Microneedling

 

What is it?

 
 

Our microneedling uses a device called the SkinPen. This pen contains very fine needles that are used to create microscopic punctures in your skin, which creates a controlled skin injury. This skin injury “re-heals” concerns like acne scarring, pore size, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and your skin’s texture and firmness. 

What to Expect:

 
 
 

Immediately after the procedure, your body begins it’s natural healing process and collagen production is triggered in the treated areas. There is very minimal downtime with microneedling. Typically about 24 hours of slight redness post procedure. It sounds a bit scary, but most clients report no discomfort during the treatment at all. We use a topical numbing cream prior to your treatment, so you won’t feel the needles – only small vibrations!

After Care:

 

There is very minimal downtime with microneedling. You’ll want to avoid makeup immediately after treatment and the following day. Refrain from strenuous exercise for first 24 hours.
