FAQS

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses professional-grade sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries, triggering the skin’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to effectively refine skin texture, smooth fine lines, and even out skin tone with minimal downtime.
