Microneedling and its many uses!

Microneedling has become incredibly popular lately, but what exactly is it, and does it deliver on its promises?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate the body's natural collagen production and rejuvenates the skin. Microneedling is great for improving skin texture, reducing hyperpigmentation, boosting collagen, treating scars, and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
While it's not a quick fix and usually requires a series of sessions, the results are well worth it!
This week's podcast episode is all about microneedling! Join me as I discuss everything from its benefits, potential risks, and why it has become a popular skincare trend.
What is microneedling?(2:10)
Things that Microneedling can treat (5:54)

What comes to mind when you think about "self-image"? Our self-image essentially consists of the labels we attach to ourselves, some based on reality and others not so much!
