Microneedling | Knoxville

After 25, your body's natural collagen production starts to decline, which is part of what causes us to age. Microneedling helps stimulate the body's natural collagen production.

Collagen is a protein in your skin that gives it firmness and elasticity. This helps fight signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, and it can also help with acne scarring and enlarged pores, in general making your skin more youthful and smooth.

The treatment takes about 20 minutes, and the provider will apply a topical numbing cream to make sure you're comfortable throughout the process.
