Pro Microneedling treatment
Pro MicroNeedling is an advanced service designed to get maximum results for hyperpigmentation, pores, lines and wrinkles.
MicroNeedling activates the skin’s repair process and collagen production. This minimally invasive treatment uses the most advanced techniques and is elevated with a chemical peel to target dark spots, wrinkles and pores. Combined with Pro Restore, our recovery and firming concentrate that is designed to prepare the skin’s barrier, restores its condition, decrease downtime, and amplify your microneedling results.
MicroNeedling uses skin needling devices to perforate the skin creating thousands of pinprick, fractional wounds (micro injuries) that trigger an inflammatory reaction. This inflammatory response initiates natural repair processes that promote skin rejuvenation.
It is often described as a non-ablative treatment as it creates controlled damage to skin tissue without removal of the protective epidermis.
It is known by many names including Skin Needling, Micro Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy.
