Microneedling
Do you have skin damage that you would love to have repaired?
Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to puncture the very first layer of skin, creating tiny holes in the skin that encourage the body to respond by renewing skin cells. The treatment consists of the topical application of a product with specific properties while using microneedles to generate a large number of microchannels to a defined depth.

What are the benefits?
Minimally invasive and with minimal downtime, this technique can be used to treat many different skin conditions and problems, including pigmentation, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles. By triggering the production of collagen and elastin, microneedling also produces an almost immediate plumping effect.
What is the downtime?
Varies depending on skin condition – from 24 hours to a couple of days.
Are there any possible side effects?
The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately after the procedure. You may also see redness for a few days.
How many treatments do I need for best results?
A course of six treatments – one every 2-4 weeks (depending on depth of needle). You will need a consultation and an analysis of your skin prior to treatment. Please allow up to one hour on top of the treatment time for this.
