Skin Needling
FOR SMOOTHER, HEALTHIER SKIN
Skin Needling stimulates the production of your collagen to create smoother, healthier skin. It reduces acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, blackheads and scarring.
Great results don’t just happen in the clinic, the pre and post care for your treatment also has a dramatic effect on the outcome. Preparation is required before some peels, please refer to our pre-treatment care and post-treatment care information below.
