Microneedling Face Treatment

Healthier skin! Reduces the appearance of scars and blemishes.

Micro-needling involves running a pen-shaped medical device over your skin to break down old scar tissue and prompt the growth and proliferation of new skin cells. The device slides over the skin during the course of treatment, penetrating at depths of up to 2 mm.

The skin responds to the micro wounds produced by the microneedling device by creating new collagen and elastin, resulting in healthier skin and reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes. Over the course of the procedure, the device exfoliates the skin, stimulates blood flow, and cleans out pores. Depending on the size and state of the treatment area, a single session may take anywhere from a few minutes up to an hour to complete.

Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin. Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture. Aging causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Skin can also lose collagen due to injuries, such as acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars.  It is important to realize that microneedling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin.  It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.
