Microneedling (also known as Medical Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy) is a non-surgical and non-ablative procedure used to treat various skin conditions such as aging (wrinkles, stretching), scarring (acne, surgical), hyper-pigmentation, cellulite and hair loss. Microneedling technology (i.e. automated pens, rollers, etc.) use very fine, sterile needles to puncture the skin and to create micro-channels deep into the skin in order to stimulate new collagen/elastin production. The resulting micro-channels also aid in infusing therapeutic serums, allowing for greater penetration and increasing overall efficacy of active ingredients.
This Medical Microneedling course begins with a lecture introducing participants to microneedling treatment and other non-surgical facial rejuvenation technologies. Dr. Roberts will then review patient records, clinical applications and post-op instructions. A live demonstration will be provided prior to participants gaining hands-on training using the Boss Medical's InnoPen - Health Canada approved medical microneedling device. The day is completed with a certification exam.
