Electric Microneedling
Electric microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a motorized pen device with fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
With electric microneedling, the needles move vertically with adjustable depth, offering greater precision, less skin trauma, and shorter recovery time. Dermarollers use a manual rolling action, which can cause more surface damage and discomfort.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most people experience only mild pressure or a slight prickling sensation. The level of comfort depends on your pain tolerance and the needle depth used.
Noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone often appear after 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Some people see a glow and smoother skin even after the first session.
