Medical Needling

Skin Needling Treatment

Skin needling (also known as microneedling) is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, essential proteins for firm, smooth, and youthful skin.

How It Works

Creates multiple superficial puncture wounds in the skin to trigger a natural healing response
Releases growth factors that activate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin
Targets the dermis without damaging the epidermis or healthy surrounding tissue
Results in improved skin tone, texture, and firmness
Helps reverse collagen loss caused by aging, injury, or environmental factors

Benefits of Skin Needling

Improves overall skin texture and tone
Reduces hyperpigmentation and uneven skin color
Minimizes acne scars and other scarring
Firms loose or lax skin

Enhances healing of body scars
Suitable for most areas of the body
