Microneedling is safe, essentially painless, minimally invasive and highly effective. It uses tiny needles which superficially prick the skin causing tiny puncture wounds that activate your skin’s natural healing response to repair itself… better! This trauma alone stimulates collagen production, but various products can be micro-needled into the skin to provide even more potent effects.

Dr Heather uses various serums containing things such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins, and also PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) with her microneedling treatments. When PRP is micro-needled into the skin, this is otherwise known as a vampire facial. It involves the patient having their blood taken, which is then spun in a centrifuge to extract the ‘liquid gold’ PRP. The liquid gold contains platelets which release growth factors that help to promote cellular replacement and regeneration, and healing of tissues. 

Microneedling is highly effective at treating acne scars, wrinkles, dull skin, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, cellulite and stretch marks.
