Treat Wrinkles, Pore Size, Acne and Scars with COSMOPen

COSMOpen is a non-invasive way to help treat uneven pigmentation, scarring, wrinkles, stretch marks, large pores and signs of aging.  It’s a state-of-the-art medical grade high-speed micro-needling system that can be used to treat acne and surgical scars—as well as wrinkles, stretch marks, pore size, and signs of aging. By vertically piercing the skin, COSMOPen helps naturally induce collagen production and treat pigmentation. Micro-Needling, also called “Skin Needling” or “Collagen Induction Therapy” (CIT) is a medical aesthetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (micro-needling the skin) to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen.  Queen City Plastic […]

What Is the Principle Behind Microneedling?

COSMOPen microneedling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). The idea behind CIT is similar to that of many other non-surgical skin-tightening procedures in that it aims to create a controlled Non-Thermal injury underneath the skin’s surface, thereby inducing the body to respond through the formation of new tissue layers of elastin- and collagen fibers (neo-collagenesis) as well as new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) in the treated area. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulus, ultimately reducing the appearance of scars, and fine lines and other skin texture changes. It can be used […]

Understanding Microneedling

What is Microneedling and how does it work? MicroNeedling, also called Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (microneedling the skin) to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen. Percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) therapy or medical microneedling is a technique where a fractional microneedling device with fine microneedles has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin. It helps increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s wound healing cascade (hemostasis-inflammation-proliferation-tissue remodeling). It is also considered a non-ablative skin […]

Carpal Tunnel Symptoms and Treatment

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to “shake out” the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the […]

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers (although not the little finger), as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move. The carpal tunnel – a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand – houses the median nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel […]
