Micro Needling

Micro Needling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures (micro injuries) in the skin. These controlled injuries stimulate the bodies natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.

Key Benefits of Micro Needling:

-Improves Skin Texture and Tone

-Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

-Minimises Acne Scars and Stretch Marks

-Shrinks Enlarged Pores

-Enhances Product Absorption

-Improves Skin Firmness

Mild redness and sensitivity may occur post treatment for 1-3 days. Minimal downtime compared to more aggressive treatments.

Treatment is often done in a series of 3-6 treatments space 4-6 weeks apart.
