Microneedling
Microneedling is an innovative treatment method to gently rejuvenate, firm and lift skin. The procedure implies finest needles penetrating the skin vertically to trigger an inflammatory reaction that stimulates its self-healing powers. New collagen and elastic fibres are then built, giving the skin new firmness and elasticity. Besides the needling effect as such, active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be applied transdermally.
Microneedling is a sustainable treatment that aims to achieve a long-term effect.
