MNT cartridges 12 P / 10 pcs. Per box

SKIN NEEDLING

– Regenerative and regenerating effect
– not degenerative like laser, radio frequency, plasma-pen or
Thermage -> “healthier” (especially for mature skin)

– Stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration
– Promotes collagen synthesis (type III & IV)
– Promotes blood circulation and nutrient absorption
– Improves skin texture
– Reduces skin abnormalities (scars, hyperpigmentation)

bdr MNT Cartridge 12P STRONG

– 12 thin needles with a high penetration depth
for amazing results
– Minimally invasive needling: low penetration
depth, short needle, apply no pressure
– Invasive needling: higher penetration depth,
apply more pressure
– Suitable for insensitive skin
– Suitable for resilient skin, normal skin and
scars

Invasive needling causes microlesions in the dermis

– Promotes collagen synthesis
– Effectively stimulates wound healing
– Percutaneous collagen induction (PCI)
– Intensively reduces wrinkles and scars using PCI
– Growth factors initiate skin regeneration
– No risk of pigmentation disorders or infection-related wound healing
disorders
– Apply primarily with the MNT module 12

– Low speed: increased intensity; increased dwell time of the needle in
the skin; more painful
– High speed: decreased dwell time of the needle in the skin; less painful

DERMATOLOGY

Minimally invasive and invasive needling (also known as microneedling)
uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.
From a dermatological point of view, the following processes occur:

1. Skin punctures: needles penetrate both top layers (epidermis) and/or
underlying layers of the skin (dermis) causing controlled punctures

2. “Inflammatory” reaction: these punctures trigger a natural
inflammatory reaction which releases cytokines, immune cells and
growth factors

3. Proliferation: the release of growth factors and cytokines promotes cell
division and fibroblasts, which are responsible for the collagen synthesis

4. Collagen and elastin synthesis: fibroblasts synthesise collagen and
elastin, two main components of the extracellular matrix responsible for
the structure and elasticity of the skin

5. Skin regeneration: the formation of new cells and the synthesis of
collagen and elastin make the skin sturdier, firmer and smoother,
resulting in an improved skin texture and a rejuvenated appearance

– Visible improvements after only a few hours
– Visible effects of Microneedling can take between 3 to 6 weeks to fully develop
– This is the period it takes to synthesis new collagen and elastin
– Multiple treatments may be necessary to treat pronounced scars or skin
disorders and to achieve optimal results
– We recommend 4 treatments every 10 – 14 days within a cure treatment for
maximum results (alternating minimal invasive and invasive)
– Repeat treatment every 4 – 6 weeks to maintain results

Effects of MNT Treatment

– Skin punctures may lead to minor bleeding
– Temporary redness
– Treated tissue feels extremely stimulated
– Downtime of 24 – 36 hours
– Increased need of care products (moisture and water)
– Treated skin is extremely thirsty (apply Recharge Products daily)
– Sensitivity to touch for several hours
– Sun sensitivity for at least 24 – 48 hours
– Minimal scabbing of sensitive skin or if skin has been treated intensively (can be
removed with an Octenisept soaked cotton pad after an hour)
– The skin may be flaky after a few days (-> apply bdr re-action at home)

Side Effects

Not every part of the face is suitable for a needling treatment:

1. Eyelids: the skin is very thin and sensitive; treatments in this area carry
an increased risk of injury especially to the cornea/eyeball

2. Lips: epithelial tissue is delicate and well perfused; this increases the
risk of bleeding and adverse effects
Tip: needling the vermilion border and lip lines, however, has positive
effects (special caution and superficial application only)

Caution

Not every part of the face is suitable for a needling treatment:

3. Pay attention to the arteries on the neck

4. Bony prominences are much more sensitive and increase the
penetration depth of the needle

• frontal bone
• zygomatic bone
