Local, Professional Microneedling in Plymouth
As a minimally invasive treatment, micro needles penetrate the upper layers of the skin and create micro wounds. These wounds trigger a natural healing response by the body, which responds and stimulates the new production of collagen and elastin fibres. This treatment is combined with specific high-quality serums to target the individual’s skin concerns. The serum penetrates the skin, which ultimately enhances the results.
