Micro-needling

The micro-needling procedure is fast becoming the first choice in facial rejuvenation thanks to its incredible results and reduced downtime. It works via very fine micro-needles gently piercing the skin and reaching the platelets in your blood. The skin responds by stimulating the formation of new collagen fibres and improving local blood supply. Growth factors are released resulting in skin rejuvenation and the restoration of a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is the main structural protein that provides skin strength and elasticity in addition to replacing dead skin cells. As we age naturally our body produces less collagen which can result in volume loss and deficiency.

How Many Sessions Will I Require?
