What is MicroNeedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates the body's own collagen production to address fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture and tone. Tiny needles create microchannels, and either hyaluronic acid or platelet rich plasma (PRP) is applied to nourish the skin as it heals.
Our skilled MicroNeedling treatment providers in Barrie will cleanse the face to prep the skin for treatment. Microneedling has been described as soft sandpaper being rubbed across the face, and is very tolerable. During treatment the skin may begin to feel tight, but this subsides quickly with the application of hyaluronic acid or PRP.
