Skin Needling

Overview

About This Treatment

Skin needling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to support skin rejuvenation by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process encourages natural collagen activity and helps improve overall skin texture, tone, and firmness. The treatment is suitable for various areas of the face and body and is performed using a sterile, medical-grade device. The treatment works to: • Support collagen and elastin activity • Improve overall skin texture and smoothness • Enhance skin tone and radiance • Assist in the appearance of mild scarring and fine lines All new treatments at Olive Skin Aesthetics require an initial consultation to discuss suitability and treatment plans.
