SkinPen® Microneedling
Sous La uses this FDA-approved procedure to create hundreds of “micro” skin punctures to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response triggering new collagen synthesis. These small openings allow for sterile hyaluronic acid to absorb deep within the skin and achieve results with minimal downtime and maximum results.
