Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause a controlled injury to the skin and stimulate a healing response from your body to make more collagen and elastin. This will heal your skin and help you look younger. 

We offer two types of microneedling at our clinic. 

​

Microneedling may help with issues like:

​

• Acne

• Hair loss (also called alopecia)

• Dark spots or patches on your skin (hyperpigmentation)

• Large pores

• Reduced skin elasticity

• Scars

• Stretch marks

• Sun damage

• Fine lines and wrinkles

 

Microneedling may work better for people with darker skin tones because it doesn’t involve heat like laser treatments, which can affect your skin’s pigmentation or colour. 

​

Microneedling can be performed alone, with added PRP (Vampire facial) or we also offer microneedling with Radiofrequency, a more powerful treatment to assist with skin tightening. If the procedure uses radiofrequency waves, it’s called radiofrequency microneedling. The needle releases radiofrequency into the channels, causing additional damage. This enhances the effects of standard microneedling.

​

How Does (RF) Micro-Needling Work?

​

In addition to tightening and constricting the skin, the radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the underlying layers of skin, stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The RF energy can yield more dramatic benefits more quickly  since it causes more trauma.

Through the use of a gold-plated needle device, radiofrequency is  delivered deep into the skin's dermal layers during RF microneedling. Deep heating from the radio frequency results in progressive and continuous benefits such as skin tightening, resurfacing, and stimulation of collagen.
