Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. It involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures on the surface of the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin.

Types of Skin Needling
There are three main types of microneedling offered to help rejuvenate the face. Each of which comes with its own host of benefits.
Microneedling
Microneedling is the use of a device embedded with many fine needles that are repeatedly pushed in and out of the skin causing micro-injuries. This stimulates the body to repair the tiny punctures by producing more collagen and elastin.
Microneedling has been used for many years as a leading dermal treatment to restore the body’s fine lines with little impact on skin pigmentation.
Vampire Microneedling
This method combines the use of microneedling with a procedure known as PRP – platelet-rich plasma. PRP involves drawing and centrifuging the blood with a plasma-rich protein which is then incorporated into the skin needling treatment.
Although this process results in more bruising and a longer downtime than the latter, it is effective in those with deeper skin injuries and scarring.
Infini Skin Needling
Microneedling with the use of radiofrequency energy is known as the Infini skin needling technique. Using FDA-approved machinery, we use a matrix of small needles alongside radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper layers of the epidermis without damaging the skin. This is beneficial for those who want to treat the signs of aging but also achieve a tighter skin complexion.
A session lasts 30–60 minutes, including preparation time (e.g., numbing cream application)
