Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result? Healthier, firmer, and more radiant skin over time.

Benefits of Microneedling

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooth out signs of aging with boosted collagen production.
• Improves Skin Texture: Helps minimize acne scars, large pores, and other skin imperfections.
• Fades Discoloration: Diminishes the appearance of sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
• Minimally Invasive: Quick treatment with little to no downtime, making it a convenient option.

Microneedling Treatment Areas

We offer microneedling for a variety of facial and body areas:

– Face

Microneedling on the face targets acne scars, fine lines, and overall texture for smoother, younger-looking skin.

– Neck and Décolletage

The neck and chest areas benefit from microneedling to reduce the signs of aging and sun damage, improving overall skin tone and texture.

– Hands

Address aging hands by stimulating collagen production, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using a device called the SkinPen. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep the skin firm and smooth. This process helps reduce scars, wrinkles, and discoloration while enhancing overall skin texture.

Enhancing Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

For enhanced results, we offer microneedling combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that accelerate healing and boost collagen production. When paired with microneedling, it speeds up the skin’s recovery and enhances the rejuvenation process for even more dramatic results.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

1. Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your skin concerns and create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Preparation: The treated area is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort.
3. Microneedling Procedure: The SkinPen is used to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, a soothing serum is applied, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions.

The entire session typically takes 30-60 minutes. Most clients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities right away.

Results and Recovery

Microneedling results develop gradually as collagen production increases. You may start to notice improvements within 1-2 weeks, with full results appearing in 4-6 weeks. The effects of microneedling continue to enhance as your skin regenerates, providing long-lasting improvements in texture and appearance.

Downtime is minimal, with some redness or mild swelling that typically subsides within 24-48 hours. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen to protect your skin post-treatment.
