What is Microneedling?
Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling or micropenning,
has been shown to have an incredible effect on the health and beauty of your skin. The concept is simple, by inflicting thousands of imperceptible injuries to the top layer of skin, the body is encouraged to produce additional collagen and regenerate the surface layer with fresh, unblemished skin. Unsurprisingly, it’s becoming one of the most popular beauty treatments around.

Frequently asked questions
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to help keep you comfortable throughout the session. After treatment, mild redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling are normal and typically last 24 to 72 hours.
During the healing process, it is important to avoid excessive sun exposure, heavy workouts, makeup, and harsh skincare products while keeping the skin hydrated and protected for the best results.
Absolutely. One of the best things for damaged skin is an influx of new collagen, an influx that occurs when the skin is treated with microneedling. Collagen has been shown to help reverse sun damage and help with discoloration. Even more amazing is that this process has been shown to be effective in the treatment of melasma, a condition in which hyperpigmentation results in brown blotching on the skin.
Microneedling can be done anywhere on the body where you want to see shrunken pores, tighten skin, and renewed elasticity. Most treatments of this type are only able to be used on the facial area, while microneedling can be done anywhere you have stretch marks, acne scars, or just aging skin you’d like to see rejuvenated.
I’ve Got Large Pores, Will Microneedling help?
Absolutely! While poking your skin full of thousands of tiny holes may not sound like the most intuitive way to shrink your pores, but the results speak for themselves. Pores actually dramatically reduce in size as a result of the plumping effect of renewed collagen, making them appear smaller or completely closed.
