Environ Micro Needling, also known as Collagen Stimulation Therapy, is an advanced facial, aimed to tighten, brighten, firm and reduce skins impurities. It works by stimulating the skin at a dermal level encouraging regeneration and repair to the area.
It is superior to other treatments such as laser, chemical peels and dermabrasion as it does not destroy upper layers of the skin; instead it induces collagen synthesis by creating micro punctures in the epidermis without compromising its integrity. The treatment promotes low risk and minimal down time.
How will it benefit my skin?
This treatment is a less invasive alternative to small face lifts and eye lifting procedures as it firms and tightens the skin. With the pre and post use of the Environ Skin range rich in vitamins A, C and E the epidermis will thicken and the dermal compactness will be enhanced. As a result it will smooth out any lines or wrinkling. The treatment is far less invasive to collagen injections or other dermal fillers.
It will reduce scars and skin damage caused by acne, chicken pox, hyper pigmentation and stretch marks.
During this painless revolutionary procedure, your skincare professional will apply topical anaesthetic and will use a small instrument containing tiny needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the lower levels of your skin. This causes a minimal amount of bleeding that stops within minutes. After the treatment your practitioner will cleanse your skin and apply nourishing vitamins A and C which greatly enhances the results as Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ sets up growth ‘factories’ in your skin. The vitamins are pictured as the workers in these factories and they will continue to benefit your skin for months after treatment.
You will notice that you look flushed, as if you have sunburn, but this will fade over the next 2-3 days.
Before Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ we recommend that you:
- Build up the highest level of Environ ® Vitamins A and C that your skin can tolerate as minimum, you will have to be used to AVST 1 for at least 3 weeks.
- Support your skin from within by taking supplements containing skin nutrients.
- Use the Environ ® Cosmetic Roll-CIT™ or Focus-CIT™ before and after Collagen Stimulation Therapy™. These can be used two days after treatment or as soon as your skin feels comfortable and will ensure that higher doses of the active ingredients penetrate your skin.
Independent research by Dr Matthius Aust at Hanover Medical School shows that natural growth factors in the skin are stimulated by:-
- Topical Vitamin A
- Skin Needling PCIT
And that you get a:-
22% increase in thickness of epidermis over 8 weeks due to topical vitamins
alone
100% increase in thickness of epidermis over 8 weeks due to needling alone
140% increase in thickness of epidermis over 8 weeks due to needling and
topical vitamins
So we can show that using the Environ products alongside professional needling, we can achieve a greater improvement to the skin than needling alone.
How many treatments will I need?
Most people will need approx 3 treatments to achieve the best results but more severe cases of acne, pigmentation and stretch marks could need up to 6 treatments.
