Cellulite

Cellulite is a permanent change in the fat that is stored under your skin. We all have some body fat - even skinny models - so we're all susceptible to cellulite, as we get older. You can sometimes spot it on women who otherwise appear very youthful or slim.

In cellulite, the thin layer of tissue between the fat cells (often just a few cells thick) becomes more fibrous - like a scar. The fibrous areas start to pull together around the fat, causing the tiny dimples and irregularities typical of cellulite.

Hormonal factors
The formation of cellulite is closely linked to the effects of hormones in the body, especially the female sex hormones. When levels of hormones change dramatically - such as at puberty and during pregnancy - something causes cellulite to be laid down. Many women find the condition gets much worse after having children; yet another rarely mentioned burden of pregnancy!

Lots of dry skin brushing to the affected areas at home.
Apply cellulite creams in a strong, upwards motion to stimulate the circulation.
Exercise 2-3 times a week
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
Eat a well balanced diet
Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day

SAFE, SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT

Unsightly scars appear less obvious
Helps to smooth away wrinkles, line, folds and skin ageing related concerns
Dramatically increased absorption of active ingredients
Efficacy of active skincare products maximised

Skin needling works through two modes of action:

The needles penetrate through the skin to provide micro-channels to maximise the absorption of the topically applied skincare product

The micro-channels induce independent stimulation of new collagen and elastin synthesis, resulting from the skin�s natural healing response. Ultimately, skin strength, structure and resilience
Similar results to Laser resurfacing, Fraxel and chemical peels with a broad range of advantages and benefits:

•Suitable for all skin types
•Does not induce skin sensitivity to UV light
•Personal models are painless and can be used at home.
•Does not cause skin damage (no ablation/removal of the epidermis)
•Can be used on any other parts of the body requiring treatment
•Cost effective treatment alternative
•Short or no healing time
•Easy and safe to use
•The only skin needling device comprised of precision engineered titanium needles that deliver the most pain-free treatment experience from the very first use to the very last.

Both the Titanium Dermaroller and Titanium Dermastamp can be re-used for up to six months making it an extremely cost effective alternative to many cosmetic treatments.

What is the Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller?
The Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller is a multipurpose device used for the treatment of various skin conditions such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, cellulite and stretch marks.

It has a cylindrical barrel with precision engineered titanium microneedles which penetrate the top layers of skin without causing damage or bleeding.

How does it work?

The procedure involved in treatment with the Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller and Titanium Dermastamp is commonly known as Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy and is designed to trigger new collagen synthesis in the skin, leading to younger, brighter and healthier-looking skin. As you roll or stamp the device over your skin, numerous, ultra-fine micro-needles designed to penetrate through the epidermis create microscopic punctures on the skin�s surface. By opening the skin in this way you not only dramatically increase the penetration of any topical product, increasing its efficacy, but you also create miniature perforations that stimulate the skin�s healing mechanisms, increasing production of many important factors for a healthy skin.

The concept of Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy is based on the skin�s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage, such as cuts, burns and other abrasions. Immediately after an injury occurs to the skin, our body reuses the damaged collagen and elastin fibres as well as other damaged skin components to produce new ones. Skin Needling allows for controlled induction of the skin�s self repair mechanism by creating micro-�injuries� in the skin which trigger new collagen synthesis, yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring.

What can it do for me?
Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller and Titanium Dermastamp dramatically enhance the penetration of active ingredients from your topical creams and serums, leading to a massive increase in their efficacy.

The Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller and Titanium Dermastamp in conjunction with Medik8 cosmeceuticals stimulates new collagen production, thereby leading to a visible reduction of wrinkles and scars, as well as increase in skin firmness. Thickening of the skin caused by regular use of the Medik8 Titanium Skin Needling device significantly reduces the visibility of broken capillaries as well as uneven pigmentation.

Expect to see a visible improvement in skin appearance after just one month of regular use of the device.

What happens post treatment?

When used as directed, the Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller or Titanium Dermastamp will cause no or only small marks, and the marks will fade in just a few hours. Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller or Titanium Dermastamp treatments may cause a flush to your skin that will fade in a few hours, but will leave no long-lasting redness. The Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller and Titanium Dermastamp available in 0.2mm and 0.3mm for home use, have sharp, durable titanium needles that do not cause appreciable pain or bleeding.

Is skin needling safe?

Skin needling does not involve injections and therefore allergic reactions and side-effects are unlikely. It is minimally invasive, involves minimal or no downtime, rapid healing and requires simple aftercare.
