Microneedling

Microneedling is a method of skin rejuvenation that uses ultra-fine needles to make tiny holes in the skin, stimulating your skin’s natural healing process and boosting collagen and elastin production. This will give your complexion a more youthful appearance, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce scarring and pigmentation. Microneedling can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as chemical skin peels, mesotherapy cocktails (active skin ingredients) and platelet-rich plasma [PRP].

What does microneedling involve?

To perform micro-needling, we use a mechanical pen, which is safer and more effective with less trauma to the skin than a manual roller.

After the treatment, soothing active ingredients can be used to hydrate, nourish and protect the skin. A course of three treatments, four weeks apart, is recommended to gain the full benefits following medical needling.
