What is microneedling with glowing serums?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. Those micro-injuries kick-start your skin's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Paired with glowing serums, the treatment goes a step further, enhancing hydration, nourishment and overall radiance.

How does the treatment work?

Microneedling process: our practitioners use a specialized device with fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This promotes collagen production and allows for deeper penetration of the serums applied afterward.

Application of glowing serums: after microneedling, we apply specially formulated serums enriched with vitamins, antioxidants and hydrating ingredients. These serums penetrate deeply into the skin through those fresh micro-channels, maximizing their effectiveness.

Benefits of microneedling with glowing serums

  • Enhanced skin texture: smooths and refines the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Increased collagen production: stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin.
  • Improved skin tone: evens out pigmentation, reduces dark spots and gives skin a healthy glow.
  • Minimized pore size: reduces the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother complexion.
  • Boosted hydration: deeply hydrates the skin, leaving it plump and radiant.

What to expect during the procedure

Before the procedure, we'll conduct a detailed consultation to understand your skin concerns and goals. During the treatment:

  • Preparation: your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
  • Microneedling: the device is gently moved across the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries.
  • Serum application: glowing serums are applied to the skin, taking full advantage of the micro-channels created during microneedling.

The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Afterward, you may notice mild redness and sensitivity, which usually settles within a few days.
