🔹Stretch Marks
🔹Skin tone & Enlarged pores
🔹Hyperpigmentation
🔹Sun Damage
🔹Collagen Deficiency

FAQ.
DOES MICRONEEDLING HURT ?
Microneedling can cause mild discomfort but it’s generally not considered painful. Many describe the sensation as a mild pricking/vibrating sensation. As a practitioner I would always be checking in to ensure that the procedure is tolerable.
DOES MICRONEEDLING CAUSE BLEEDING?
Generally you may get one or two blood spots but no blood and gore like you see on social media or horror stories you hear. The correct needles and depth should be used, any practioner with good training will understand this ensuring there is no unnecessary skin damage.

Vitamin Injections
Injection VS Tablets
Vitamin injections are far more effective than tablets. This is because supplements are not as effectively absorbed by our bodies through ingestion compared to injections. Resulting in the level of Vitamin to rise much faster meaning results are normally quicker and much more effective.
All vitamins are administered Intramuscularly via the Deltoid or Gluteus muscle.
