MICRONEEDLING

​

is a procedure designed specifically to invoke the healing response in your skin by causing micro trauma in a targeted way using a pen with a small head that contains 12 needles. It vibrates at high power and at certain depths (1mm to 2.5 mm) to pierce the superficial layer of your skin thousands of times over a few seconds. Micro-needling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks until you achieve the desired results. 

 

Micro-needling can:

​

• Improve wrinkles

• Minimize pore size

• Induce skin tightening

• Stimulates collagen production which promotes rejuvenation

• Improve surgical, traumatic, burn and acne scars, hyper-pigmentation (brown spots and melasma)

• Improve stretch marks

BB GLOW

​

Imagine waking up every morning with zero red spots and a perfectly even complexion. What would it feel like to have the look of a full base of makeup, every day. Think of how much time it would save to roll out of bed with foundation already on. That's the promise of BB Glow, a

light microneedling procedure that inserts semi-permanent plant based BB cream foundation into the skin for coverage that lasts!

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

​

The process is the same as microneedling, but lighter. The teeny needles force the skin to heal and build up stronger than before, while the device also deposits serum deeper into the skin. Instead of needling the skin with a vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, semi-permanent BB cream foundation is injected 1.5 mm deep into the skin. Think of it like a pigment tattoo for your entire face. The entire treatment, including 20 min of numbing, takes about 1h30 min.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

​

This treatment promises to provide your skin with light to medium coverage to hide your blemishes, redness and dark eye circles. 

A BB Glow Treatment is a safe and intensive skin treatment that can assist in reduction of the appearance of freckles and hyperpigmentation. It also helps with skin discoloration caused by acne, pimples, sun damage and aging.

 

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

​

If It's your first time, 1 to 2 weeks. All first-timers should come back for a for a 2nd session in about two weeks to get further coverage. To maximize the effectiveness and longevity of BB Glow, it's recommended that you start with a series, once every 2-4 weeks. After the initial series, the results of your BB Glow treatment can last up to 4 months. With proper maintenance, the effect can last even longer (8 months approximately).
