• Atrophic post-acne scars.
• Uneven surface and rough skin texture.
• Fine lines.
• Visibly enlarged pores.
• Age-related changes in skin quality.
• Skin photoaging.

For pigmentation, melasma and pronounced sensitivity, the possibility of performing the procedure is assessed individually. Deep scars may require a combination of several methods. The procedure is not performed over active inflammatory breakouts.

After microneedling, redness, a feeling of warmth, sensitivity, tightness and mild swelling are possible. Dryness and light flaking may appear later. Reactions usually subside gradually within a few days but may persist longer. Recovery time depends on the treatment parameters and individual skin characteristics.

During the recovery period:

• Use only products recommended by the specialist.
• Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds for 2 weeks. Agree on the timing for starting SPF and the appropriate product with your specialist.
• Temporarily exclude acids, retinoids, scrubs and other irritating products.
• Do not rub the skin or remove flaking skin yourself.
• Avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours.
• Do not visit saunas for one week.
• Avoid intensive facial treatments for two weeks.
• Coordinate other aesthetic procedures with your specialist.

Do not schedule microneedling immediately before an important event.

In case of increasing pain, pronounced swelling or other unusual reactions, contact your specialist.

The result is assessed after the skin has recovered. Changes in its structure continue over the following 6-8 weeks. The intensity and durability of the effect are individual.

The procedure is not performed in the following conditions:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Blood clotting disorders.
• Active infection, including herpes, in the treatment area.
• Open wounds, damage and pronounced skin irritation.
• Active inflammatory breakouts in the treatment area.
• Active skin cancer in the treatment area.
• Allergy to needle materials or components of the products used.
• Current isotretinoin use.
• Acute inflammatory processes in the body or cold symptoms (runny nose, cough, sore throat, etc.).

Before the procedure, be sure to inform the specialist about recent isotretinoin use, anticoagulants and other medications, diabetes, healing disorders, tendency to keloid scarring, as well as recent peels, laser and other aesthetic procedures. These circumstances require individual assessment.

Before the procedure, the specialist will assess the condition of your skin, clarify your medical history and explain the expected results or limitations.

1. Skin assessment and consultation

The specialist clarifies your wishes, health status, medications you take and previous procedures. The specialist selects the areas and treatment parameters.

2. Pre-cleansing

Makeup, impurities and residue of skincare products are removed from the skin.

3. Anesthesia and preparation

If necessary, a local anesthetic is applied. It is then completely removed and the skin is prepared for microneedling.

4. SkinPen microneedling

The specialist sequentially treats the selected areas with a sterile single-use needle cartridge. Controlled microneedle action triggers the skin's natural repair processes.

5. GF5 growth factor serum

After SkinPen treatment, CELLDERMA GF5 serum with five growth factors, peptides and hydrating components is applied to the skin surface.

6. Hydrogel mask

A deeply hydrating and soothing hydrogel mask is applied for additional hydration and skin comfort.

7. Completion and recommendations

The specialist selects the finishing care and provides recommendations for the recovery period: cleansing, hydration, sun protection and returning to your usual products.

During the procedure, temporary microchannels are formed that increase skin permeability and facilitate the penetration of the components of applied products. After microneedling, CELLDERMA GF5 is applied to the skin surface – a concentrated serum with five growth factors and copper tripeptide GHK-Cu. Growth factors participate in the signaling processes of epidermal renewal, tissue repair and the work of fibroblasts – the cells that form the skin's collagen framework. Growth factors are signaling proteins identical to those produced in our body. They participate in the natural processes of skin regeneration. With age, the production of growth factors in the body decreases and, accordingly, natural skin repair slows down. Damage related to sun exposure and other environmental factors accumulates, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles, loss of firmness and changes in skin texture. Growth factors help maintain the natural processes of local skin regeneration and renewal characteristic of a young body, helping to reduce the visible signs of aging.

Copper tripeptide GHK-Cu complements the complex by supporting collagen and elastin synthesis, renewal of the extracellular matrix and natural skin repair. Its action is associated with improved firmness and texture, reduced visibility of fine lines and antioxidant protection. The formula is enhanced by the soothing peptide Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8, two neuropeptides for expression line care, calcium alpha-hydroxymethionine and homotaurine. Five ceramides, cholesterol and hyaluronic acid help strengthen the protective barrier and retain moisture.
