How Microneedling Works
Skin Cleansing & Numbing
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Microneedling Application
A device with fine, sterile needles creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin at a controlled depth, triggering the body's wound healing response.
Serum Application
Hydrating serums, growth factors, or PRP are applied during or after needling. The micro-channels allow up to 90% better absorption compared to topical application.
Soothing & Protection
A calming serum and SPF are applied. The skin will appear red, similar to a mild sunburn, and will heal over the next 1-3 days.
