Transform your skin with precision microneedling enhanced with hyaluronic acid, salmon DNA, or plant-based exosomes in Arlington Heights
Book Your ConsultationWhat Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your body's natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
At Lumiere Medspa in Arlington Heights, we elevate traditional microneedling by infusing premium serums during treatment hyaluronic acid, salmon DNA cocktail, or plant-based exosomes (EXO/E) to maximize results and address your specific skin concerns with precision and care.
