MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin—two essential building blocks for youthful, radiant skin. Aka collagen production therapy. It works by creating millions of tiny microchannels in the skin using ultra-fine needles. This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the essential proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

As the skin heals, you'll notice improved texture, tone, and clarity. These microchannels also enhance the absorption of targeted serums, allowing powerful ingredients to penetrate deeper for even better results.

This treatment visibly improves:
✨ Skin texture and tone
✨ Fine lines and wrinkles
✨ Hyperpigmentation & hypopigmentation
✨ Acne and acne scarring
✨ Stretch marks
✨ Sun damage and age spots

The DP4 Microneedling device is FDA-cleared for the treatment of facial acne scarring, and is also approved by Health Canada, ensuring it meets the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
