What is it

A modern device used for microneedle mesotherapy. The essence of treatment is the insertion of the appropriate substance through a series of shallow, superficial punctures, using a specialized head. The head automatically punctures the skin with a dozen pulsating micro-needles made of surgical steel. The needles penetrate to a depth of 0.5 mm to 2 mm, which allows the insertion of active substances into the skin. Each time the procedure is performed using a sterile disposable head. Treatments are used both for prophylactic purposes and in the treatment of existing lesions.
