MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy or percutaneous collagen induction. It uses very small surgical-grade needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin’s surface.

This causes a wound-healing effect and the growth of new collagen and elastin. Microneedling works well on fine lines and creating microchannels for better product absorption. Microneedling can also improve acne scars, pigmentation and help to brighten dull complexions.

Consultations do not have to be done on a separate day, they can be done the same day as the treatment.
