I offer a few various peel options depending on your goals. One of my go-to favorites is the PCA Sensi peel, perfect for all skin types, including sensitive ones.

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates your skin by using fine needles to stimulate natural healing. This boosts collagen and elastin production, essential for firm, youthful skin. The treatment also improves serum absorption, enhancing the benefits of skin care products. It’s especially effective for scars and large pores. Most people experience minimal discomfort thanks to a numbing cream applied beforehand, and downtime is short. For optimal results, we recommend 3-5 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

It can be used for hair growth as well. The treatment releases benefits gradually for lasting effects. We recommend hydrating well before your session and planning for a series of three treatments, each spaced six weeks apart.
