Microneedling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a break through remedy for the treatment of wrinkles and pigmentation, scars (including burn scars, acne scars and surgical scars) and stretch marks. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural defenses to repair and produce concentrated amounts of collagen and proteins to the treated areas of skin. This results in the skins thickness being increased, smoothing scars, visibly reducing stretch marks and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Microneedling is a procedure that involves an electric skin-needling device that contains very fine needles. It is used during micro-needling procedures to break down old scar tissue and push skin cell generation. Cell production leads to the creation of new layers of elastin and collagen fiber and leads to improved blood flow in the skin. We have 2 types of microneedling;
Microneedling
Standard Micro-needling uses a derma-pen with fine needles or pins creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, this triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as skin resurfacing
A great treatment for;
- fine lines and wrinkles
- uneven or rough skin texture
- mild acne breakouts
Microneedling with RF
RF microneedling adds radio frequency energy to the traditional micro-needling procedure. In addition to the benefits seen with standard microneedling, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction.
A great treatment for;
- fine lines and wrinkles
- uneven or rough skin texture
- mild acne breakouts
- acne scarring or other types of (healed) scarring
- unwanted pigmentation spots and sun damage
- stretch marks
