Microneedling

Microneedling

Microneedling, also referred to as "collagen induction therapy" or "dermaneedling", is a minimally invasive treatment using very fine sterile needles to create millions of controlled micro-channels (microscopic holes) in the skin, at a rate of 1600 per second. By creating a controlled injury, these wounds will stimulate your skin, kicking its healing process into high gear. This treatment has been proven to continue to deliver results beyond 12+ months. Requires little to no downtime.

Each treatment includes a thorough cleanse, numbing, microneedling and a post treatment product to take home.

Our SkinPen device is the very first FDA-cleared micro needling device and is Health Canada approved.
