Rejuvenate your skin with Microneedling

Skin Microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that is used to encourage collagen production using a medical-grade, state-of-the-art precision microneedling device tool that can easily help repair deep skin damage without causing further scarring or discomfort.

​

The treatment involves applying a pen-like device, to the surface of the skin. The device has tiny needles that penetrate the upper layer of skin and break up old strands of collagen in the lower layer. 

​

This wound healing response is what stimulates new collagen and elastin formation which then assists with plumping out fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. It also reduces the appearance of pigmentation, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.

​

Microneedling is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment and can be used for facial and body areas for concerns such as ageing skin, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, burn, surgical scarring, and stretch marks.

 

This treatment can be offered as a stand-alone skin rejuvenation treatment or combined with other non-surgical treatments for optimal results. Your aesthetician will advise on a treatment plan to suit you and your skin goals.
