Overview
What are Microneedling Treatments?
Microneedling uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin. This process activates the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production while improving product absorption.
At Elysium Chicago, microneedling is performed by trained providers who tailor treatment depth to your skin type and goals. The result is healthier, firmer, and more radiant skin without significant downtime.
