This cosmetic procedure may help support the skin’s natural appearance by encouraging natural processes.

Dr. Lucas De Siqueira delivers a precise and personalised cosmetic approach that may help support smoother, firmer and more radiant-appearing skin, while preserving your natural beauty.

What Is Microneedling / Skin Needling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.

This cosmetic procedure may help trigger the skin’s natural processes, which may assist in maintaining the appearance of:

Texture Enhancement

May help support the appearance of smoother texture and refined pores for a more polished-looking complexion.

Collagen Support

May help encourage the skin's natural processes that support the appearance of firmness and elasticity.

Clarity Enhancement

May help support the appearance of improved skin tone and natural radiance for a brighter-looking complexion.

**This is a cosmetic treatment. Individual results may vary, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.**

This cosmetic treatment may be suitable for a wide range of cosmetic concerns, from dullness and uneven texture appearance to fine lines, enlarged pores and mild scarring appearance.

How Microneedling Works

During this cosmetic treatment, it creates micro-punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-channels may help activate natural skin processes, potentially encouraging deeper layers to maintain their natural function.

This cosmetic procedure may help with:

The appearance of skin texture

May help softening fine lines and smoothing uneven or rough areas.

Maintaining skin's natural appearance

May help for firmer, stronger and more resilient skin.

Supporting your cosmetic skincare goals

Individual results may vary based on personal factors including age, skin type, lifestyle and treatment consistency.
