
Professional skin needling is a front line aesthetic treatment which treats-
During the procedure, thousands of controlled needle columns penetrate the skin to stimulate a wound healing response in the epidermis and dermis. What this does is allow the skin to naturally regenerate and repair, which results in a smoother, brighter and healthier looking complexion.
There are two eDS treatments available Revitalise & Regenerate
eDS Revitalise is the perfect treatment if you’re looking for a more youthful complexion, but don’t want the downtime or time commitment of a more intensive treatment. With a short needle length it targets the epidermis, the top layer of skin to leave it:
Because the needle length used during the treatment is short (up to 0.3mm) there’s no need for topical anaesthetic. With minimal discomfort and downtime it’s perfect for those who have time pressures but want to see a change in their skin, specifically a brighter, more youthful complexion.
eDS Revitalise uses the leading electronically powered Electro Derma Stamp device to stimulate the epidermis, allowing your practitioner to control the intensity and needle length throughout the procedure to maximise results.
During the procedure a hydrating serum will be applied while the handpiece of the device is moved across the skin. This serum not only enhances the results of the procedure but also allows the handpiece to glide smoothly across your skin.
You’ll feel vibration of the handpiece and a slight prickling sensation, which is perfectly comfortable. You should expect your overall appointment to last around 60 minutes.
The recommended treatment course is 3 treatments at a minimum of 4 weeks apart.
After Treatment-
After the treatment your skin will appear red like it’s a little sunburnt, but most of this will subside within a few hours, with only light flushing the following day.
Before you leave your practitioner will apply Heliocare® sunscreen to your skin. This provides broad spectrum UVA | UVB protection for your skin as well as a whole host of antioxidants and DNA repair enzymes to further protect your skin. It’s important to continue to use Heliocare every morning to provide ongoing protection and skin ageing prevention.
eDS Regenerate targets both the epidermis and dermis (the top and lower level of your skin).
With minimal downtime it’s a fantastic rejuvenating treatment that will change your skin leaving it:
It can even help to improve the appearance of acne scarring and stretch marks!
Because the treatment uses longer needle lengths than the EDS Revitalise treatment (0.3-1.5mm), your skin will be numbed using a topical anaesthetic before the treatment is started. This makes it a perfectly comfortable treatment with minimal downtime. It’s the perfect way to get long-lasting, natural results in rejuvenation!
Before your treatment is started your skin will be numbed with topical anaesthetic, so you’ll remain comfortable throughout. The actual treatment will take around 30 minutes depending on the area of skin that’s being treated – overall your appointment is likely to last just one hour – nothing when you consider the results that you’ll see! The recommended treatment course is usually three treatments at about six weeks apart, although up to 5 treatments may be recommended for acne scarring and stretch marks.
After treatment-
After the treatment your skin will remain red, looking a lot like moderate sunburn, for around 24-36 hours. Your practitioner will apply Control Tactics™, a soothing and calming gel, following your procedure, you can continue to use this at home until the redness subsides.
It’s also very important to use Heliocare® sunscreen every morning. This provides broad spectrum UVA|UVB protection for your skin as well as a whole host of antioxidants and DNA repair enzymes to further protect your skin.
