Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT)
Ideal Face & Body is excited for our addition of a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, done by a doctor, the Eclipse MicroPen® is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to naturally produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in improvement of the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels which can be used with topical gels, creams and serums to help improve the appearance of the epidermal layer of the skin. Eclipse MicroPen® is the most advanced medical-grade automated micro-needling device on the market.

How Is MicroPen® Different From Dermal Needling Rollers?
Automated micro-needling devices, only available through a medical office, move in a vertical direction for better precision when treating the skin. Unlike Automated Micro-needling, the roller does not create a precise vertical action. The lack of precision can contribute to greater discomfort, skin tearing and inconsistent effects to the skin.
How Is MicroNeedling Different From Lasers?
Unlike lasers, Eclipse MicroPen® breaks up pigment mechanically and stimulates the collagen formation without heat. Removing heat from the equation makes for a safer, more comfortable treatment with a very low complication rate. No heat also equals less downtime and it’s safe for all skin-tones! Most patients are red for 24 hours or less. That advantage means you can get the procedure performed on a Friday and be back to work on Monday.
How Is The Procedure Done?
A sterile cartridge containing 12 tiny micro-points is attached to the Eclipse MicroPen®. After numbing cream is applied to make the procedure comfortable, Dr. Yovino will apply a thin layer of topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment setting based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding until the entire treatment area has been covered. This process results in thousands of superficial microscopic channels throughout the entire treatment area.

Dr. Sarah Yovino MD of Ideal Face and Body in Beverly Hills demonstrates a safe medical grade facial using microneedling and PRP platelet rich plasma. This procedure reverses the signs of aging and leads to decreased pore size, improved skin texture and tone, and increased collagen production to name some. This procedure is performed comfortably in the office with topical numbing cream. There is minimal downtime usually just for the day of the procedure. You will start enjoying the results within days.
