About
What is Microneedling?
Collagen Induction Therapy
This treatment involves using a hand tool with 12-36 small needles in the tip that can be adjusted between 0.25mm and 2.5mm in length. The micro injuries caused by the sterilized needles stimulate the natural collagen in the skin. Microneedling allows serums to penetrate on a deeper level and be more effective.
Is Microneedling painful?
It is almost PAINLESS! A topical numbing cream will be applied before the treatment.
How long is the procedure?
The total time of the procedure takes less than an hour.
Downtime
Redness goes away in a few days and flaky dry skin in a week. No makeup for 24 hours.
