MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure involving the movement of a pen like device with an attached sterile, disposable cartridge tip containing small needles over the skin's surface. The microneedles puncture the skin and create tiny micro injuries that are not visible to the naked eye. These tiny punctures stimulate tissue regeneration, which includes the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins responsible for maintaining healthy firm and youthful skin.
This process breaks the old and damaged strands of collagen in target tissues and leads to the production of new collagen, which improves the structure and function of the skin while improving its appearance.

Acne scars and surgical scars

Skin texture and tone
The collagen and elastin synthesis can help improve overall skin texture and tone, making the skin appear smoother, more refined, and healthier.
Stretch marks
Stimulating collagen and elastin production helps to make the skin texture smoother and reduces the visibility of stretch marks.
Enlarged pores
Contributes to minimising the size of enlarged pores, resulting in a smoother and more refined skin texture.
Pigmentation
