Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
It is a non-surgical, non-ablative, non-chemical treatment that improves the health of the skin. The microneedles make channels in the epidermis which seal within hours of treatment.
This procedure improves the appearance of skin by stimulating skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin. This results in more volume to the tissue and a more youthful appearance. It also allows the serum (cell nutrients) to enter the channels that are formed.

Microneedling Information
What does the treatment feel like?
The treatment is virtually painless, it should feel like some light pressure on the face, but some areas may feel more sensitive than others. A mild topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment for added comfort.
There is a cumulative effect and it is recommended to have 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Significant healing takes place within the first 2 hours post treatment and most patients heal within 24 hours. However, some sensitive skin may require up to 48 hours. Slight swelling, heat, and redness (like a mild sunburn) is normally observed which may last up to 2-3 days.
