The Concise Guide to DERMAL NEEDLING (Medical edition)
is a valuable resource for any practitioner interested in the specifics of the skin rejuvenation modality of dermal needling.
Dermal Needling (or rolling) is quickly becoming the skin rejuvenation modality of choice for many aware aesthetic skin care practitioners around the world.  In the face of so many high profile modalities, such as lasers and other micro-injury techniques that can deliver less than optimal results, dermal needling is providing, in many cases, equal or better results with less cost and effort.
 
Find out why Dermal Needling is the only rejuvenation treatment that maximizes penetration of essential cell nutrients and maximizes release of growth factors associated with the positive aspects of wound healing simultaneously. 
 
Discover why
Dermal Needling eliminates the risk of melanocyte heat injury and actually optimises cell function, making it the ideal treatment for all skin types.

This book provides a concise guide to this exceptional modality, explaining everything a practitioner needs to know about the how’s, why’s, and when’s of dermal needling.
