Micro-Needling is arguably one of the most popular professional and at-home skincare treatments today.

With little or no access to professional skin care treatments as a result of Covid-19, consumers are focusing more on skin health and using the power of at-home skincare technology to optimise results.

While the world may be experiencing a Micro-Needling revolution today, it was Dr Des Fernandes (Founder and Scientific Director of Environ) who pioneered this innovative technology more than 20 years ago.

Dr Des Fernandes

Respected and recognised as the world-leading specialist in Micro-Needling Technology, Dr Des Fernandes M.B.; B,Ch,; F.R.C.S (Edin), globally-acclaimed plastic surgeon, doctor, visionary and creator, changed the way the world sees, understands and cares for skin.

Born out of plastic surgery

“The concept of Micro-Needling was born at the time when the world was going mad for invasive treatments like destructive laser therapy and deep dermal peels. People were submitting themselves to the most gruesome torture to achieve tighter, smoother-looking skin.” says Dr Des Fernandes.

It’s about more vitamin A

Dr Des Fernandes’ extensive medical research in the field of vitamin A and skin regeneration proved that this essential skin normalising vitamin strengthened the stratum corneum to such a remarkable degree that it was imperative to innovate a new way to get more vitamin A delivered to the skin to enhance the benefits and achieve better results.

“I found that my patients’ skin reached a plateau and I needed to find a way to get more effects of vitamin A. That is the paradox of vitamin A.”

Environ pioneered Micro-Needling Technology in the 1990s

In 1997, Dr Des Fernandes needled himself for the first time using a tattoo pen. Dissatisfied with that experience, he had special rollers made with thin needles and began testing: first on himself, then on his patients. This was the birth of medical and surgical needling treatments of wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, burn scars, and, very soon after, Environ launched the first cosmetic roller to the world.

Environ has the world’s longest experience in using Micro-Needling safely and effectively
