COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a non-surgical face treatment that involves
using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries on
your skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your skin’s natural
healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production
for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion. It is
relatively painless and minimally invasive, and it’s suitable
for all skin types.
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is similar to traditional
microneedling, but it includes the use of radiofrequency
energy. This energy is transmitted through the needles,
heating your skin tissue to tighten and rejuvenate the
targeted area further.
Microneedling is excellent for addressing a variety of
skin concerns. It can help improve skin texture, reduce
fine lines and wrinkles, minimise the appearance of scars
(particularly acne scars), shrink enlarged pores, even out
skin tone, and tighten skin.
Before treatment, your skin will be cleansed and prepped
with a numbing cream. The microneedling device will then
be guided across your skin, creating microscopic punctures.
After the procedure, your skin might feel tight and slightly
swollen, but these feelings will typically subside within a
few hours. You may experience redness in the treated area
for a few days, resembling a sunburn.
