MICRONEEDLING
Medical skin needling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a painless procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles (microneedling) to induce collagen production. Microneedling creates controlled, non-thermal micro-injury underneath the skin’s surface, which induces the body to create new blood vessels, elastin & collagen. The result? Smooth, plump, glowing skin.
