Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, promoting healing and giving your skin a more youthful appearance. It’s also known as collagen induction therapy.

This procedure may be beneficial for a variety of skin concerns, including:

- Acne
- Hair loss (alopecia)
- Dark spots or patches (hyperpigmentation)
- Enlarged pores
- Decreased skin elasticity
- Scars
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles

Pricing for microneedling is as follows:
- Microneedling: $350
- Microneedling with PRP: $550
