Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is the process of creating micro injuries by the microneedling pen to trigger and intensify the release of collagen and elastin formation. It treats your skin from inside out and outside in. Microneedling is safe for all skin types and addresses a wide range of problems such as acne scars, stretch marks, dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

What is the downtime?
Significant healing takes place within the first 2 hours post treatment and healing is mostly completed within 24-48 hours. The healing time depends on the severity of your damaged skin, the depth of the microneedling procedure, and the nature of the skin. Slight swelling, heat, and redness (like a mild sunburn) can last up to 3 days in some people.
