Discover How Electroporation Revives Your Complexion
Electroporation is like taking a supplement for your skin. Depending on the concern being treated, will determine the cocktail being infused, with the end result for your skin to thrive, giving glowing, hydrated and healthy skin.
Even though Electroporation is not a new treatment, it continues to grow in popularity largely due to the medical-grade serums infused into the skin and the results they provide. This treatment can increase collagen synthesis, reducing fine lines, acne scarring, pigmentation, surgical scars and dark circles. To maximize results, it is important how you care for the skin after the procedure.
Electroporation is a cosmetic treatment that can rejuvenate the skin depending on the serums being used. The treatment was first developed in the early 1950s by a French doctor, Michael Pistor, to relieve pain, but is now used extensively for various cosmetic treatments for both men and women.
Electroporation rejuvenates the skin from the inside out to improve the overall complexion and health of the skin. It involves using fine micro-needles to infuse the medical-grade serum into the middle layer of the skin, the mesoderm. Electroporation involves delivering active ingredients such as peptides, amino acids, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and anti-aging solutions.
Using micro-fine needles with a depth of .8mm, right up to 2.5mm will assist the cocktail infusion. There may be some redness and even slight bruising for a few days post-procedure. Depending on what is being treated will determine the frequency of the treatments. The severity of the concern to be treated will determine the number of treatments, normally 3 treatments and could be as many as 6 spaced 2-3 weeks apart. As we are continuing to age, and this process does not stop, regular treatment is recommended to maintain the results achieved. Treatments are always tailored for each client’s specific concerns and may be combined with other skin treatments to attain the desired result. To achieve the optimum result, a good home care program is essential.
Due to the microscopic punctures in the skin, which assist with product absorption and collagen synthesis activation, there is controlled wounded tissue. This means correct aftercare is critical to ensure the skin heals in a healthy way. We need to reduce the risk of complications and or potential scarring. Post Electroporation there can be redness, swelling, inflammation, bruising and some flaking. Feeding and nourishing the skin with ingredients like epidermal growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) are necessary.
A skin rehab home care regime will provide the perfect post-procedure cocktail. A gentle cleanser used morning and night to assist with lifting impurities and protecting against dehydration is the first step. This is followed by the use of a gentle toning lotion and gauze to assist with the sloughing action of dry skin. The next step is to apply a growth factor serum. This is a lightweight gel, which will increase fibroblast activity, promoting healing and tissue regeneration. Therapy E will protect against free radical damage and provide hydration to the tissue. After any cosmetic skin treatment TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) is a possibility and hyaluronic acid will reduce this and provide hydration. Always remember the more hydrated the skin is before and after treatment, the better the healing process and the better and more sustained the results will be.
