Microneedling and microinfusion techniques are often confused with regard to how each are optimized for the highest efficacy when used for the purposes of skin improvement and introducing active compounds into skin. These procedures can be technique sensitive as well. Understanding skin anatomy and physiology are critical in maximizing the effects of the procedures. Multiple clinical studies have been done in laboratories with specific and proprietary combinations of ingredients and techniques, which have identified an optimized approach to microneedling and microinfusion. яндекс There are many microneedling devices on the market today, including manual microneedling, automated microneedling, scanning microneedling, microneedling with radiofrequency, and several more. Microneedling can be performed with or without the addition of serums for a variety of intended purposes. Microinfusion techniques are somewhat limited when it comes to the device itself, with several brand and generic equivalents available. Microinfusion technique can vary, but it is essentially a stamping technique that requires an infusion liquid of some type, which can include a placebo (sterilized saline solution), serums, serums with neuromuscular inhibitors, dermal fillers, topical anesthetics like lidocaine, and other skin-enhancing injectables.
