What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a proven technique for skin rejuvenation, tightening, and scar remodeling. By creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, it triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the dermis (the middle layer of your skin) to create a better epidermis (the top, visible layer of your skin).

This process induces collagen formation and creates a new network of blood vessels to nourish the skin. The result is rejuvenated skin from the inside out, with improved appearance and reduced signs of aging.

Why microneedling?

As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, becoming thinner and more fragile.  Sun damage further accelerates this process, causing wrinkles, sagging skin, and hyperpigmentation. Microneedling addresses these issues by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin tone and texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Microneedling is clinically tested and proven to enhance skin appearance, reduce acne scarring, and diminish wrinkles on the neck with little to no downtime.

What to expect

Prior to each treatment, a numbing cream will be provided to you.  Apply the cream forty minutes before your treatment, and again twenty minutes later.

Microneedling creates thousands of tiny micro-channels across your skin to stimulate the healing response.  Post-procedure, your skin will better absorb topical skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.  A series of 4-6 treatments is usually recommended.

A microneedling treatment usually costs:

Face to collarbone: $375

Face to neck and chest: $475

Individual results may vary.
