Microneedling
A treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating the skin's natural collagen production.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's natural wound-healing response and stimulating increased collagen and elastin production. Your practitioner passes the device evenly across the treatment area, with the depth of needle penetration adjusted based on your specific skin concerns. This is often combined with the application of serums, such as PRP, immediately after treatment to enhance results. The treatment takes about thirty to forty-five minutes, with mild redness typically resolving within a day or two.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne scarring
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- A desire to stimulate natural collagen production
How does this procedure help?
Microneedling stimulates your skin's own collagen and elastin production, leading to gradually firmer, smoother, more even-toned skin over the weeks following treatment. Because the treatment triggers your body's natural healing process, results continue to improve for several weeks after each session. A series of treatments, typically three to six sessions spaced a few weeks apart, generally produces the most noticeable and lasting improvement.
