This treatment addresses acne scars, enlarged pores, loose skin, and wrinkles, resulting in overall improvement in the quality of your skin.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, you will be pre-assessed to ensure that you get the most out of your microneedling treatment. A physical examination of your skin will be performed to evaluate your concerns. You will discuss your complete medical history, including any existing illnesses, previous treatments, and current medications.

The Procedure

To begin, the patient’s face will be cleansed to remove any chemicals that would interfere with the procedure. Then, numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to alleviate any discomfort during the treatment.

A Dermapen will then be used to induce microinjuries in the tissues. The patient might experience skin tightness that feels similar to being sunburned, but it will pass quickly.
