Microneedling is one of the most effective rejuvenation treatments for achieving smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Microneedling is a rejuvenating treatment that creates microchannels in the skin to spark fresh collagen and elastin. At The Tox Bar, we use the FDA-cleared SkinPen, a medical-grade device known for precision, safety, and beautifully consistent results .It helps with:

 Skin Texture & Tone

  • Reduces roughness and improves overall smoothness
  • Brightens dull or uneven skin tone
  • Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

 Fine Lines & Wrinkles

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin
  • Softens fine lines and early signs of aging

 Acne Scars & Large Pores

  • Breaks down scar tissue over time
  • Minimizes enlarged pores and improves skin tightness

 Stretch Marks

  • Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks with repeated sessions

 Product Absorption

  • Channels allow serums, PRP, or growth factors to penetrate deeper for enhanced results

Microneedling is safe for all skin types and offers natural, gradual improvement with little downtime. 

How often to get it

  • Initial sessions: A series of treatments is typically needed to achieve optimal results, with sessions usually spaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Number of sessions: A minimum of three to four sessions is common, but this can vary depending on the skin concern being treated.
  • Maintenance: After the initial treatment course, maintenance sessions are recommended, often once a year, to help preserve the desired results.
