About The Treatment
Support your skin’s natural renewal process
Microneedling is a professional skin treatment that uses very fine, controlled needles to create tiny microchannels within the surface of the skin. This controlled process supports the skin’s natural repair response and can encourage the production of collagen and elastin.
The treatment is commonly chosen by clients who would like to improve the appearance of uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, mild scarring or generally tired-looking skin.
Microneedling can be used on areas including the face, neck and décolletage. The treatment depth and approach will be selected according to your skin, concerns, medical history and individual treatment goals.
Results are not immediate and usually develop gradually as the skin renews. A course of treatments may be recommended where appropriate, followed by occasional maintenance appointments.
