Microneedling Woodvale, Belfast

Micro channels are made on the skin to encourage the production of collagen resulting in fresher, younger looking skin.

This treatment is also known as ‘collagen induction therapy’ because it’s known for boosting collagen production in the skin, which can make it beneficial for a number of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles. Mirconeedling is a skin treatment which intentionally creates tiny punctures in the top layer of skin using micro-fine needles. Collagen is the protein that helps give our skin strength and elasticity, along with replacing dead skin cells. As we age, collagen production naturally begins to slow down which can lead to signs of aging (wrinkles, sagging skin, etc.). The controlled skin injuries produced by Microneedling send the skin into a repair mode that triggers the body to produce new collagen as well as elastin, which is another protein found in the skin that provides our skin with desirable elasticity. Microneedling also encourages the growth of fibroblasts, epithelial and endothelial cells, which can equate to a more even skin tone and a healthy glow.
