Microneedling, the natural alternative to Botox

Cosmetic companies have made a good living selling products to treat fine lines and wrinkles. It’s hit or miss on the efficacy of most of these products, and not only do they tend be very expensive the results are temporary at best.

It’s for these exact reasons women and men alike turn to Botox for it’s instant results.

But what is Botox? How does it really work? Is it safe? And the all important question, is there an alternative?

Botox is a brand name drug prepared from bacterial toxin botulin used mainly to temporarily stop muscles in the face from contracting and moving. This lack of movement from the facial muscles reduces the appearance of wrinkles and if treated consistently can prevent wrinkles from occurring.

There is no denying that when you leave the doctors office after Botox treatment you see results right away however in the treated areas your face no longer moves(no expression) and not to mention you just injected your face with a toxin. A toxin that if administered incorrectly is very dangerous. 

Though Botox does treat fine lines and wrinkles it does not treat, elasticity or plumpness of the skin, dark spots and sun damage, overall tone and texture of the skin basically all the real signs of aging.

What if I told you there was a safe natural alternative that stimulates your own collagen and elasticity to rejuvenate your skin. Microneedling basically heals your skin from the inside out!

Microneedling puts your skin to work by inducing it’s own natural collagen and elasticity, creating firm, supple, younger skin. This results in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the appearance of pores, diminishes scars and stretch marks, and improves skin tone and texture.

Unlike Botox, microneedling treats all areas of the face, neck, chest and body. After all our neck and chest should look at good as our face.

The procedure uses a pen-like device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. It’s the healing process of these tiny punctures that triggers your body to naturally create it’s own collagen and elastin fibres. Microneedling may also be combined with a topical treatment, like a vitamin-rich serum for better results!

Depending on your skin and the areas we are treating we recommend 4-6 treatments spaced out 4 weeks apart.
