To activate the skin’s natural healing process, Regenerative Microneedling consists of three simple steps. Each session results in the skin rejuvenating and reviving itself. The treatment may be recommended in a series. Activating the creation of new tissue – Microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, which triggers a natural immune response that disinfects, removes debris, increases blood flow, and starts the creation of new tissue.New cells, including collagen proteins, are inserted into the microchannels created by microneedling. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels is formed. Collagen and elastin proteins are formed as new dermal tissues form. Skin is left smooth, radiant, and youthful-looking thanks to these proteins, which reduce acne scarring on the face and wrinkles on the neck.
