A natural alternative for smoother, younger looking skin
Holistic Microneedling
Holistic microneedling goes beyond skin deep, recognizing the profound connection between our inner well-being and outer beauty.
Utilizing a microneedling pen and body acupuncture points, this treatment offers a multitude of benefits, including improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, minimized scars, and a more even complexion.
Benefits
Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion.
Scar Reduction
Microneedling can effectively minimize the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks, by encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin tissue.
Improved Skin Texture
By promoting the growth of new skin cells and enhancing collagen formation, microneedling can improve skin texture, making it smoother, firmer, and more radiant.
Evened Skin Tone
This treatment can address hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and age spots, resulting in a more even skin tone and a brighter complexion.

The number of sessions needed can vary based on individual factors such as skin condition and desired results. Generally, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. However, this can be discussed in detail during the consultation.
After microneedling, there may be some redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. Most individuals can resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure.
