Microneedling, particularly with the Candela Exceed device, offers minimally invasive rejuvenation to the skin. It creates micropunctures in the top layer of skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates collagen and elastin production. This procedure can be applied to various areas, including the face, neck, and décolletage, to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture. Treatments like this are ideal for improving skin appearance and health, regardless of age or skin type.
Skin Needling is particularly effective for those looking to reduce signs of aging, reduce scarring, and improve skin texture and tone. Results can become noticeable within a few weeks after the initial treatment, with improvements continuing as the skin heals and generates new collagen. The effects of this collagen induction therapy can last several months and be extended with additional sessions.
