How does Micro-needling work?
Through a 3-step process, it can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and pigmentation.
Step 1 – Inflammation :
Once Micro-needles have pierced the skin, triggering a natural immune system response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new tissue.
Step 2 – Proliferation :
The micro wounds created during the first step of the Micro-needling treatment are rebuilt with new granulation cells, including collagen proteins. Afterward, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Step 3 – Remodelling
The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels composed of rich collagen and elastin proteins, leading to a more youthful appearance of the skin, improved skin quality, visibly reduced facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, leaving skin more smooth and radiant.
