Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using a precision device, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin, triggering a regenerative response that helps soften fine lines, refine pores, improve acne scars, and restore a smoother, more radiant appearance.
For optimal results, microneedling is most effective when performed in a series and maintained every 3–4 months as part of a consistent skin health regimen.
For those looking to further enhance their results, PRP or PDGF can be added to your microneedling session for a more advanced level of skin rejuvenation.

About Microneedling
-
Microneedling is a collagen-inducing treatment designed to improve overall skin quality. It’s used to address concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scarring by encouraging the skin to regenerate and rebuild itself for a smoother, more refined appearance.
-
A specialized device creates precise, microscopic channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. As the skin repairs, it becomes firmer, more even in tone, and visibly healthier over time.
-
Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
Treatment: A precision microneedling device is used to create controlled micro-channels across targeted areas, customized based on your skin concerns and goals.
Post-Treatment: Mild redness, warmth, and sensitivity—similar to a light sunburn—may occur for 24–48 hours. Most clients resume normal activities shortly after, with continued improvement in the weeks following as collagen production increases.
Microneedling is typically performed in a series, often spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments recommended every 3–4 months for sustained results. PRP or PDGF can also be incorporated into your session to further enhance outcomes.
