Add-Ons
What Is Microneedling?
Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, Microneedling is Spectrums most advanced facial procedure! During the microneedling portion of this luxurious facial treatment, a handheld automated device with disposable tips containing 12 micro-needles contacts the skin performing microscopic injuries. This process signals our skins’ natural healing response to produce new collagen – an essential structural 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. Think of microneedling as the upgrade from caring for your skin to actually remodelling it.
Benefits of Microneedling
- Increases collagen production.
- Brightens complexion, giving youthful and fresh appearance.
- Plump and deeply hydrates skin.
- Diminish fine lines & tightens the skin.
- Treat pigmentation such as acne scaring or sunspots.
- Fades scars & stretch marks.
- Lymphatic drainage de-puffs the face.
- Improves skin texture – treats scars like acne pitting.
Essential Microneedling
This clinical treatment offers a skin rejuvenation focused approach that harnesses the established collagen producting benefits of microneedling. It begins with a comprehensive cleanse and meticulous skin preparation, followed by the application of professional microneedling techniques. A soothing cold cryoglobe facial massage, paired with a moisture-infusing mask is then applied to enhance recovery and nourishment for the skin.
This service is particularly beneficial for clients aiming to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, minimize enlarged pores, and address issues such as acne scarring, stretch marks, loss of skin elasticity, dark spots, and overall skin quality. It provides a straightforward, results-driven solution for various skin concerns.
