MICRO-Needling facials

Micro-Needling is a cosmetic treatment that involves repeatedly piercing the stratum corneum, producing microscopic holes, using sterile needles (0.1mm - 2.5mm in length) to create controlled skin injury in order to rejuvenate the skin.  These microscopic wounds lead to the release of growth factors stimulating the form of new collagen, elastin and neovascularization in the dermis. This treatment is carried out using a mechanical machine that causes less trauma to the surrounding tissue, giving you less down time after the treatment.  During the treatment phamaceutical corrective serums are selected according to the specific concerns you have.

Micro-Needling is used to treat and improve the following conditions:

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles
• Scars
• Hyperpigmentation
• Rosacea
• Enlarged Pores
• Premature Skin Ageing
• Stretch Marks
• Hair Loss
• Age Spots
• Acne
• Dull Complexion

This treatment is also known as Skin Needling, Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI).  Almost anyone can have the treatment providing there are no underlying health issues.

This treatment is the celebrities' best kept secret to flawless, glowing skin.  Stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, Angelia Jolie and Kim Kardashian all rave over the wonders of Micro-Needling.
