SkinPen
The SkinPen is the only FDA-approved technology for microneedling. With increased safety, faster recovery time, and better results, the SkinPen is preferred by many.
Microneedling uses technology that is designed to stimulate collagen production. It allows the skin to naturally improve cell turnover thus creating a more youthful and glowing complexion that appears brighter and with tighter skin.

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Every client has different skin concerns and different expectations. This is why we recommend to come in for a client consultation before making a decision.
