Microneedling (sometimes called collagen induction therapy) uses a pen of very fine, sterile needles to make tiny, controlled channels in the skin. The skin responds by repairing itself, and over a course of treatments that repair can soften scarring, refine pores and smooth fine lines.
Every cartridge is single-use and opened in front of you. We set the depth for each area of your face at the consultation, more gently around the eyes and more deeply over scarring.
A medical treatment: it starts with a consultation with one of our prescribers, who checks your health and medicines and only treats if it is right for you. Results vary from person to person.
