How does Micro-Needling work?

Micro-needling of the medical grade involves the use of fine needles to cause controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This triggers the skin's wound healing process, stimulating it to repair the damage and bring the skin back to its healthiest looking state.

The repair process helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles, sagging and texture irregularities such as acne pitting or stretch marks.

Micro-needling also targets melanocytes responsible for melanin overproduction, allowing for a brighter more even skin tone.
