SKIN / MICRO NEEDLING

Skin needling, also known as microneedling, is an effective anti-ageing treatment designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture.

It is a particularly effective treatment to support skin regeneration, often used to improve the appearance of acne scarring, stretch marks and surgical scars.

As the microchannels in the skin heal, skin texture is improved, becoming plumper and firmer, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for an overall youthful and glowing appearance.

Topical anaesthetic can be applied pre-treatment for patient comfort.

Skin needling can be performed every 4-6 weeks over a course of 3-6 treatments depending on the patient.

  • Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
