Microneedling
Microneedling is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the body's natural healing abilities to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin.
About Microneedling
WHAT IT IS
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural renewal process. This approach may support smoother skin and improved texture over time. We adjust each session based on your skin’s current needs and your desired outcomes, focusing on common concerns like uneven tone or visible signs of aging. For best results, a series of treatments is often recommended.
HOW IT WORKS
Microneedling utilizes a handheld device equipped with extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. These micro-wounds trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health and vitality. The treatment effectively rejuvenates the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
Before: Your skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical cream for comfort.
During: You may feel warmth or light pressure as the device is applied to the face and/or neck.
After: A cooling mask or serum may be applied. Redness or mild swelling is common for 1–3 days. Avoid direct sun and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
