When it comes to skin care it can be overwhelming figuring out where to start. We've put together a patient guide to help you navigate your first step to healthy skin.
Let's talk micro-needling
Of course with this economy, a lot of people are resorting to at home micro-needling with a Derma roller. While the Derma roller is the more affordable option, here’s why you need professional micro-needling with a pen.

Derma roller : Cons🚫
• Limited depth penetration. This makes it less effective for deeper scars and wrinkles
• Less precise - making it difficult to target specific areas
• Can cause micro-tears in the skin due to dragging motion.

Can be very expensive, however, a great investment to your skin.
It’s important to stay informed and educate yourself before performing at home micro-needling. Professional micro-needling is highly recommended by an experienced provider.
