What is automated Micro-Needling?

Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Epidermal Collagen Induction Therapy or ECIT) is a new innovation in esthetic medicine for the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and the improvement of the skin’s texture, tone and colour. During this procedure, the EVO Micropen is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to aid in the production of collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles. EVO Micropen also creates micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing the effects in deeper layers of the skin.

What are the benefits?

  • Reduction in the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
  • Improved skin tone and texture
  • Softer, younger looking skin with fewer signs of aging
  • Natural collagen Induction
  • Minimizes Pore Size
  • Reduce Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
  • Improve the appearance of acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks
  • Minimal Downtime

What areas of the body can I treat?

EVO Micropen can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back. How is the procedure done? A sterile cartridge containing 12 tiny micro-points is attached to the EVO Micropen. Your skin-care professional will apply sterile saline to your skin and select the appropriate pen position based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.

What does it feel like?

The feeling associated with the EVO Micropen is similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating tip makes the treatment more comfortable. How long does the procedure take? The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.

What is the downtime?

Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the pen position used and the number of overlapping passes your skin-care professional performs. On average, patients experience redness for 2-4 days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.

When will I see the results?

Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment. How many treatments will I need? Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. For patients with more significant skin-care concerns, such as acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 4-6 week intervals.
