How it Works

Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. At Cosmedica Australia, we use the SkinPen, a medical-grade micro-needling device that is known for its precision and effectiveness. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
