Unlock Your Skin's Potential
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
