About Microneedling
What Is Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production. It is a versatile treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven texture. A series of treatments gives the best results.
How Microneedling Works
A handheld device with fine, sterile needles creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural repair process, increasing collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother, more even skin over time.
What to Expect
Your skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied for comfort. During treatment you may feel warmth and a light scratching sensation. Afterward, skin is typically red and slightly swollen for one to three days. You can return to normal activities right away, but avoid sun exposure while your skin heals.
