WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling is a popular, non-invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of your skin. By using tiny, sterile needles, we create controlled micro-channels to your skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting the production of collagen and elastin - key components for youthful, radiant skin. In clinic, we are also able to add exosomes to your microneedling treatment. These are a groundbreaking treatment within aesthetics. Exosomes help to enhance skin rejuvenation and increase hydration.

Whether you're looking to improve skin hydration and texture, smooth out fine lines or reduce acne scars, microneedling is an effective treatment. Here are a few of the benefits of microneedling:
