Microneedling: A Restorative Experience for Radiant, Healthy Skin.

Discover a unique blend of advanced skincare and deep relaxation with our microneedling treatments—where clinical results meet a calming, spa-like experience.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses sterile medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This gentle stimulation activates your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin —two vital proteins responsible for firm, smooth, and youthful-looking skin (replacement of yearly loss of collagen is an astounding 1:1 or more!). Not only does it stimulate the natural process of rejuvenation of one's skin by regeneration, it also provides a gentle exfoliation of old cells with little to no downtime.

We additionally provide multiple formulations of topical treatments that absorb 150% into the micro-channels created, and continue working their magic over your entire treatment regime.

Topical Absorption: Regular Application vs. Microneedling
On average, the skin absorbs only 4% to 8% of topical skincare products.
The outermost layer of the skin—the stratum corneum—acts as a barrier that limits the penetration of active ingredients, especially those in creams or serums with larger molecules.

Microneedling-Assisted Absorption:
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin that temporarily bypass the stratum corneum.
These micro-channels allow for up to %150 more absorption of topical serums and active ingredients, depending on the treatment and technique we use.

This significantly boosts the efficacy of our ingredients we use like:
-Hyaluronic acid/ Hylafuse (absorbed %150 more effectively than other forms of HA - intensely hydrates and improves the visible effects of aging, hyper-pigmentation, and acne. Products containing Hylafuse continue the absorption of water and active ingredients up to 8 hours after application, and continue to promote cell turnover, elastin and collagen production for months!)
-Retinol (Retinaldehyde - Anti-aging)
-Antioxidants fortified with Peptides, Vitamin A, B, C, E and Zinc. (for brightening and collagen synthesis, reduction of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restores basal barrier function, improves skin integrity)
-GGP (Geranylgeranylisopropanol -induces protein stimulation generating protection and prolonging lifetime of skin and reduction of fine lines/wrinkles - firmness and elasticity enhancement.)
-Peptides and growth factors (for regeneration)
-Centella asiatica extract (Korean skin care - Anti-inflammatory for compromised skin such as burns, eczema or psoriasis)
-Kojic acid, Licorice, Honey extract, Copper peptides, uva ursi leaf extract, zinc and so many other beneficial additional ingredients!

Microneedling not only stimulates collagen production on its own but also acts as a delivery system for products that would otherwise sit on the surface of the skin. When paired with medical-grade serums microneedling is a powerful clinically proven treatment that we elevate by catering to your specific skin care needs. We curate the perfect mixture of serums to help your skin undergo a true transformation.

Microneedling can address a wide range of concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles – Smooths signs of aging and improves skin firmness
Acne and acne scarring – Reduces inflammation, refines texture, and fades scars
Rosacea – Supports skin barrier repair and helps reduce redness
Hyperpigmentation and melasma – Evens skin tone and diminishes discoloration
Dullness and rough texture – Restores a radiant, velvety complexion
Skin laxity – Gently tightens and lifts sagging areas
Stretch marks – Breaks down scar tissue and encourages new collagen formation
Scars – Improves the appearance of surgical or injury-related scars
Enlarged pores – Minimizes the look of pores for a smoother finish
Hair thinning or hair loss – Revitalizes the scalp and supports healthy hair growth
Overall skin rejuvenation – Renews tired, stressed, or damaged skin

Whether you're seeking a luminous glow, targeted scar treatment, or a more youthful appearance, microneedling is a versatile solution that delivers results—without sacrificing comfort (we also provide numbing creams). Each session is customized to your skin’s unique needs, with professsional guidance for before and after treatment to support your journey.

Take time to heal, renew, and feel at ease—because your skin deserves care that works, and an experience that soothes.
