What microneedling helps
Microneedling is used for acne scars, other scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and uneven texture. The controlled micro-injuries prompt the skin to produce new collagen.
It can be combined with PRP, growth-factor serums or other treatments for added benefit.
How microneedling works
A medical device creates very fine channels in the skin at a depth chosen for your concern.
- Numbing: cream applied before treatment
- Treatment: the device is passed over the area
- Combination: with PRP or serums in some plans
- Course: several sessions a few weeks apart
