Medical Microneedling

Enhance your patient's injectable results with Medical Microneedling - a non-surgical and non-ablative procedure used to treat various skin conditions such as aging (wrinkles, stretching), scarring (acne, surgical), hyper-pigmentation, cellulite and hair loss.

Medical Microneedling technology uses Health Canada & FDA approved devices which offer very fine, surgical-grade sterile needles to create micro-channels up to 2.0mm in the dermis to stimulate new collagen/elastin production and can reduce the need for dermal filler. The resulting micro-channels also aid in infusing therapeutic serums, allowing for greater penetration and increasing overall efficacy of active ingredient.
