WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive and highly effective treatment that harnesses the skin’s natural healing response to achieve remarkable results. Our skilled professionals utilise a specialised device equipped with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process triggers the production of collagen and elastin, the essential building blocks for healthy and youthful skin.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURE?
Microneedling is beneficial to combat various skin concerns, including age-related changes, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, scars, and enlarged pores. The procedure is customisable, allowing us to adjust the depth of the needles to address specific areas of concern. Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your face, neck, décolletage, or areas of the body our Microneedling service can provide remarkable improvements in skin texture and firmness.
Collagen Boost:
Microneedling triggers the production of collagen, a vital protein that helps plump the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture.
Scar Reduction:
By promoting the regeneration of new skin cells, Microneedling can help minimize the appearance of scars, including acne scars, leaving you with smoother and more even-toned skin.
