Micro Needling
Treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks.
Microneedling is a skin-rejuvenating procedure designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, large pores, and even stretch marks. It works by using a device equipped with very fine, short needles that create tiny, controlled punctures—also called micro-injuries—on the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries kickstart the skin’s natural repair process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful-looking. Over time, this can lead to a more even skin texture and tone. While the idea of needles might sound intimidating, the procedure is considered minimally invasive and is typically well-tolerated with little downtime. Results develop gradually, making it a popular option for those looking for a gentle but effective boost in skin renewal.
There are three phases to the wound repair process:
Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is re-built with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

Benefits of Treatment
The benefits of micro-needling are a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. SkinPen® also has a very positive effect on hyperpigmentation, scarring, and stretch marks and generally creates a refreshed and brightened look to the skin. The healing response which begins immediately upon the treatment kick-starts a healing process that lasts for several months, and up to a year. This natural healing process is where all the magic happens.
