SkinPen Microneedling
What It Does
Microneedling is a treatment that improves the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen production. This reduces the appearance of fine lines, crepiness, enlarged pores, acne scars and melasma.
These results are achieved by causing a controlled injury to the skin using the SkinPen Microneedling device, which triggers the skin’s healing response. This increased collagen production makes the skin look smoother, more refined and brighter. In combination with medical grade skincare, it also helps to lighten Melasma by breaking up the pigment in the dermis and epidermis.
To enhance the results of microneedling even further and to speed healing afterwards, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), Growth Factors or Hyaluronic Acid can be added to the treatment. The most common areas to have treated are the face and neck, however, areas of the body can be treated as well.
Benefits
- Overall improvement of skin texture

A small amount of blood may appear on the surface of the skin but will be cleansed off before the treatment is complete.
