Skin Repair Treatment
To minimize the signs of aging through improved skin texture and appearance
MicroNeedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses microneedles to puncture the skin. In response, our body begins a natural healing process and stimulates collagen and elastin production creating a more youthful skin appearance. In addition, it can enhance skin texture and reduce scarring, hyperpigmentation, and the appearance of fine lines.
HOW IT WORKS:
MicroNeedling causes targeted trauma to the problem areas of your skin using a micro-needling pen that penetrates the skin with tiny needles. This process activates a natural healing response of increased collagen production. As an essential protein for youthful-looking skin, collagen creates a revitalized, firm, smooth, and elastic appearance by filling in and smoothing out fine lines and scars.
