Microneedling
Microneedling involves using tiny needles to puncture the top layer of your skin, which trigger collagen and elastin production. The new collagen and elastin production helps the skin look fuller, smoother, supple, and healthy.

Does Microneedling Hurt?
Yes! The best way to describe it would be multiple rubber band snaps on your skin. Before and after treatment ice can be applied to alleviate some of the feeling. During treatment a topical anesthetic can be used to further alleviate the pain. For some the pain is greatly worth their individual results. For others a laser treatment may be best.
