At Okanagan Skin Care Centre, we are dedicated to bringing our clients the most exclusive, advanced and safest natural anti-aging therapies. Based on a comprehensive one-on-one consultation with one of our qualified Registered Nurses, we will be able to develop a customized microneedling treatment plan for you to ensure that all your aesthetic goals are met.
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive, safe anti aging treatment which, through a hand-held device, employs 12 ultra fine needles to break down the old scar tissue in your skin and stimulate skin cells to produce more collagen in the treated area. Not only does this reduce the appearance of fine lines and any unwanted wrinkles, it also encourages improved blood supply, helping you look and feel healthier, younger and much more refreshed.
Advantages
