As your body ages, it generally slows down in the production of various enzymes and hormones which the body needs to keep looking younger and youthful. The skin is the first organ to show signs of aging as the loss of elastin, collagen and moisture mean that your skin becomes more prone to wrinkles, fine lines, age-related acne as well as developing pigmentation and suffering from sagginess. ​

What Is Microneedling?
​
Microneedling is a process through which the upper layer (epidermis) of the skin receives tiny, micro channels that pierce down to a depth of 2.5mm. In some cases, this depth can be deeper but it depends largely on what you’re targeting. The body reacts to these micro holes by signaling to your skin that it needs to repair itself.
This stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and acne scars, and enhance overall skin tone resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin​
​
Before microneedling, the skin is numbed to keep the treatment comfortable, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort.

Not Just for Aging Skin — Microneedling is actually perfect to be used for a large number of skin conditions. This means that you don’t need to have aging skin to see benefits from the use of microneedling. Someone with mild acne can also benefit from microneedling.
​
Results Visible in Weeks – Microneedling results are often noticeable within 7–10 days as the skin begins to heal and glow. Improvements in texture, tone, and pore appearance continue to develop over the next 4–6 weeks as new collagen forms. For best results, a series of treatments is typically recommended, with results becoming more dramatic over time.​
​
Does It Work Well In Conjunction With Other Procedures? – Yes. Microneedling works very well when combined with other aesthetic treatments, and pairing procedures is often recommended to enhance and extend results. Combination treatments should always be customized and properly spaced by a trained provider to ensure safety and optimal results.
