Microneedling and melasma: delivering successful patient solution

We are pleased to announce the Published Double Peer Reviewed Article by Dr Andrew R. Christie in "Journal of Aesthetic Nursing" (JOAN) Magazine on the subject "Microneedling and melasma: delivering successful patient solutions"

What’s It About?

This innovative paper explores the aetiology and pathophysiology of melasma. Learn about the melanogenesis process and how micro needling can promote re-balance and regulation. This in-depth article further assesses why micro needling is so effective for this recalcitrant condition and how the application of topical pigment blockers can further enhance treatment outcomes. Clinical studies from Brazil, Italy and Australia prove treatment success and patient satisfaction.
 
Why It Is Important?

Recalcitrant melasma is arguably one of the most challenging indications for treatment by aesthetic practitioners. This innovative paper looks to micro needling as an uncommon, but highly successful patient solution. By contrast with many other modalities, micro needling offers safe and effective treatment parameters and protocols without thermolysis or ablation of the skin. This enables safe treatment on all Fitzpatrick skin types and heritages. Micro needling furthermore offers a longer term management of the condition via the release of regulatory growth factors to treat the very source of the issue. Treatment is fast, affordable and comfortable for the patient with no major downtime.
 
Perspectives

As a micro needling expert, I have seen phenomenal success with the treatment and long term management of melasma. All of my patients report visual correction of this condition upon completion of a treatment programme. Because there is no heat produced during a micro needling procedure and the epidermis remains in-tact, this is a risk-free procedure suitable for all ethnicities. There is no skin I have come across which has not been eligible for such treatment. I encourage patients to enahnce and maintain results with the daily application of topical pigment blockers and sunscreen.
