Microneedling

Hollywood’s hottest anti-aging secret, safe for all skin types and colors

One of the hottest skin rejuvenation treatments available today. It is an innovative, non-ablative treatment utilizing a tool called the “Derma Pen” to rejuvenate the skin. The Derma Pen uses very fine, stainless steel needles that puncture the skin creating tiny channels deep within the skin’s surface while protecting the top layer of the skin. This will induce the release of growth factors to promote scarless healing through collagen production.

As a results of collagen production, this treatment works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, skin laxity and scarring, improve the skin texture without any damage and create smoother, tighter, healthier and younger looking skin.  It has also been successfully used for hair restoration in cases of alopecia.

Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), it is a procedure using a device covered with tiny, shallow needles to essentially poke holes in the skin surface. This procedure causes a micro injury that prompts skin to stimulate collagen production, filling in fine lines, plumping the skin and contributing to a younger look.

Micro-needling works great for sunken areas on the skin caused by acne or chickenpox, as well as for fine lines, discoloration and general skin rejuvenation, This safe procedure isn’t just for the face, though. It can also be used on many areas of the body, including the arms, neck, legs, abdomen, back and hands. We can customize micro-needling to the desires of each patient. Micro needling treatment is safe to use on all skin types and all skin colors. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (PIH). And it can be used on all parts of the body; face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.
