FACE & BODY BENEFITS
Microneedling is an effective treatment for not only anti-aging and scars but for acne and more.
FINE LINES
Micro-channels encourage collagen and elastic production. This increases skins firmness as well as reduces texture. Fine lines and wrinkles become smoother and less defined.
LARGE PORES
Micro injuries in the skin triggers skin around pores to heal itself and tighten. Essentially the process “fills in” pores by increasing skin density and firmness in the area.
ACNE
Microneedling essentially reprograms skin by triggering an expedited healing process. This reduces acne inflammation as well as residual scarring and pore size. The epidermis is renewed and acne breakouts are greatly reduced.
SCARS
Several types of scars can be softened and reduced. Microneedling treats acne scars, surgical scars, hypertrophic (raised scars) and stretchmarks.
PIGMENTATION
Microneedling provides a deep resurfacing effect. This removes the outer layers of the skin and produces a new youthful dermis with reduced pigment and a more even tone.
STRETCHMARKS
Stretchmarks can form anywhere on the body. Microneedling reduces the appearance of both white (healed) and forming stretchmarks (red).
