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 Is Microneedling Best For?
Scar Revision (e.g., Acne Scars): Reduces the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other skin imperfections.
Skin Texture Improvement: Smoothens rough skin texture and minimizes large pores.
Collagen Production Stimulation: Enhances skin firmness and elasticity by triggering collagen synthesis.
Aging and Overall Rejuvenation: Softens fine lines and wrinkles while promoting a youthful glow.
How Microneedling Works
Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Procedure: A microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. Depending on the type, serums, PRP, or RF energy may be applied simultaneously.
Healing: The body triggers a natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production.
Aftercare: Gentle skincare products and sunscreen are recommended to aid healing and protect the skin.

Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
During Treatment:
The session lasts between 30–90 minutes, depending on the type of microneedling.
Mild discomfort is common, but a numbing cream minimizes pain.
A warming or tingling sensation may be felt during the procedure.
After Treatment:
