Micro-needling, (skin needling) is a procedure using a device covered with tiny, shallow needles that essentially poke holes in the skin surface.  Those holes are actually therapeutic since they cause a ‘micro injury’ that prompts the skin to stimulate collagen production, filling in fine lines, plumping the skin, evening out skin pigmentation, and contributing to a more youthful look.

Many of us are afraid of needles however if you can tolerate a few minutes of slight discomfort (we do use numbing cream to reduce the annoying prickling feeling caused by the machine) this minimally invasive treatment is incredibly effective. 

The needles used are so fine that they’re almost invisible (about the width of an eyelash) and only penetrate the epidermis (the top layer of skin). There is no downtime, very little discomfort, or post-treatment care. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after their micro-needling appointment.

Micro-needling is a very cost-effective treatment when you consider how much improvement can be seen in one visit.
