Microneedling is used to treat fine lines, improve skin laxity and the appearance of
scarring through collagen induction.
As a method of collagen induction, microneedling improves the appearance of fine lines, laxity, loss of volume, and acne scarring.

Yes, it is common to microneedle on neck and decollete as well as areas
where you are concerned about scarring or laxity in skin.
How many treatments are recommended to see results?

At least 3-5 treatments to see improvements in your skin.
What is the post-treatment care for microneedling?
Immediately following the treatment, the use of active products such as retinol
and exfoliants should be avoided for 3 days.
A gentle cleanser and sunscreen are necessary, and protective hydrators or balms are helpful to protect from moisture loss. Vitamin C and hydrating serums can be used according to tolerance.
It is important for 24 hours to avoid heat, exercise and hot saunas in order to manage inflammation.
Who can NOT receive microneedling?
Microneedling is NOT suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding clients. This is due to the
numbing agent that is used during the treatment.
