Microneedling treatment utilizes a medical-grade device to address many skin issues, including loose skin, pore size, and stretch marks. This procedure improves the tone and texture of your skin while also breaking up unwanted pigmentation and even reducing the appearance of acne scars. We can enhance your appearance and change the complexion of your skin.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes fine needles to penetrate the surface of your skin and move evenly across your skin. Also, called skin needling or collagen induction therapy, microneedling helps your body to produce new healthy collagen, an essential protein that supports your skin, and elastin fibers that rejuvenate your skin for a firmer and smoother appearance.
At our Med Spa in Rancho Mirage Microneedling takes about half an hour and is more commonly applied to the face but can be effective in other parts of the body like reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scars on your legs. It can dramatically improve the tone, texture, and surface of your skin and provide you with a more youthful appearance.
