We've all heard of "going under the knife" to look younger, but would you "go under the needle?"
It means rolling needles on your face with the goal of generating collagen.

This pro service is called MEDICAL NEEDLING, or you can call it by it's fancy schmancy nerdy name: Collagen Induction Therapy. 



Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt are both rumored to be courageous enough to endure it. Would YOU?

Check it out:  Rodan & Fields AMP MD system

 

You too can go to your dermatologist and he or she will roll needles across your face in the spirit of generating collagen. These needles range from .5 millimeters to 2 millimeter in size!

Price tag? Up to $330 per session.

Anesthesia? YES PLEASE ! You would get a topical or local anesthetic and sometimes be put under entirely if there's a lot of needling to be done.

Down time? Out for the count... about a week - enough to hide at home from paparazzi and hang indoors with the throng of kids. Results can take three to nine months to fully appear, as come on people, collagen doesn't create itself overnight!
In the spirit of "do it yourself" -- there's a product that allows you to do medical needling at home.

Don't worry, it's not like at-home surgery or anything...it's a little plastic roller with 200 little micro-acupuncture needles on it... Micro sounds better.

I'm talking about a skin care system that includes a "delivery" system using small micro needles. The theory is, the needles on the roller create little "channels" in your skin, so when you put your creams on, the creams penetrate deeper - beneathe the surface of the skin - and deliver more results. What's more, the tiny needles sort of "injure" your skin (in a good way), forcing your skin to create collagen to repair these micro wounds.

It's call Rodan & Field's AMP MD system. And it's a way to AMP up your fight against wrinkles, sagging skin and enlarged pores.

The Today Show just featured it on a segment promoting it as one of the Best Anti-Aging Products for 2011!!

If the names Rodan & Fields sound familiar, it's because these two wonderful Stanford-U-grad derms are the gals who invented a little somthin somthin called Pro-Activ.

Well, Rodan & Field's AMP MD system allows you to needle roll YOUR way in the privacy of your own home for the same or damn near close results. Yep, your own little collagen factory with ZERO down time.

The tiny .2 millimeter needles on this roller make precise tiny channels, which will tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles...and give you greater results on your skincare creams. WHO says you have to have PAIN to have GAIN?

This roller system is all about combining the roller needle action with the right skincare line and Rodan & Fields AMP MD system gives you everything you need with these super-high quality products:

1 - Daily Cleansing Mask
2 - Pore Minimizing Toner
3 - Triple Defense Treatment SPF 30
4 - Night Renewing Serum (in little capsules)
5 - Overnight Restorative Cream
6 - The AMP roller (you use this 3x week)

So, now you don't gotta just ROLL WITH IT when it comes to aging - ladies, WE are in control!

Feeling AMP'ed up already !!
