MICRO NEEDLING

MICRO NEEDLING

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that encourages collagen production using tiny, sterilized needles. It may help smooth, firm, and tone skin and improve the appearance of scars, acne, and wrinkles.

 

What does the microneedling procedure involve ?

When you arrive to your microneedling appointment you will be brought into a private treatment room. Your skin will be cleansed and a numbing agent will be applied to your skin for 15-30 minutes. The numbing agent will be removed and your skin will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution. The Registered nurse will decide what needle depth to treat at depending on your skin concern and treatment area. A Health canada approved microneedling device with a non reusable tip will be used and a topical hyaluronic acid will be applied during the procedure. After the procedure you will relax under an LED light to help reduce redness and improve the healing process.
