Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and firmness. Our board-certified dermatologists use advanced microneedling technology to reduce fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores—revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.

About

  • Microneedling involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and promote a healthy glow.
  • The treatment can be enhanced with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for better results. PRP involves using the patient’s own blood to extract growth factors, which are then applied to the skin to accelerate healing and rejuvenation.
