Microneedling Facial and Express Microneedling Facial
In Mount Pleasant, SC
Renewed Skin, Backed by Your Body's Own Repair Process
Microneedling is clinically proven to help stimulate collagen and elastin, with minimal downtime, and is an investment in your skin’s long-term health. It’s great for acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, giving your skin a brighter, smoother complexion.
Microneedling works by our esthetician using a handheld medical device to create micro-injuries that trigger fresh collagen, for smoother texture from the inside out. Each session is customized to your skin type and concerns, and serums applied during treatment absorb more deeply through the tiny channels the device creates.
Benefits of Microneedling
Patients turn to this microneedling treatment for texture, tone, and scarring that skincare alone can’t fully resolve.
Rebuilds From Within
Tiny, controlled needles prompt your skin's collagen induction therapy response, supporting new collagen and elastin.
Softens Acne Scars and Fine Lines
As new collagen forms, scars and fine lines gradually look shallower and less noticeable.
A Refined, Even Canvas
Skin needling smooths rough patches and minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores.
