3 experts in medical aesthetics tell about their experience with Needle Shaping

  • Alessandro Giordani
  • February 2, 2022

Needle Shaping® is a technology developed by GMV and contained in Plexr® Vecron device.

Through Needle Shaping® a mix of currents – imperceptible to the patient but capable of producing regenerative effects on collagen – are introduced into the skin through thin acupuncture needles. Thus, a bio-regeneration, lifting and modeling of volumes takes place in a completely natural and autologous way.

Needle Shaping® is particularly indicated for: natural increase in facial volumes; correction of expression lines; skin texture improvement, lifting regenerative effect.

Results are comparable to those obtained through the use of fillers or threads, without the need to introduce any substance into the body.

We have spoken to three specialists in the field of Aesthetic Medicine to learn more about their use and experience of our Plexr® Vecron. Here is what they have to say about Needle Shaping.

Tell us about a patient that you treated: age, skin type, main problems.

Recently I treated a woman, 59 years old with facial skin relaxation and grade II photoaging.

Why did you choose Needle Shaping treatment for this patient?

The patient did not intend to undergo invasive surgery (facelifts).

What has Needle Shaping added to your daily medical practice?

The possibility of treating patients who do not intend to inject drugs or devices to control the effects of aging both as a revitalization and as a lifting effect.

Do you suggest this technology to your colleagues?

I believe that such a technology should be part of the equipment of every aesthetic doctor who wants to develop their business and differentiate themselves.

Tell us about a patient that you treated: age, skin type, main problems

The average age of the patients I treat ranges from 40 years upwards, with more or less obvious skin laxity problems on the face. However, I propose this treatment to all patients who come to my medical office interested in a facelift. Obviously, the younger the patient, the faster the results are obtained: with advancing age there is greater skin laxity and therefore more sessions are required to obtain results. But this is true both for Needle Shaping and for most medical-aesthetic treatments. It is a bit like going to the gym: for the same work, the results will not be the same for a twenty-year-old boy compared to a sixty-year-old man.

Why you choose Needle Shaping treatment for this patient?

I chose Needle Shaping because, to perform a facial skin lifting treatment, it is more natural than other methods such as traction threads, which moreover can sometimes cause side effects such as fibrosis, or give a “fake” or otherwise unnatural because, pulling a lot, they can be seen in some facial expressions such as a smile.

Furthermore, it is a treatment that can also be performed on patients who have collagen diseases.

Finally, I can say that being, as I mentioned, a “natural” treatment, it is particularly suitable for patients who are approaching aesthetic medicine treatments for the first time, who are often more afraid of being injected with some substance and/or material. inside the skin.

What has Needle Shaping added to your daily medical practice?

First of all, it is a new service that I offer to patients who are happy with both the treatment and the results; moreover, this method was not known in my territory (Sicily), so it brought a particular innovation. Furthermore, by combining Needle Shaping with O.F.F. (other technology present in the Plexr® Vecron device) I have the possibility to perform treatments – which I was not totally satisfied with before – effective as well as innovative. An example? The adipose bags, an often complicated treatment: using the filler, it must be borne in mind that after about eight months it must be removed and can cause problems in the nasolacrimal furrow; by injecting vitamin C or other lipolytic substances, side effects such as eye edema may occur. To sum up, I was not satisfied and did few treatments.

The combination of O.F.F. and Needle Shaping has allowed me to expand the number of patients because it is an effective and satisfying treatment and I currently offer it to everyone.

Do you suggest this technology to your colleagues?

Of course!

Alina Markou, MD – Specialist in Aesthetic Surgery

Tell us about a patient that you treated: age, skin type, main problems

I use Needle Shaping for patients of all ages – from 30 to 60 years old – but most of the patients are around 37-38 to 45 yo. Most of them do not have big problems with the aging of the skin, they just want to appear more “fresh and natural”. I treat all skin types.

Why did you choose Needle Shaping treatment for this patient?

Because it’s more natural, it doesn’t require putting materials into the skin like fillers or threads. Results are very good and long-lasting. In addition to this, for patients who never did other medical-aesthetic procedures Needle Shaping is one of the best techniques for skin and dermal rejuvenation.

What has Needle Shaping added to your daily medical practice?

The possibility to propose a new treatment, especially for face rejuvenation, alternative to other techniques not always tolerated by my patients. Moreover, thanks to the combination of Needle Shaping and O.F.F. (another technology of Plexr Vecron device), I can work on fat reduction on the face too. This allows me to obtain a complete action on three levels of the skin.

Do you suggest this technology to your colleagues?

Yes, of course! I suggest Needle Shaping: a fast-learning procedure for the doctor, no side effects and very good results for the patient that are always satisfied.
