MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
With age, the skin naturally thins and loses volume. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that not only restores volume loss, but also minimizes scars and fine wrinkles, improves skin tone and texture, treats acne scars, and so much more.
WHAT DOES MICRONEEDLING DO?
Over a series of treatments, microneedling helps the skin become firmer and regain elasticity. It also visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, refines the pores, stimulates circulation, firms and tightens most body areas, and overall improves the condition of the skin. This procedure is an excellent option for acne scarring, surgical scarring, burns, stretch marks.

MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT DETAILS
Before your microneedling procedure, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to your skin. It takes about 30 minutes for your skin to become numb, but this will help with any discomfort during the treatment. Once you’re ready, your specialist will use a handheld microneedling device directly on your skin.
The device will move over your skin, administering the microneedles as it goes. As they penetrate your dermis and make tiny holes, the skin regeneration process is triggered. Microneedling feels like a small, sharp vibration which can be uncomfortable for some.
Others find it completely tolerable. Either way, we encourage you to let us know if you’re in discomfort. We can always adjust the needle depth. With a series of microneedling sessions, you’ll see your skin becoming firmer, healthier, and improved.
HOW MICRONEEDLING WORKS
With microneedling, a device that contains tiny needles passes over the skin, creating microscopic punctures into the skin as it goes. The skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin to repair these micro-punctures.
The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal from the inside out. The advantage of microneedling compared to other treatments is that it not only activates cell regeneration; it also enhances the absorption of active ingredients of RP complex into the dermis during the treatment before the skin closes.
AFTER YOUR MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
Microneedling doesn’t require any physical downtime, but depending on how sensitive your skin is, you may need a day or two of social downtime due to the redness. We recommend the following:
For 2-3 days, only use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser on the treated area.
Avoid direct sunlight for 2-3 days. Apply a strong sunscreen if you do go out.
Don’t use harsh skincare products while healing.
