This shows up as lax skin with fine lines and enlarged pores. Medical micro-needling creates micro trauma to the dermis which stimulates collagen and elastic fibre regeneration. The layer of blood caused by the needling contains platelet rich in growth stimulating hormones which further heightens the result. The procedure takes 60 minutes with no downtime.��The result is plumper looking skin with less lines within days of treatment. Cost �200.Smartxide Micro Laser Peel.

The result is a tighter skin with a smoother more even complexion. Cost �350.Anti wrinkle injections.
