Add-Ons
What Is Microneedling?
Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, Microneedling is Spectrums most advanced facial procedure ! After a thorough cleansing, microdermabrasion is performed all over the face in order to unclog pores, buff and to properly prep your skin for the microneedling procedure. During the microneedling portion, a handheld automated device with disposable tips containing 12 micro-needles then contacts the skin performing microscopic injuries. This process signals our skins’ response to produce new collagen – an essential protein that diminishes with age. In turn, the new collagen noticeably decreases scarring, fine/deep lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, increases elasticity and reduces stretch marks. After the needling treatment, a cold globe massage is performed, followed by clinically studied serums, finishing cream and SPF to vasoconstrict, soothe, and protect the skin!
Benefits of Microneedling
- Increases collagen production.
- Brightens complexion, giving youthful and fresh appearance.
- Plump and deeply hydrates skin.
- Diminish fine lines & tightens the skin.
