MICRONEEDLING is a minimally invasive procedure using thin needles. This procedure can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin. Therefore, it helps reduce:

• acne scars

• enlarged pores

• hyperpigmentation or dark spots

• stretch marks​

• wrinkles

• uneven skin tone

​​

The Procedure:

The thin needles pulse up and down to puncture your skin. You might feel warmth or scratching on your face once the microneedling starts. These microinjuries stimulate the body's natural wound-healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Which makes the skin firmer, also, even in tone and texture. The length of time for the procedure depends on the size of the area that needs treatment. After the procedure, your skin may be red and swollen for a few days. An ice pack can help reduce irritation and discomfort.

​​

Do you need more treatments?

Most people need multiple microneedling treatments, it varies from person to person, usually 4-6 sessions about 3 weeks to 8 weeks apart. You may see results within a few weeks. Afterward, you might need the procedure once a year for maintenance.
