Microneedling
For texture and tone, in planned sessions.
Very fine needles make tiny channels in the skin, which prompts it to repair itself. It usually takes more than one session, so we plan the course with you before the first one.
Results vary and are not guaranteed. If screening shows it is not right for you, we will postpone it or suggest something else.
