Frequently asked Questions
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is an advanced micromedical skin needling procedure that stimulates skin regeneration and activates healing. The tiny needles create small punctures in the skin, which in turn stimulate new collagen and elastin to form. This natural repairing process creates smoother, brighter, healthier, and younger-looking skin. Microneedling is not painful, has little, if any downtime, and leaves your skin looking tighter and rejuvenated.
What Sets Microneedling Apart?
Microneedling is a great fit for just about everyone. It provides an immediate result, as well as a more drastic one after a series of treatments. This type of treatment is perfect for those who want to age on their own terms, but avoid more invasive surgical procedures.
