Microneedling is one of the best ways to penetrate your wrinkles and give you radiant skin appearing 10 years younger in as little as the 1^st treatment! After your Skin Needling treatment, the Proper use of At Home Products is essential for glowing and hydrated skin!

Microneedling treats light scarring and fine to deep wrinkles. Using a machine for the procedure, the needle cluster is gently inserted into the epidermis and top layer of the dermis.

Microneedling promotes the natural reproduction of collagen and elastin, making the skin feel smoother and tighter. We treat only the area that needs attention. We do not work on any tissue outside the boundaries of the wrinkles or scar tissue, as this will make the wrinkle appear even deeper.

Microneedling stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing reaction to produce natural collagen.

With microscopic punctures in the epidermis/dermis, Microneedling is minimally invasive with little damage to the epidermis/dermis.

Clients who choose Microneedling procedures have minimal ‘down time’ and swelling, and most people return to work the following day.

What Is the Needle Depth of Penetration?

The insertion depth of the needle is approximately .07mm, but this measurement depends on the severity of the wrinkles and the client’s desired results. For fine wrinkles, we barely insert the needle into the skin, for heavy wrinkles the needle penetration is deeper.
