The essence of the microneedle redermalization procedure and its effect on the skin

I.V.: The procedure is based on medical microneedling – controlled puncture of the skin with needles of various lengths to reach the dermal layer.

It is there that the most significant processes associated with aging occur – a decrease in the qualitative and quantitative cell pool and depletion of the intercellular matrix of the skin.

As a result of the natural reaction of the skin to injury, growth factors are released, fibroblasts are activated, which is accompanied by the synthesis of new collagen and elastin. In addition, medical microneedling allows intradermal delivery of active ingredients, hyaluronic acid and sodium succinate.

Microneedle redermalization of the skin of various parts of the body – a unique procedure for rejuvenation and natural skin renewal, combining the benefits of classic microneedling and the restorative effect of redermalization.

Microneedle redermalization is performed using a specially designed PERFOSKIN complex, consisting of Perfoskin Device - a sterile disposable medical device that provides mechanical action, and PERFOSKIN Prederm – a medical product containing 5 ml of active ingredients (0.55% hyaluronic and succinic acid).

The duration of the course of microneedle redermalization of the skin of various parts of the body is determined individually, depending on the specific problem, the current condition and the desired result. On average, it ranges from two to eight procedures.

Results of a study on the effectiveness of the microneedle redermalization procedure

In order to study and evaluate the effectiveness of the microneedle redermalization procedure using PERFOSKIN Complex from the Institute Hyalual, a clinical study was conducted, which involved 20 women aged 29 to 62 years. Each of the patients underwent a course of 6–8 procedures (depending on the problem) with an interval of 9 ± 1 days between visits.

For an objective assessment of the condition of the skin of the problem area, a dermoscopic examination was used, as well as a pathohistological assessment of biopsy samples in separate groups (patients with striae).
