MICRONEEDLING
ALSO KNOWN AS COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
Collagen Induction Therapy or "Microneedling", is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-channels on the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Results show improved skin tone/texture, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, reduction in pore size, as well as improvement of scarring mostly due to acne.
How many treatments should I expect to need?
Anywhere from 3-6 treatments can be expected.
Depending on the degree of improvements you require, we may recommend anywhere from three to six treatments. Each treatment is set about a month apart.
