Microneedling
​
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure using thin needles that's commonly used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including: Scars, Enlarged pores, Wrinkles, Stretch marks, and Uneven skin tone. Microneedling works by stimulating the skin's healing process, which causes the body to produce more collagen and elastin. These proteins help keep the skin firm and smooth.

Treatments are usually spaced 3–8 weeks apart, and multiple sessions are needed to see the desired results.
Performance of 4 treatments at monthly intervals is recommended.
