edermastamp microneedling

Microneedling also referred to as collagen induction therapy is one the most effective treatments to improve the skin's appearance by treating signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, lax skin, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, scarring and hair loss. Surgical grade microneedles painlessly puncture the skin to generate the body's natural wound healing response through the release of growth factors and cytokines. Old collagen and elastin fibers are reorganized and new fibers are formed. 

Less is more and safety is of the utmost importance. There are an abundance of devices boasting features such as high needle counts and cordless capabilities and devices which are not Health Canada certified.

eDermaStamp is the original device of its kind. It was designed with an optimal needle count of 6 non-traumatic microneedles penetrating the skin at 150 strokes per second. The corded power output is consistent to ensure the highest performance in comparison to battery operated devices which can result in unwanted micro tears, scratching of the skin and increased risk of infection. The treatment is non ablative whereas other modalities destroy tissues, are painful, incur higher risks and require significant downtime for healing. This device is proven truly effective and safe when operated by a trained professional backed by experience! 

Zensa 5% lidocaine numbing cream is applied to cleansed skin to ensure comfort. The only sensation you should experience during treatment is a soft feathering motion on the skin while pure hyaluronic acid is infused by eDermaStamp® to enrich the skin and promote collagen production.
A Dermaroller® silk mask drenched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and Matrixyl peptides is applied to reduce redness and infuse the skin with moisture to speed up recovery and ensure post treatment comfort.
You may experience some tightness and warmth compared to a sunburn like sensation for a day or two.  Some individuals experience peeling for a few days. This is a normal response resulting from enhanced exfoliation benefits.
