WHAT IS SKIN MICRONEEDLING?
Skin microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that increases collagen in the skin by 400% after one session, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation. It does so by creating thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin to trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process.
It is suitable for all skin types and effective on all body parts including the face, neck, and décolletage.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
At your consultation, we will discuss your skin concerns and carry out a skin analysis. Numbing cream is applied to the area to make the procedure more comfortable.
Skin microneedling comfortably creates thousands of micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process. This process results in skin remodeling, including the formation of collagen and elastin.
The procedure takes 30 minutes. Once the treatment is carried out full aftercare is given.

We highly recommend a course of 3-6 sessions for optimum results with 4-week intervals. Once completed, we recommend that clients maintain their treatments by having courses of 3 sessions once or twice a year.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME?
Recovery time is approximately 48 hours. It is common to get mild post-procedure effects, similar to mild to moderate sunburn. Redness will generally subside between a few hours up to 48 hours post-procedure. Some people may also experience mild peeling.
