Fine Lines & Wrinkles
The micro-injuries created by microneedling stimulate collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to boost collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Using a medical-grade microneedling device, controlled micro-injuries are created in the skin, triggering a natural renewal response that may improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven tone.
Under the medical direction of Dr. Rajiv Sood, board-certified plastic surgeon.
