Youth is yours

MICRONEEDLING AT CACI, AUCKLAND

What is it? Microneedling is a treatment that’s performed by experienced skin technicians using tiny needles of varying lengths to penetrate the skin, triggering the body’s healing response. The idea is that when skin becomes compromised, the body starts to produce collagen tissue. Over time this results in stronger, firmer collagen fibres, creating more youthful-looking skin with an improved texture and tone.

Until now, treatments saw a small needled roller guided over the face, but with Caci’s recent introduction of a more high-tech device using microneedles and electro-currents, the results are more effective and consistent. The needles are set at optimal levels of penetration, and the ability to adjust around sensitive or tricky-to-reach areas makes it a good alternative to more intensive laser treatments. At Caci,
