What do we need? Tiny acupuncture needles and a device called Vibrance. The device produces three types of electric current, which increases its effectiveness. During the procedure the patient does not feel any discomfort, except when applied in very sensitive body areas.
How is the technique performed? Acupuncture needles are placed in the face or body on the area being treated. Treatment means production of collagen and wrinkle filling or skin tightening without the help of any extra material, namely hyaluronic acid or threads. With the use of this technique we can make autologous threads; that is, threads made of our own collagen.
How it acts: With the help of acupuncture needles, collagen and elastin fibers can be wrapped, thus creating more tissue volume.
How it can be explained:
Our skin has several properties. One of these is viscosity or, in other words, viscoelasticity.
This means we can stretch it without tearing. For example, 10 cm of skin can be stretched to 15 cm of skin with no distortion. One such example is a pregnant woman whose belly skin, during pregnancy, expands to accommodate the fetus. In the case of needle shaping, we have a fiber micro transplant. Thus, we also have an increase in volume and formation of new collagen. The results are visible from the very first session.
A side effect is bruising in patients taking anticoagulants or fish oils. 4-6 sessions within 1-1.5 year to obtain a sustainable result and 1-2 sessions per year for maintenance will be required.
