This simple procedure diminishes stubborn lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, and stretch marks, using a device with fine surgical steel needles. Treatment areas include the eyes and mouth, sometimes the entire face, around the belly button, and areas on the breast and abdomen where stretch marks and crepiness can exist. The result of needling is a stimulation of collagen and elastin production that ultimately smoothest skin and promotes scar or stretch mark reduction through the skin’s natural ability to self-heal.
