Immediately following an injury, our skin begins the process of dissolving tissue damage and replacing it with new cells. Microneedling allows for controlled induction of the skin's self-repair process. When the tiny needle enter the skins surface layer, it automatically triggers new collagen synthesis without causing scar tissue formation. The micro channesl created by the needles allow product to penetrate deeper into the skin, resulting in better product efficacy.

The number of treatments required will be determined by your skincare professional based upon your individual treatment goals and the health of your skin. Most patients receive a series of 5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars, 6-8 sessions at 4-6 week intervals are usually recommended.
