MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a procedure that can treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Microneedles in the device stimulate the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.
Frequency and Care
Microneedling can be done once to upkeep skin and give a great facial or, if you are targeting a specific issue, a series of treatments is recommended. A minimum of 6 weeks in between each procedure is recommended and you should never exceed 8 treatments annually. Vitamin C and acidic ingredients should NOT be used for 4 weeks after a microneedling treatment.
