Micro Needling | Salt Lake City, Utah

MICRO-NEEDLING

AKA Collagen Induction Therapy, creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin, with added exosomal human stem cells and growth factors and hyaluronic acid. This treatment replenishes the amount of collagen and elastin in a single treatment that is lost in a full year. A superior treatment for aging, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, pores, and scarring.

During this treatment the skin is topically numbed so that you are completely comfortable throughout the process. Since this treatment keeps the epidermis intact and is working primarily in the dermal layer, there is minimal downtime and discomfort. You may notice slight pink skin and sensitivity for up to 24-72 hours.
