DP4 Microneedling

Service Description

Microneedling is a great way to reverse the damage that time and external injuries have caused in the appearance of the skin. Creating controlled wound within the skin triggers the body's natural healing process that increases fibroblast activity and increases both cell turnover and cell proliferation to improve texture, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and improve elasticity in the skin.
