“I would recommend her a million times over…”
Microneedling is very unique because we can actually utilize this treatment to build new strong healthy organized collagen and elastin fibers, thereby dramatically improving the tone texture and surface of your skin.
We use our specially engineered automated device with very small needles to create microscopic channels in the skin layers. The skin responds to this treatment over the course of the next several weeks by producing new collagen and elastin to deposit in these microchannels. The results of this biological process will make your skin look and feel healthier and have a more youthful appearance. Microneedling is performed in the office with topical numbing cream and each treatment session is performed in less than 20 minutes.
