What is Skin Needling?

Skin Needling is a cosmetic procedure to encourage new collagen and skin tissue production to smooth, firm, and tone skin by taking advantage of the body’s natural healing response.

Each treatment makes the skin stronger, healthier, and appears younger!

Treatment Duration

The length of each session will depend on the part of the body you want to be treated. Depending on the size of the area being treated, most sessions can be completed in less than 30 minutes. 

What can you expect from a course of treatments?

Your body responds right away to the “injuries” caused by micro-needling since it involves using tiny needles to create “micro-wounds” in your skin. One of these responses is an increase in blood flow, which transports healing substances to the wounded area.

This treatment gives reliable and predictable results.  Your desired results will be achieved regardless of your age or skin condition.

Patients can typically start noticing improvements as soon as their initial healing stage is finished. You will notice an immediate change in the tone and texture of your skin within 1 to 3 days of receiving treatment, most notably a healthy glow to the skin’s surface. However, it’s possible that it will take some time before you see the desired results.

Can everyone have Skin Needling?

Microneedling is minimally invasive, requiring no downtime. It’s considered safe for most people who are in overall good health. 

Be aware:

  • Pregnancy – Contra Indicated to TLA, if not using, able to proceed with treatment.
  • Arrhythmia Medications – Contra Indicated to TLA, if not using, able to proceed with treatment.
