Medical Microneedling
Who can take the Medical Microneedling course?
This course is open to qualified dental, medical & nursing professionals, as well as estheticians and appropriate clinical delegates who work under the care of a medical or dental director as a trained technician. The equipment trained on are all Health Canada (Class 2) & FDA approved devices which include surgical-grade sterile needles to create micro-channels up to 2.0mm in the dermis.
What are the benefits of medical microneedling treatment?
Medical microneedling uses an automated device to increase the absorption of cosmeceutical solutions by 3,000 times. The treatment can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, rejuvenate skin with comprehensive improvement of skin tone and texture, minimize stretch marks, restore youth by effectively tightening, lifting and thickening the skin, improve the appearance of scars, reduce pore size and can deliver visible results painlessly and safely with little to no down time.
What does a typical microneedling session cost? How many sessions will a patient require?
A typical medical microneedling treatment costs the patient $499. In the beginning, three to six treatments are recommended, and then on-going sessions every month (or as recommended) for maintenance.
What are the requirements for the microneedling hands-on?
Each attendee is responsible for providing a minimum of one patient model for the microneedling hands-on session. A professional courtesy of $225 is provided for each model having treatment.
What sort of revenue opportunity for my practice does microneedling provide?
After training, your initial investment for a Health Canada approved medical microneedling device is approximately $4,615. This includes the InnoPen microneedling pen device, as well as the consumables for 10 treatments. We recommended each treatment be billed out at $499. The cost for consumables is approximately $80 per treatment, plus labour. Your overall investment can be paid for in less than 13 treatments.
How much does the equipment cost?
The cost of the different microneedling technologies and manufacturers is reviewed in the online course. PTIFA does not sell or distribute any of the microneedling devices or disposables, however participants can expect to purchase a device for ~$4,500 (which often includes disposables for approximately your first 10 treatments) after training.
Can a physician or dentist delegate treatment to a staff member?
Yes, however treatment must be provided by a qualified medical, dental or qualified skin therapist, including aestheticians.
