Who will benefit from this facial?

Whether you are dealing with loss of collagen, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone or scaring, MicroNeedling is an amazing restorative option. It is a simple and effective way to bring the skin back to optimum health. MicroNeedling creates microscopic channels in the skin to kick-start a regeneration process that improves the appearance of enlarged pores, acne scars, and loss of firmness, especially around the eyes.

What to expect

During: Shortly before your MicroNeedling Facial, a topical numbing cream will be applied for additional comfort. Don’t let this scare you! Your skin therapist will be gentle as they treat your skin for up to 20 minutes. They will move the MicroNeedling pen across your skin while adding hyaluronic acid. This
will penetrate deeper into the dermis through the open channels for optimum absorbtion.

After: Immediately following your MicroNeedling Facial the skin will appear pink/red and feel hot and stingy. This typically lasts for a few hours. The mico-channels
created in your dermis will remain open for several hours so be careful to touch the skin only with clean hands, and only apply the serum provided. Do not cleanse the skin the night of your facial or apply any actives.

The next morning your skin will feel dry, tight.. Again, it’s normal if the skin appears slightly pink/red. This typically lasts about 4-5 days. Some light peeling will occur around days 4 and 5.

When you should get this facial:

The number and frequency of MicroNeedling Facials we suggest upfront will be tailored to your skincare goals. Many find the sweet spot of visible improvements between four and six treatments. Routine MicroNeedling Facials are also popular as part of an overall skin care regimen and are ideal during the colder months.

Where this facial works on your skin:

The tiny, sterile needles create tiny injuries in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin.

How the technology works

The MicroNeedling Facial increases the production of collagen by creating tiny injuries in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. These tiny injuries create microchannels into the dermis which increase the absorption rate of active ingredients to 70-90% compared to topical application (7%).
