Skin Resurfacing & Rejuvenation in NYC Using Microneedling and Chemical Peels

Image
  Microneedling works by creating miro-injuries to the skin so that in response to the micro-injuries the skin produces collagen and elastin and thus improving the skin’s appearance. Microneedling can help resurface the skin, help with scarring, even out uneven skin tone and texture, and tighten the skin. As we age, we lose approximately 1% of the amount of collagen in our skin on our face each year. This leads to thinning, aging, sagging, dull, and fragile skin.
