Micro-Needling
How does it work?
Micro-needling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a device that contains very fine needles. These micro-needles puncture the skin to create controlled micro-injuries which stimulates the body’s natural healing process as well as promoting collagen production. For this reason, micro-needling is often referred to as collagen induction therapy (CIT).
Furthermore, topical serums containing nutrients, are micro-needled into the skin to enhance the overall results.
Micro-needling has proved to be a simple and fast method for safely treating various skin concerns, without damaging or removing the skin.
Multiple treatments will be necessary where an interval of 2 to 6 weeks between treatments is typically recommended. The number of treatments as well as the intervals will depend on the individual skin condition to be addressed.
Micro-needling is becoming a very popular treatment for those who seek a smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin.

- Any other body area with a problematic skin condition
What are the benefits?
