What is Microneedling? Everything You Need to Know.
If you are looking to revitalize your skin and improve its overall health, microneedling is the answer. Microneedling is the safest option for skin procedures and is recommended for treating bad skin, scars, wrinkles, discolouration, and enlarged pores. Microneedling is done on the face, neck, chest, and even hands.
How is it done?
Microneedling is done with a tiny hand-held needle machine, used to help trigger the body’s natural ability to promote new collagen and elastin fibres, as well as new capillaries which fill the channels that are created during the process. ALL MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURES SHOULD BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL.
The process:
After a brief consultation with your certified skin practitioner, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and a numbing cream is applied to the area you want done. This is to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
Next, a Peptide solution (Amino Acids) is applied with a small pen that contains a sterile, disposable tip, containing the Micro Needles. The pen is gently moved over the skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced punctures.
After the treatment is completed, a complex repair cream or Vitamin C is applied to protect it during the healing process along with sunblock to protect the skin from sun damage.
Is it safe?
Yes, extremely. This procedure is safe for all skin types and does not harm sensitive areas as other procedures often do. Medical Micro Needling is a safe alternative to Botox, laser treatments and peels.

What is EPN Microneedling?
Electroporation (EPN) is a technique where an electrical field is applied to cells to increase the permeability of the membranes, allowing products to be introduced into the cell more efficiently.
The combination of microneedling and electroporation within one hand-held device maximizes the production of new collagen and elastin fibres while delivering a safe and minimally invasive treatment. This means that the results are maximized as serums with high molecular weight are induced into deeper dermal layers of skin.
So in summary…
Microneedling is used for anti-aging, and after a few sessions, you can look up to 15 years younger! The benefits of microneedling are well worth the price, and ultimately, one of the best things you can do for yourself to maintain that youthful glow of perfect skin.
