Microneedling
Renew Your Skin’s Radiance
What is Microneedling / Microchanneling?
Microneedling and microchanneling are two terms for the same transformative skincare treatment. It involves using a specialized device with tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.
Benefits of Microneedling
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Microneedling smooths and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful complexion.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone
It evens out skin texture, reduces pore size, and minimizes the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
Enhanced Collagen Production
Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin.
Increased Product Absorption
The micro-channels created during the treatment enhance the absorption of serums and other skincare products.
