Boost collagen, reduce scarring and smooth skin texture with traditional microneedling treatment. Perfect for those wanting to minimize fine lines and acne scars.
Traditional Microneedling
Microneedling involves using a handheld device with fine needles to create controlled micro‐injuries in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and smoother skin. Sessions can take 15 minutes to a few hours depending on the area treated, and a topical anesthetic is applied beforehand for comfort. Multiple treatments are needed, typically every 3–8 weeks, with results developing over several months.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production to firm and smooth skin.
- Improves acne scars, fine lines and uneven texture over time.
- Minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
