Micro-needling
£80
Micro-needling is a cosmetic procedure that
involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (micro
needling the skin).
Micro-needling is a safe, chemical-free, and minimally invasive technique
for stimulating collagen production. Collagen and elastin give skin its
texture, structure, and appearance. As we age, these compounds break
down from the sun and environmental damage leading to dry thin and
wrinkled skin. Micro-needling is a mechanical method for reversing this
breakdown.
