Micro Needling
Micro needling is an intensive treatment where small channels are created in the skin using sterile, fine needles. This stimulates cell division and the production of collagen and elastin. The result is fuller, smoother and firmer skin. Ideal for coarse skin texture, small scars and fine lines.
Why micro needling is so powerful
Micro needling is one of the most effective treatments for skin rejuvenation and scar improvement. With the advanced Dermapen 4, we create thousands of microscopically small channels in your skin. This may sound invasive, but it's precisely this controlled 'micro-damage' that triggers your skin to intensively repair itself. Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin - the building blocks for firm, youthful skin. Moreover, through these channels, we can deliver powerful serums deep into the skin, where they work much more effectively than with regular application. The result after a series: visibly smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin.
What micro needling can help with
Micro needling is suitable for people who want to work on: acne scars, surgical scars or trauma scars, skin sagging, fine lines and early wrinkles, enlarged pores or uneven texture, dull skin or pigmentation shifts. We look at the right treatment intensity and depth for each person.
