Microneedling
$400 per session | $650 per session with PRP
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that helps rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production.
How It Works
We create micro-injuries in the skin using a vibrating pen that has 36 hair-thin needles. This helps to stimulate collagen and elastin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and shrink enlarged pores or acne scars. We recommended 4-6 sessions about a month apart for correction of acne scars or other texture issues or a session every 3-4 months for preventative anti-aging.
What to Expect

• Do not use any topical agents that may increase sensitivity of skin for 5 days prior to your appointment.

• Do not go to a tanning salon or endure prolonged and unprotected sun exposure for at least 3 weeks before or after this treatment.
• Ensure you are well nourished and hydrated in the days leading up to and for your appointment. Healthy skin responds best to this treatment and will yield more favorable results! -
• Please come makeup-free if possible! If not, we will ask you to remove your makeup upon arrival.
