What is Microneedling treatment?

At london medical and aesthetics. we use a patented microneedle disposable cartridge with 14 state-of-the-art smooth Japanese needles in the cartridge tip for microneedling treatment. These fine needles puncture the skin in a minimally invasive way. This stimulates the skin’s healing process, causing it to produce collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin make up the support structure of the skin, so the boosted production helps improve the appearance of scars and wrinkles. We use SkinPen® in our clinics.
