microneedling
microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses controlled micro-channels to support natural skin renewal. it helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, improves overall texture, and enhances the absorption of professional serums.
at darlum skin, microneedling is performed using the dr. pen a11 and sterile, professional-grade serums selected based on your skin goals.

products used
microneedling at darlum skin is performed using medical-grade sterile professional serums, curated to target cellular regeneration and structural skin health.
available serum components include:
• pdrn (polydeoxyribonucleotide)
salmon-derived DNA fragments that accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen synthesis at a cellular level.
• ha (hyaluronic acid)
multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to ensure deep hydration, restore the skin’s moisture barrier, and provide an immediate plumping effect.
• peptides
advanced amino acid chains that signal the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, improving firmness and refining the appearance of fine lines.
serums are selected individually during your appointment based on your skin condition and goals.
