MICRONEEDLING
About Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, these fibers break down leading to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and large pores. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure involving the use of a device with fine needles, creating small, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin. This simple procedure has minimal down time, activates your body’s natural response to produce new collagen by improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and scars, giving your skin a younger, firmer and radiant appearance. The Skin Pen Precision is a Health Canada approved device, safe and effective for skin rejuvenation of face, neck and hands, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (Melasma), rosacea, surgical and acne scars.
Results can be seen immediately after treatment, benefits for collagen building will continue up to 6 months. The specific benefits and outcomes can vary depending on the depth and frequency of the treatment, as well as individual skin types and conditions. For best treatment outcomes, 3 treatment sessions 4-6 weeks apart are recommended, depending on your unique skin features.
