Microneedling is considered to be the most effective skin rejuvenation technique on the market today providing dramatic results! We recommend this treatment for fine lines, skin laxity, wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks and acne scars.
Microneedling uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin's healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin resulting in firmer and smoother skin.
Microneedling is a highly effective way to turn back the clock and enjoy significant facial rejuvenation results, with a completely non-surgical procedure that avoids any kind of significant downtime or recovery period. You’ll be able to improve your look without missing a beat, rejoining your active schedule and showing off that youthful glow to the entire world.

A major contributor to facial aging is a decrease in your body’s natural production of two important compounds called collagen and elastin. This, coupled with dirt, debris, and dead skin cells that become trapped on your outer layer of skin can impact your youthful look. Microneedling creates a series of extremely tiny “micro-channels” on the surface of your skin, which effectively works to stimulate your body’s natural wound response. This sends an increased amount of collagen and elastin to the treatment area. This process is known as CIT (collagen induction therapy).
Microneedling is often combined with either HA (hyaluronic acid) serum or PRP (platelet rich plasma) which contains your body’s own growth factors. These two topical agents augment the efficacy of microneedling.
You will experience some redness and tenderness in the treatment area, but this will be the extent of your downtime and you’ll see your results beginning to take shape over the course of the first few days after your treatment.
