Restore the more youthful you

What is dermal needling?

As we age the production of the fibroblast cells that stimulates the growth of the collagen and elastin diminishes, which will result in sagging of the skin, appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and loose skin. Dermal needling a method of collagen induction therapy, using the Dermapen4 the needling creates tiny micro-channels into the dermis which triggers the growth of fibroblast cells that will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Resulting in resurfacing, retexturizing and overall plumper and smoother-looking skin. Combining PRP (platelet-rich plasma) with dermal needling can further enhance skin rejuvenation and healing.

Benefits of Dermal Needling

Boosts Collagen Production: The tiny needles stimulate your skin to produce more collagen, which helps firm and tighten your skin, making it look youthful and healthy.

Reduces Acne Scars: This treatment effectively diminishes the appearance of acne scars by promoting new skin cell growth and healing damaged tissue.
