Everything you need to know about Microneedling

Tricking your body into creating more collagen? It’s not a magic trick, it’s science!

Here is all the essential information about Microneedling and why it’s one of the best preventative treatment out there.

Not-so-fun fact: Collagen production starts slowing down in our mid 20s. It’s what keeps our skin firm and youthful! We lose about 1% each year from our mid-20s, with effects showing over time.

UV exposure, pollution, bad habits, and poor diet can speed this up. This loss of collagen causes our skin to sag, look dull and dry. 

We have a treatment for that. Microneedling boosts your body’s natural collagen-production helping to prevent and restore collagen loss.

Why you’ll be obsessed with it: 

  • Promotes tighter and firmer skin

  • Decreases hyperpigmentation

  • Improves appearance of acne scars

  • Improves texture and tone

Your collagen production increases by 400% after just 4 microneedling sessions!

How Microneedling works

  1. Micro needles create tiny punctures on your face.

  2. The micro-injuries stimulate your body’s wound-healing response so it creates more collagen to repair itself.

  3. Collagen helps with the overall plumpness of the skin, pigmentation and texture giving you smooth, even and tighter skin.

Because Microneedling is a bunch micro needles creating tiny punctures on your face, a common concern is that it will be painful.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Microneedling is very tolerable thanks to the strong medical grade numbing cream we use.

You may feel more sensitive in certain areas, like the delicate skin around your eyes and lips, as well as areas near bone, like the forehead.

And for our menstruating clients, you may feel more pain if your period is around the corner or currently on your period.

But overall, many of our clients would rate it a 2/10 on the pain scale!

A client on our Google Reviews even wrote “Whatever numbing cream they use there is amazing and I felt basically nothing and was comfortable the whole time.”
