What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a pen-like machine with tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. Nooooo, it is not as scary as you might think…. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, and one of the benefits of microneedling is that it results in increased collagen and elastin production, and improved skin texture and tone. It sounds scary I know, but it really is not, Microneedling is super safe!! And when done correctly there is absolutely no scarring or damage to the skin. It is also not as painful as some might think.
Some therapists use numbing cream… But if you feel like you are a little pain sensitive I use numbing cream too, most of my clients do not require numbing cream.
During the microneedling procedure, a professional trained and licensed skincare therapist will use a handheld pen-like device with multiple fine needles to puncture the skin. The device looks like a pen, and the needles are so close to each other, it’s smaller than the tip of your fingernail. The device is rolled/moved over the skin, creating tiny punctures or channels that trigger the body’s natural healing response for the best anti aging results. The procedure is generally performed on the face, but it can also be done on other parts of the body, like on scarring, stretchmarks and the scalp for promoting hair growth.
How Long Is The Procedure?
Depending on your skin concerns and our chosen treatmet plan, it can take from 30min to 90min in total.

I recommend doing microneedling at least once a month for the first few months, then you can do it twice a quarter. It’s important to keep the maintenance so your investment is worth it, both financially as well as for your skin to stay supple, young and glowing.
Ask me for a special package if you are willing to invest in a monthly treatment and be consistent. It can be pricey, however If you commit then we can work out a long term package that suits your budget.
