Microneedling For Anti-Aging in Toronto
Microneedling is an excellent treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. It is a treatment which resurfaces the skin without laser or surgery and minimal downtime. Microneedling is a procedure which involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin. These tiny puncture wounds trigger the body’s natural healing response to heal these holes, in turn naturally producing collagen and elastin to tighten and improve the skins texture.
At Bellair Laser Clinic we use a handheld device, a pen-like device that delivers the highest level of skin treatment, without surgery. The Pen features a 6 mm replaceable Pen tip with 12 needles that apply treatments to the skin evenly. The microneedling treatment is complete with the application of hyaluronic acid which moisturizes the skin, restores its internal environment, and helps maintain natural functions in the skin.
Microneedling is a great option for anyone who wants to rejuvenate the skin, improve skin imperfections such as fine lines and wrinkles, and maintain a youthful appearance. It can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands. The treatment involves little to no discomfort or downtime. Depending on your skin condition, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired response and may be comfined with other anti-aging treatments.
