Micro needling with Xcellaris Pro ( With Topical Insulin)

Micro needling, Elevated: Glow Deeper, Heal Faster

Meet the XCellaris PRO (or PRO TWIST):
A micro needling marvel straight out of Germany, designed for the pros. This medical-grade device is all about precision, speed (we’re talking up to 150 strokes per second!), and its signature cone-shaped needles. These tiny powerhouses create micro-wounds that seal up fast, kickstarting collagen production to tackle acne scars, uneven texture, fine lines, and even hair loss—all with minimal pain and downtime.

Crafted by the experts at Dermaroller, the XCellaris PRO is your go-to for skin rejuvenation, delivering fast treatments and even faster recovery.


How It Works:
This isn’t just micro needling—it’s micro needling done right. The XCellaris PRO creates controlled micro-injuries that activate your skin’s natural repair mode. The result? A boost in collagen and elastin production, leaving you with smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.


Why It’s a Pro’s Best Friend:
This isn’t your average at-home gadget. The XCellaris PRO is a certified medical device (Class IIa in Europe, Class II in Canada), built for professional use. It’s the real deal, offering advanced results that at-home devices can only dream of.

Treatment Information



Treatment Information

Xcellaris Pro Twist micro needling device with topical insulin (TI) is an emerging medical aesthetic treatment in the UK, primarily focused on scar revision and advanced skin rejuvenation. 
Frequently Asked Questions 
  • What is the benefit of adding topical insulin to micro needling?
    Topical insulin may contribute to the wound-healing process. When delivered via the micro-channels created by the Xcellaris Pro, it may promote angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), increase collagen production, and enhance cell proliferation. Clinical studies suggest it could improve atrophic scars (such as acne and surgical scars) compared to micro needling alone.
  • What conditions can be treated with this combination?
    • Atrophic Scars: Studies show potential results for acne scars, surgical wounds, and post-leishmaniasis scars.
    • Skin Rejuvenation: May improve fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture.
    • Hair Loss: Emerging research suggests potential use for stimulating hair follicles and treating conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
    • Stretch Marks: May address striae alba through collagen remodeling.
  • Is it safe? What are the side effects?
    The procedure is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals.
    • Standard Side Effects: Temporary redness (erythema) for 1–2 days, mild tightness, and occasional pinprick bleeding are common.
    • Insulin-Specific Risk: A rare potential side effect is hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), reported in approximately 4% of patients in some clinical studies. Practitioners may advise patients to eat before their session to mitigate this.
    • Pigmentation: There is a risk of hyperpigmentation if the treated area is exposed to sunlight within 3 days post-treatment.

It is versatile and can be used on the face, neck, and body to address:

    • Fine lines and wrinkles
    • Acne scarring and other medical scars (not keloid or hypertrophic)
    • Uneven skin tone, texture, and pigmentation
    • Enlarged pores
    • Stretch marks
    • Hair loss or thinning on the scalp

Yes, it is considered safe for all skin types and tones.

A treatment session typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The device itself operates very quickly, with up to 150 insertions per second, which helps reduce treatment time.

Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. Many describe the sensation as a light scratching or tingling. Topical numbing cream may be used to enhance comfort, though some clinics state it is not required due to the device's speed and precision.

What is the downtime?
Downtime is minimal, often less than 24-48 hours. The treated area will appear red, similar to mild sunburn, which subsides quickly.
 

How many sessions will I need?
For optimal results, a course of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended. The number of sessions required can vary depending on the specific concern (e.g., stretch marks may require 8-10 sessions).

How quickly will I see results and how long do they last?
A plumping effect may be visible almost immediately. However, full results appear as new collagen forms over 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement for up to 6 months post-treatment. Results can be long-lasting and can be maintained with follow-up sessions every 6-12 months.

What is the aftercare advice?

    • Avoid sun exposure and use a high-factor, broad-spectrum SPF daily
    • Keep skin clean and moisturised with gentle products for 48 hours
    • Avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming for 48 hours
    • Avoid active ingredients like retinoids/retinol and exfoliants for at least 7 days 

Who is not suitable for this treatment?
Micro needling is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of keloid scarring, active skin infections, open wounds, or are on certain medications (e.g., blood thinners, oral Roaccutane). Suitability is determined during a full consultation with a professional.

Is it safe?
Yes, it is a safe and well-established treatment when performed by trained professionals using sterile, single-use cartridges. The device used in clinics is a certified Class IIa medical device in Europe.
