Micro-Needling / PRP

Micro-needling with MicroPen^®

How is Micro-Needling Automated?

Automated micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy or CIT) is a revolutionary tool that can aid in reduced presence of fine lines, acne scars and enhance the skin’s entire look. During your session, the Eclipse MicroPen^® technician creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This encourages the production of collagen and elastin which helps your skin bounce or snap back into a more youthful condition. An additional benefit allows the creation of microchannels that allows penetration and absorption of topical serums, creams and gels. Slight micro-channels are created with automated micro-needling which assist with serums, creams, and gels to aid in the improvement of the skin. The Eclipse MicroPen® is the utmost state-of-the-art device on the market for medical-grade automated micro-needling and the providers at Beautologie are trained to get the optimal results.
