An easy and non-invasive way to achieve cleaner skin, micro-needling is a popular treatment. At Modern Medi Spa, our team of trained professionals perform this treatment quickly, efficiently, and will leave your skin glowing.
It keeps you rejuvenated, helping your skin to refresh itself and maintain a youthful complexion that you feel comfortable with. It is completely safe, as well as FDA and Health Canada Approved for your peace of mind.
Micro-needling targets:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
How does it work?
It is a non-surgical procedure, which means you are in and out the same day. The process is known as microdermabrasion. This is where the skin is given tiny injuries in the form of pinpricks that encourage the production of collagen to help rejuvenate the skin.
It uses a pen that moves over the face, removing the thick outer layer of skin so that it can be replaced with renewed tone and texture. Since the body is being encouraged to create new skin tissue, there is often more collagen to boost firmness.
There are no lasers or needles, which results in greater comfort for you throughout the procedure. In total, it only tends to last a couple of hours and you will find that it has lasting effects that leave you feeling refreshed.
Features include:
- Not invasive and has no downtime
- Safe for everyone, even those in poor health
- Quick and easy procedure with no surgery required
- Can be used to treat acne scars and other facial wounds
