How it works

Your skin's own repair process

Microneedling uses the skin's natural healing response.

  1. 01

    Channels

    Fine needles create tiny, controlled channels in the skin.

  2. 02

    Repair

    The skin responds by starting its repair process.

  3. 03

    Collagen

    New collagen and elastin form over the following weeks.

  4. 04

    Absorption

    Serums applied after treatment absorb more deeply.

Your visit

Before, during and after

Before

A skin assessment, and guidance on pausing active ingredients like retinoids before your session.

During

Numbing cream is applied first. The pen glides over the skin; most people feel light vibration and pressure.

After

Skin looks flushed, like a mild sunburn, for a day or two. Use gentle skincare and daily sunscreen.
