什么是 is Microneedling?

Before we get 到 specifics, it might help 到 know...uh...well...what even is microneedling?!

Microneedling is facial procedure that falls 的 same general family as Botox 和 vampire facial--but it's actually way less invasive than most other clinical facials.

Microneedling is also known as "collagen induction therapy," 和 is quick cosmetic procedure that's used 到 target wrinkles, lines, 和 other signs 的 aging.

To perform procedure, trained clinician will use tool made up 的 loads 的 tiny needles that poke surface 的 skin all over.

Seems little silly, right?

The microneedling treatment itself typically lasts 的 20 到 40 minutes. Your clinician will start process by washing skin 和 applying serum.

Typically, they'll begin microneedling on forehead or temples, as this area is often most sensitive 的 whole process.

Once 你的 entire face has been treated (你的 clinician may run over problem areas like smile lines or crow's feet several additional times 到 ensure effective penetration), another serum will be applied.

That's it!
