Dermal Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive treatment that promotes natural skin regeneration and improves overall skin appearance. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, this procedure stimulates the body’s healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for skin’s strength, elasticity, and smooth texture.

How It Works:

During the treatment, a device with fine, sterile needles is used to create micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures stimulate your skin’s repair mechanisms, helping to regenerate new, healthy skin cells. The process also enhances the absorption of active serums and growth factors, allowing deeper penetration of nourishing ingredients.

Benefits:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

• Improves skin texture and tone

• Minimizes acne scars and enlarged pores

• Firms and tightens sagging skin

• Enhances skin radiance

• Boosts collagen production for long-term anti-aging benefits

Perfect For:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Uneven skin texture and tone

• Acne scars

• Stretch marks

• Enlarged pores

• Sun-damaged skin

• Sagging skin (especially on the face, neck, and décolletage)

Treatment Plan:

For optimal results, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended. Maintenance treatments can be done every 6-12 months, depending on your skin's needs.

What to Expect:

While Dermal Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, some redness and mild swelling may occur immediately after the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. You may also experience light peeling in the days following the treatment as your skin renews itself.

For best results a course of 3 is recommended, or this can be added onto any regular facial for a boost.​

Epidermal Microneedling is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that focuses on the outer layer of your skin, using a needle length of up to 0.3mm. This is a surface-level microneedling technique designed to enhance the skin's overall texture, tone, and appearance with minimal discomfort and downtime.

How It Works:

During Epidermal Microneedling, a device with fine, sterile needles is used to create micro-punctures in the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response without causing significant trauma, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.

At 0.3mm, the microneedles are perfect for targeting superficial concerns like uneven skin texture, fine lines, and dullness. The treatment also enhances the absorption of active serums, vitamins, and growth factors, delivering deeper penetration of nourishing ingredients into the skin.

Benefits:

• Improves overall skin texture and tone

• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles

• Boosts skin radiance and glow

• Reduces appearance of enlarged pores

• Enhances the absorption of skincare products

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production

• Perfect for rejuvenating and refreshing the skin

Perfect For:

• Dull, lackluster skin

• Fine lines and surface wrinkles

• Uneven skin texture

• Enlarged pores

• Mild acne scarring

• Sun damage

Treatment Plan:

For best results, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Results improve with each session as collagen production increases and skin texture becomes smoother and more even. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled every 6-12 months, depending on individual skin needs.

What to Expect:

Epidermal Microneedling at 0.3mm is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some clients may experience mild redness or a slight tingling sensation immediately after the treatment, which usually fades within a few hours to a day. Light peeling or dryness may occur in the days following the treatment as the skin renews.
