microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. It involves the use of very fine needles to create microscopic damage to the skin. This process enables your skin’s healing mechanism, which results in the production of collagen, elastin, and increased cell turnover.
I use a serum from Korea that contains salmon-derived PDRN, multiple kinds of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and glutathione. This unique formula helps brighten your skin and improves skin elasticity, moisture levels, and texture.
what does it treat?
Each session is customized to you and your skin goals. It treats acne scars, fine lines, pores, hyperpigmentation, acne, eye bags, and sun damage while boosting collagen and promoting hair growth.
Essentially, microneedling makes your skin look good.
