There is a lot of science behind the results. Expectations and the results. Treatment rules and guidelines. Methods of treatment that complement one another. Warnings and things to think about. Avoiding the body’s inflammatory response People should avoid the ingredients in the products they want to buy. When it comes to “all things needling,” the Concise Guide to Dermal Needling pdf by Dr. Lance Setterfield is the best source.
Many people think that they need a needling device and a cream to get results. This is why micro-needling has so many bad things happen, including the idea that “it doesn’t work.” The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling PDF, now in an Expanded Medical Edition, talks about the science of micro-needling and how to get results. The new edition of The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling PDF has 130+ more pages covering more topics, like PRP, LMW-HA, Stem Cells, and Paraben.
From the Author
Micro-needling has exploded in popularity and is now more popular than ever. Skincare experts want to learn more but are overwhelmed by contradicting information, which comes from sources with vested interests. Many people (both distributors and practitioners) overestimated the complexity of this therapeutic approach and were baffled when things went awry.
What is the advantage of micro-needling? How does one take advantage of the beneficial routes of cell-to-cell communication? Which micro-needling products are safe to use, and why? What conditions are we able to treat, and which ones respond best? What about the complexities? What features should we look for in a needling device? How much training will we require? Will we see a positive return on my investment? So, how about the FDA? How do we integrate this treatment into the services we already offer? Is there an additional risk as a result of this?
I’ve spent years exploring these concerns and training practitioners and clinics worldwide. In this new edition of The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling, I share my research and clinical expertise in the hopes of providing the answers you need. You will master the fundamentals of dermal needling and the advanced features of the modality, acquiring knowledge and confidence to work things out for yourself based on non-industry aligned information and a far more profound grasp of the science underlying this modality.
In this edition, I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on choosing the right patient and understanding their individual needs to maximize results and avoid issues. Most essential, in our quest to learn about micro-needling, we must keep in mind that there is a distinct individual (patient) on the other end of the device. This is referred to as the “5 P’s” of micro-needling success.
Finally, some people combine micro-needling with Stem Cells, PRP, Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, and Parabens. The most recent information on these topics has been condensed into simpler terms to help remove the fog and give you a better understanding of these complex concerns.
Hopefully, by the end of this new pdf of The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling, your passion for skincare will be reaffirmed, and you will have earned the knowledge and confidence you need to provide the best treatments possible to your patients. You’ll gain respect as an expert, your business will thrive, and you’ll enjoy the adventure of meaningfully assisting your patients.

Author of The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling PDF
Dr. Lance Setterfield graduated from the University of Stellenbosch in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1 983 and emigrated to Canada in 1 988 after completing five years of post-graduate training. His personal experience with skin cancer prompted a specific interest in the subjects of cancer, skin health, and anti-aging. Dermatology accounted for a significant portion of his practice in rural Canada.
One of the first doctors in Canada to use medical needling in his practice was Dr. Setterfield. He started his clinic in 2004 to study the effects of needling on the skin with pharmaceutical and homeopathic medications, plant extracts, vitamins, and other ingredients, after working as a co-founder and medical director of laser clinics in the Victoria area. His main focus has been on cell-to-cell communication, specifically the effects of dermal needling on the epidermis and dermis, emphasizing the significance of epidermal injury as an alternative to dermal injury rejuvenation.
With this paradigm shift toward the epidermis and away from the concept of prolonging inflammation to stimulate collagen creation, his study resulted in a partnership with clinics and firms all over the world, allowing him to be at the cutting edge of micro-needling technology. “Dermal Needling and Wound Healing” is a subject many people want to learn more about, so he made training courses and started a lecture tour to teach people about it. He did this in countries like the UK, the US, and Canada.
Dr. Setterfield wrote the first book on dermal needling (201 0), “The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling – Medical Edition,” which was later updated in 201 3 as an “Expanded” edition. This current book (2017) is a “Revised and Expanded” version with significant information on critical areas in the cosmetic industry about micro-needling. There is also a Spanish version available. Dermal needling has grown in popularity rapidly, and thousands of practitioners worldwide have benefited from the instruction he gives through his books, Online Microneedling Course, and live classes.
