Microneedling

Microneedling addresses the outer layer of the skin affected by environmental stresses of sun damage, toxins and the natural aging process. A full face and neck treatment can improve fine lines, tone and texture of the skin. Using a Health Canada approved microneedling device, tiny perforations are made into the skin which cause microwounds that stimulate the release of growth factors leading to collagen production. Proven results have also been seen with other skin conditions such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation and necklace lines. A series of 4-6 treatments is recommended for optimal results spread out every 6 weeks.

A topical anaesthetic is used and the device is applied over the affected area. A vitamin and cell stimulating serum is painted over the skin after the procedure which allows it to  penetrate deep into the dermal layers. Benefits include improvement to acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines and skin texture.
