Microneedling

Reduce fine-lines and wrinkles, treat acne scars, or improve skin texture with this highly effective treatment. 

• About 

  Recommended for All Skin Types

  Duration: Approx. 60 mins

  Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, treats:

  • Fine lines, loss of elasticity
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Acne and other scars. Pit marks, ice pick and rolling scars
  • Dullness and poor microcirculation 
  • Decreased firmness

  1. Your skin will be cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied
  2. Microneedling treatment will be performed. Your esthetician will choose your needle depth speed and coverage based on your goals and tolerance. Recalibration and adjustments will occur throughout treatment as they see real time responses from your skin.
  3. Custom recovery care will be selected for your skin’s needs - depending on your reaction to the Microneedling treatment.

  For best results, we recommend a series of three to six treatments, four weeks apart.

  Please note, Microneedling cannot be added to any other facial service.
