Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, minimize scars, and enhance overall radiance. It’s safe for all skin types and offers visible, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

About Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
It’s often referred to as collagen induction therapy and is ideal for treating fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and dull or uneven skin.
What it is:
How it Works:
During the procedure, a specialized microneedling device gently glides over your skin, creating thousands of microscopic channels. This process jump-starts your body’s collagen response, encouraging cell turnover and skin renewal.
Microneedling also enhances the absorption of serums and growth factors applied during the session, boosting results even further.
What to Expect:
The treatment takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibrating feeling. Afterward, your skin may appear red or feel tight—similar to a mild sunburn—for a day or two.
You’ll notice a smoother, more radiant complexion in the days and weeks following treatment, with full results developing over time as new collagen forms.
