What is Skin Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural healing processes, resulting in smoother, firmer, and brighter looking skin. This treatment involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-holes in the skin’s surface, which promote collagen and elastin production.

 We use the award winning dermapen 4 professional which is FDA and CE approved. It glides smoothly over skin for excellent results.
