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.
WHAT DOES MICRONEEDLING DO AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
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.
