collagen induction therapy
Micro-Needling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses very small needles that mechanically perforate the outer layers of the skin. This creates a controlled injury underneath the skin’s surface and then inducing the body to respond by producing more collagen in the treated area. Micro-needling has been clinically proven to reduce wrinkles, stretch marks, different kinds of scars, and hyperpigmentation.
Benefits of Micro-Needling:
- Wrinkles and fine lines improvement
- Skin rejuvenation
- Skin tightening
- Skin lifting
- Acne scars improvement
- Pore size improvement
- Wound healing
- Stretch marks improvement
- Alopecia improvement
Clients describe the sensation of micro-needling similar to little pin prickles. A topical numbing cream will be applied to decrease any discomfort. The depth of the needles that we use at LiLyDermis medispa, also determines the level of sensitivity. Immediate pinpoint bleeding will occur, which will resolve within 10 minutes. Depending on the area and condition, we recommend a series of 3-6 micro-needling treatments.
