MMN Skin Rejuvenation

Medical Micro-needling (MMN) is a simple low cost way of improving the skin’s appearance by creating very small wounds in the skin that stimulate new collagen and elastic tissue production that thickens the skin, improves its texture and smoothes out surface wrinkles, stretch marks and scars. It is also used with minoxidil (Rogaine) to improve hair regrowth. Like ablative fractional laser treatments, the MMN creates very small skin wounds that stimulate new collagen and elastin formation. These micro wounds also can serve as conduits for skin rejuvenation products like vitamin C and tretinoin to better penetrate the skin, when applied to the surface.

The following graph from an animal study reveals how the combination of MMN and topical vitamin A and C made the skin over 6 times thicker.

The following are microscopic images, from the same animal study, that show the increase in skin thickness with MMN that is even greater when combined with daily vitamin A & C.

The following Before and After photos are from patients treated by MMN.

Types of Micro-Needling Devices

There are a number of different micro-needling devices. The rotating cylinder devices cause more gouging than the vibrating stamping devices. The stamping devices are more precise and the depth of needle penetration can be adjusted, up or down, to achieve best results on different areas on your face and elsewhere on you body. At the Rutland Skin Center we use the more precise vibrating stamping device.
