Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a specialized device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which are essential for youthful, resilient skin. It effectively improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks while promoting smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin. For enhanced results, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or Exosomes can be added to the microneedling treatment. PRP uses your own blood’s growth factors to accelerate healing and rejuvenation, while Exosomes deliver healing proteins to further boost skin regeneration. The treatment can be tailored to address your specific skin concerns, making it a versatile option for many clients.
A powerful skin-renewal treatment that combines the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling with the resurfacing power of the VI Peel. Microneedling creates controlled microchannels to improve texture, fine lines, and acne scars, while the VI Peel deeply exfoliates and targets pigmentation and sun damage. This advanced treatment reveals smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin and supports long-term rejuvenation.
