Microneedling
Microneedling
A device is used to make small microchannels in the skin, usually the face, neck, chest or hands, allowing for a healing process to build new collagen. This is great for fine lines, skin tightening, scar reduction and gives the skin an overall “glow”. Consider using this with with PRP, platelet rich plasma (vampire facial) or PRF (platelet rich fibrin) for an increased effect!
