Microneedling Facial

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-wounds on the skin's surface. These micro-wounds stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining youthful skin structure and elasticity. By triggering the body's natural healing response, microneedling encourages the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself.

We use the most advanced microneedling system on the market that is the only system that has Active Needle Retieval Technology & Silk Touch Needling. Active Needle Retieval Technology means the motor behind the needles not only pushes them into the skin, but also actively pulls them out ( as opposed to all other microneedling devices that use passive, spring-based needle retrieval. Silk Touch needling technology significantly shortens the time the needles spend inside the skin. thus minimizing discomfort during treatment. Silktouch is based on a long needle stroke combined with the fastest motor available, not a battery as these provide an inconsistent and lose power and can cause the needles to drag on the skin. In practice, the needles travel longer distance in less time, resulting in the quickesr possible punctures, reduced needling sensation, andn much more confortable needling experiene. As everyones tolerance is different though, there may be some mild discomfort associated with the procedures. A topical anesthetic can be used to numb the area. After the anesthetic has taken effect discomfort is very mild and Most Get a little nap in.

Rejuvenation of the skin may be seen in as little as two weeks and as long as 6-8 months after your last microneedling session. For optimal results we recommend treatments in a series and to use the recommended aftercare.
