Would you like smoother, firmer skin with refined pores and a youthful complexion? Microneedling is one of the most effective minimally invasive procedures in aesthetic dermatology and offers you the opportunity to effectively treat various skin problems. At our luxurious Skinthetics practice in Düsseldorf, we perform this innovative treatment method using state-of-the-art equipment and the highest level of medical expertise.
Microneedling is ideal for natural skin renewal and offers a wide range of applications. Through the targeted stimulation of the body's own regeneration processes, you can expect visible improvements in your skin's appearance. Our specialist Dr. Lucija Grittern develops an individual treatment concept for each patient that is optimally tailored to their needs.
Areas of application for Microneedling treatment:
• Acne scars and other Scars
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Hyperpigmentation and age spots
• Enlarged pores
• Sagging skin and loss of elasticity
• Hair loss (alopecia)
• General skin improvement and anti-aging
Microneedling is an innovative dermatological procedure in which fine microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This minimally invasive treatment method uses the body's natural wound healing response to activate skin regeneration. The microneedling pen, a precise medical instrument, allows us to individually adjust the treatment depth and target different skin layers.
The procedure is based on the principle of controlled skin injury, which triggers the body's own repair mechanisms. The fine needles of the microneedling pen create microchannels in the skin that can serve as entry points for active ingredients while stimulating Collagen and elastin production.
Microneedling works by specifically activating your skin's natural healing processes. Controlled microperforation triggers various cell renewal processes that lead to a visible improvement in the skin appearance.
First, microneedling treatment triggers a cascade of wound healing reactions. The fine injuries stimulate the release of Growth factors and promote the formation of new skin cells. At the same time, blood circulation in the treated areas is significantly improved, ensuring an optimal supply of nutrients to the skin cells.
A particularly important aspect of microneedling treatment is the stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis. These two proteins are essential for the firmness, elasticity, and structure of your skin. By specifically stimulating their regeneration, wrinkles can be reduced, skin density increased, and overall skin quality improved in the long term.
The main difference between cosmetic and medical microneedling lies in the treatment depth, the equipment used, and the medical expertise. At Skinthetics, we only perform medical microneedling, which reaches significantly deeper skin layers and thus enables more intensive results.
Cosmetic microneedling works with needle lengths of only 0.1 to 0.3 millimeters and only penetrates the superficial Stratum corneum. The effect is mainly limited to improved absorption of skin care products. Medical microneedling, on the other hand, uses needle lengths of 0.5 to 3 millimeters, reaching the deeper layers of the skin where collagen synthesis actually takes place.
Thanks to her extensive medical training, our expert Dr. Lucija Grittern can precisely determine the treatment depth and develop individual treatment protocols. This ensures both maximum effectiveness and the highest level of safety throughout the entire microneedling treatment.
Dr. Lucija Grittern has over 18 years of top-level training, from the University of Edinburgh to clinical placements in London and Charité, to international training highlights in Los Angeles and Brazil. Her expertise is backed up by specialist publications, media activities, and lectures.
Since 2018, she has been fulfilling her dream with Skinthetics, offering natural, comprehensive skin health at the highest level in Düsseldorf – with precision, empathy, and state-of-the-art aesthetic medicine.
Careful preparation is crucial to the success of your microneedling treatment. We begin with a detailed consultation, during which Dr. Lucija Grittern analyzes your skin and develops a customized treatment plan. We take into account your individual skin needs, existing skin problems, and your personal goals.
Before the actual treatment, we thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic cream. This microneedling treatment preparation takes about 20-30 minutes and ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. In addition, we document the initial condition of your skin so that we can optimally assess the microneedling before and after results later on.
In our first-class environment, we take the time to answer all your questions and inform you about the exact procedure. Our holistic treatment concept ensures that you feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire microneedling treatment.
The actual microneedling treatment is performed with the utmost precision and medical expertise. Dr. Lucija Grittern uses a high-quality microneedling pen that enables uniform and controlled treatment. The needle length is individually adjusted according to your skin type and the skin problems to be treated.
During the treatment, we guide the microneedling pen over the areas of skin to be treated in systematic movements. The fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the desired regeneration processes. Depending on the treatment area and desired intensity, the microneedling treatment lasts between 20 and 60 minutes.
Our patients generally describe the treatment as painless. Comfort is maximized by prior anesthesia and our gentle treatment technique. You can relax completely in our luxurious surroundings while we treat your skin professionally.
Afterwards, you will receive detailed instructions for home care from our team of experts. These include the use of special care products, sun protection measures, and rules of conduct for the first few days after treatment. Consistent sun protection is particularly important, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV radiation in the first few weeks.
In the first 24-48 hours after the Microneedling treatment, you should refrain from intense physical activity, saunas, and direct sunlight. Our team is of course available to answer any questions you may have and will monitor your healing process through follow-up checks.
Our new clinic is located just a few minutes’ walk from our previous premises. We look forward to welcoming you in a stylish, modern setting – designed for calm, comfort, and a relaxed treatment experience.
See for yourself on your next visit.
We are delighted to welcome you to our new clinic.
Microneedling is generally suitable for most skin types and age groups. The treatment is particularly suitable for people with acne scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, or general signs of skin aging. Dr. Lucija Grittern will assess whether microneedling treatment is suitable for you in a personal consultation.
The entire Microneedling treatment usually takes 45 to 90 minutes. This includes preparation with Anesthesia, the actual treatment, and final aftercare. The actual treatment time varies between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the areas to be treated.
You will notice the first improvements after just a few days. However, the full microneedling before and after results will only be visible after 4-6 weeks, as Collagen production takes time. Optimal results often only become apparent after several months.
The number of sessions required depends on your individual skin needs. For minor skin problems, 1-2 treatments may be sufficient, while for more pronounced scars or wrinkles, 3-6 sessions at intervals of 4-6 weeks are recommended.
Microneedling treatment can lead to a significant improvement in skin quality. Typical results include a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, improvement in scar structure, reduction in pore size, and firmer, smoother skin with improved radiance.
When performed professionally, microneedling is a very safe procedure. Possible temporary side effects may include slight redness, minimal swelling, or pinpoint bleeding, which usually subside within 1-3 days.
After the treatment, you should avoid intense sun exposure and consistently use sunscreen. Avoid sports, saunas, and aggressive cosmetic products for the first 48 hours. Use the recommended care products and follow our aftercare instructions.
The cost of a Microneedling treatment starts at €229. The exact price depends on the scope of treatment and the number of sessions. We will be happy to provide you with an individual cost estimate during a personal consultation.
