How they work, why they’re wonderful

Microneedling, also known as skin needling, is a unique treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to give you smoother, younger-looking skin. It’s an effective way to improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and scars without surgery and the downtime required afterward.

Here’s how it works.  Using a microneedle or an instrument called a “derma roller,” I make dozens of tiny punctures in the skin we are treating. The body perceives this as trauma, and its response is to repair and heal the area. The needled skin heals rapidly due to a drastic increase in the absorption of products. You end up with new skin that is more evenly textured and more naturally colored.

I use the derma roller for full-face treatments, and the microneedle for smaller areas around the mouth and eyes. Many women begin with treatments around the eyes or mouth and love the results, so they subsequently have me treat their whole face.

You can purchase a single treatment, a mini-series of three treatments, or a full series of six treatments. Package pricing is available for those who want to combine microneedling with other services. And don’t forget: there will be special microneedling treatment offers for those who attend my special event May 23!
