Any man or woman who is looking to stimulate brighter, firmer and more even skin on the face and neck can benefit from this micro needling treatment.​

At Secrets Medical Centre, this treatment uses tiny needles or micro-needles on a medical-grade roller that is moved over the skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced puncture wounds on the skin. This process encourages a wound healing response in the body, stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which helps the skin to thicken and “plump up”.​

The procedure can be performed on the face and body, and is suitable for all skin types, unlike some laser or chemical peel procedures. Microneedling allows the physician to quickly treat specific skin areas – large or small – to achieve a number of goals. It can be used to treat lip wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone and to reduce pore appearance. Microneedling technology works by inducing skin’s self-repair through micro-injuries. Whenever a superficial injury occurs, the skin destroys damaged tissues to replace them with fresh, healthy tissues.

Injuries caused to the skin at a controlled rate also trigger collagen and elastin production making the skin supple and smooth. The microneedling technique will reduce superficial facial wrinkles, improve skin texture on the neck, reduce acne and traumatic scarring as well as melasma and pigmentation. It is also excellent at treating stretch marks.
