Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. During this procedure thin needles are used to make tiny holes in the top layer of the skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin healing process , so it produces collagen which forms a new layer of fresh tissue , creating a more youthful appeareance.
Minimal trauma, Maximum results
Micro needling technology has significant benefits over dermal-rolling and Fractional laser treatments, due to the minimal trauma inflicted upon your skin. This allows your skin to spend more effort fighting the ailment itself, rather than collateral damage inflicted during the procedure itself.
