Microneedling treats fine lines and scars and issues with skin texture, tone and color with minimal downtime! This collagen induction therapy creates hundreds of tiny, visible micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin with fine needles.
The micro-injuries created by a microneedling session encourage new skin cells to form by stimulating the body’s natural healing process, resulting in cell turnover, increased blood flow, and collagen and elastin production for smoother skin. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be added to microneedling treatments to activate additional collagen production.
