Just in time for summer and the fine lines, wrinkles and other skin damage the sun may cause and to generally improve overall skin texture and firmness year-round, Holistic Health Rhode Island, in East Greenwich, has added micro- and nano-needling to its array of services. While both procedures—personalized based on each client’s needs—use a needling pen to create micro-channels in the skin, nano-needling only punctures the first layer of the skin while micro-needling penetrates into the deep dermis.

Nano-needling is particularly suitable for treating fine lines and wrinkles, swelling, dark pigmentation or sagging skin. Those concerned with deep wrinkles, hypo-pigmentation, stretch marks or deep acne scars should consider micro-needling.

The creation of micro-channels in the skin can increase product absorption by 97 percent and encourages the body to rejuvenate itself as its natural collagen and elastin production is stimulated and skin begins to heal itself naturally, reducing fine lines, dark spots and wrinkles.
