If you have large pores and enlarged skin this treatment will help to reduce these whilst also improving the skin tone and allowing for the optimum level of absorption of skincare products. This can be very beneficial for hyperpigmentation and sun damaged skin as well.

Microneedling Treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that causes your body to create new collagen and skin cells. As your skin produces these, it will begin to smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and even improve the look of pock marks and scarring. This is a great treatment for people who are concerned about premature aging that results from sun damage or lifestyle habits like smoking.

During the procedure, your dermatologist or esthetician will clean your face before applying a numbing cream or ointment. This should be done about 30 minutes prior to your procedure to ensure it has had time to take effect.

After your skin has been prepped, the dermatologist or esthetician will place a sterile microneedling pen against your skin and move it in a gliding motion. This will create a pinprick effect on your skin that will stimulate the healing process.

Your skin may feel itchy or irritated after your treatment, but this should go away on its own within 7 days. You should avoid using harsh products on your skin or having any other treatments like chemical peels until the irritation subsides. If you do, the skin could become irritated and may not heal as well.
