Skin Resurfacing vs Microneedling
  • Medical Micro Skin Needling is an alternative to Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing, which literally involves burning the superficial layer of the skin, resulting in redness, swelling, discomfort and down time (recovery or healing time) of 6 weeks or more. Many clients find the recovery time unsatisfactory and a gross infringement to their lifestyle, despite the treatment giving outstanding results.
  • Skin Resurfacing by Skin needling (collagen induction therapy) is our alternative to ABLATIVE LASER Skin Resurfacing. It is similar in result to Fraxel laser resurfacing - it is just as effective at a fraction of the cost.​
