In this article, I will introduce you to rejuvenation with Electroneedling, which offers a simple and effective way to achieve beautiful, youthful skin. This innovative method has gained popularity for its ability to improve skin texture and appearance.
Having smooth, wrinkle-free skin has always been a concern for many people. In recent years, methods such as microneedling have become widely popular, with many people turning to these solutions to achieve glowing, youthful skin.
Microneedling is a type of skin exfoliation that partially fulfills the dream of youthful, rejuvenated skin. This non-invasive technique uses tiny needles to create microscopic holes in the skin, which stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation.
One of the most advanced tools for skin rejuvenation is the Electroneedling device (EPN), which incorporates the latest technology to enhance skin rejuvenation results.
The Electroneedling EPN device is a new generation of medical technology and a powerful alternative to older techniques like traditional microneedling. With its advanced electrical stimulation system and penetration depth of up to 4 mm, this device increases drug absorption, which ultimately enhances the effectiveness of treatments.
The EPN microneedling device uses sterile cartridges equipped with 9 ultra-fine needles (with a maximum needle diameter of 33 gauge). This design ensures that the procedure causes minimal bleeding and inflammation compared to traditional microneedling, and the recovery process is significantly faster.
For those looking to combine additional skincare treatments, Hydrafacial is another advanced facial treatment that complements electoneedling for enhanced skin rejuvenation.

If you are looking for other hair-related solutions, Mesotherapy is an effective treatment that can improve hair health.
Features of the EPN electroneedling device
- With electroporation: Electroporation is an electric current with high voltage that affects the dermis area.
- Being calibrated: Most devices are slippery in the cartridges, causing the needles to deviate when entering the tissue; but the EPN device does this with utmost precision and delicacy.
- Having a color monitor: With a monitor, you can adjust the capabilities of the device.
How to Rejuvenate with Electroneedling
After careful disinfection of the treated area, the treatment begins. Multiple needles pierce the skin in multiple directions. The correct penetration depth of these needles is crucial.
If the puncture is too deep, the recovery time will be longer, and if the treatment is too superficial, the skin cannot be stimulated enough. The depth of treatment depends on the skin area.
Since the depth of penetration of the EPN device is adjustable, it is possible to precisely adjust the length of the needle for each area.
For rejuvenation, a combination of treatments can be beneficial, such as PRP for added collagen production and healing.
Procedures before electro needling
- A sensitivity test (patch test) must be performed before the first treatment. Delivering too much energy to the treatment site can lead to thermal damage to the skin, which ultimately leads to hypertrophy, atrophy, or abnormal pigmentation.
- The new settings, apart from the pre-set parameters for the next treatment, should be based on the patient’s skin condition and clinical findings from the previous treatment.
- If you are taking specific medication or have a history of illness or drug allergy, discuss the issues with your doctor before performing this technique.
- If you have a blood clotting problem and take blood clotting medication, inform your doctor.
- Stop taking exfoliating medications 3 weeks before electro needling.
- Avoid fat injection and Botox 2 to 3 weeks before the procedure.

Care after electro needling
- It is better not to take a shower for 8 hours and then only wash with cold water.
- Do not wear makeup and do not use colored sunscreen for 48 hours.
- Avoid contact with the sun, and if you do, use the appropriate amount of sunscreen.
- Use prescription creams regularly.
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs without a doctor’s prescription.
- Avoid picking and handling the created wounds.
- Avoid going to the sauna and swimming pool for two weeks.

Contraindications for facial electro needling
- Patients who have a cardiac pacemaker (cardiac battery) or other active implants near the face and neck should not be treated with EPN.
- EPN should never be used near open and healing wounds.
- It is prohibited to use in patients who have metal or accessory or artificial pacemaker, etc.
- It is prohibited to use in children or pregnant women, people with heart diseases, skin diseases, and abnormal blood pressure.
- Treatment is not recommended for patients who are prone to excessive scarring. The same applies to patients with infectious diseases and when taking blood thinners. Acutely inflamed or scarred skin should also not be treated, for example in the case of skin herpes, pustules, sunburn, or other acute infections or injuries.
For alternative treatments, Plasmage might be something to consider.
Side effects of facial electro needling
The EPN device has a very low recovery time, and only the following may be observed:
- A bruise
- Exudation from wounds
- Redness
- Swelling
- There is also a risk that the wounds caused by the needles will become scarred.
- This area may be red and inflamed for a few days after the operation. It is better to avoid manipulating the treated area.
