What is a Microneedling?
As we age, the natural production of the skin’s collagen and elastin, naturally diminish leading to wrinkles, sagging and hollows. Micro-needling is an advanced cosmetic procedure used to treat many skin issues including anti-aging. It works by creating tiny holes in the skins dermal and epidermal layers. This controlled damage enables our bodies to induce the skin repair and renewal process. This process replaces our old damaged cell with new stronger ones giving the anti-age effect.
The handheld pen-like device used in the procedure has multi-speed functions, interchangeable heads that contain sterile needle tips and can be set to a desired depth to pierce the skins layer accurately and safely. Skin piercing can be set at different depths for mild to deep penetrations. This treatment combined with topical products can increase their absorption rate by 97% making topical ingredients much more effective.
