Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles. These needles create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, triggering the body to create new collagen and elastin fibers. Our microneedling service is performed by Registered Nurses using state-of-the-art equipment in a safe and sterile environment, ensuring optimal results and minimal discomfort.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment with a wide array of benefits, making it an excellent choice for many skin concerns:
Stimulates collagen production to reduce the appearance of aging.
Helps in resurfacing the skin, improving texture and appearance.
Promotes a more even skin tone and smoother texture.

What is Microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the top layer of your skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for maintaining youthful skin texture and elasticity.

Microneedling offers numerous benefits for overall skin health and rejuvenation, including:
● Reduces wrinkles and fine lines by boosting collagen production, which plumps the skin for a smoother appearance.● Helps diminish acne scars by promoting collagen remodeling, leading to a smoother complexion.● Enhances skin texture and tone by minimizing pore size and promoting evenness.● Creates temporary channels in the skin, allowing skincare products to penetrate deeper for increased effectiveness.
