Microneedling

About 

Recommended for All Skin Types

Duration: Approx. 60 mins

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, treats:

• Age spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne and surgical scars 
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of elasticity of the skin

1. Your skin will be cleansed and applied with a numbing cream
2. Microneedling treatment is performed
3. A custom mask is selected for your skin’s needs - depending on your reaction to the Microneedling treatment, your esthetician may opt for you to take your mask home

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

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