30 Minute Duration
Your smoothest skin ever for face and body.
Why we love it…
This is a truly ageless procedure. It is a preventative as well as a corrective treatment for patients with light to dark skin types. It is a proven, non-invasive treatment to visibly improve skin’s tone and texture, tighten skin, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face and body.
How it works…
Microneedling works by applying sterile microneedles deep into the dermis of the skin. These needles 1) create microscopic channels that stimulate the natural production of collagen and 2) deliver radio-frequency heat energy at the desired depths to promote remodeling of collagen and elastin that tightens and lifts the skin.

The benefit of RF Microneedling is that the collagen you build is your own so results are natural, immediate and will continue to improve with time. It can take up to 4-6 weeks to see full benefits.
-
For best results, we highly recommend completing a series of three to five treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
-
Your provider will apply a topical numbing prior to the treatment for added comfort.
