microneedling
A minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatment to promote collagen restructuring and reduce skin imperfections.
icroneedling is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment used to promote collagen restructuring in the dermal layers of the skin. At True Balance we offer the Eclipse MicroPen® – a handheld 12-tip micro-pen that vibrates at high power to pierce the superficial layer of your skin thousands of times over a few seconds. These piercings cause minor trauma to the epidermis which will stimulate collagen and elastin production to smooth and soften your skin.
The Eclipse MicroPen® penetrates deep into your epidermis and the upper layers of the dermis to stimulate the healing response which results in:
- A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Immediate improvement in skin texture
- A reduction in hyperpigmentation
- A more even skintone
- The elimination of acne and cystic acne
- A reduction of pockmarks and scarring
- A reduction of blackheads
- General skin exfoliation for better absorption of moisturizers
