Microneedling / Vampire Facials

Microneedling, also known as a Vampire Facial, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by triggering the body’s self-healing mechanisms. A device with fine needles is used to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin during the healing process. This procedure can result in smoother, firmer, and more toned skin.

Following a successful consultation that deems you fit for the procedure, our esthetician will ask necessary health questions to prevent any complications. Before the procedure begins, your treatment area will be tidied up and prepped.
