The way it works is very simple!! A topical anesthetic is applied first to numb the area. Then, Nikki will use very fine needles to create enough of an injury to force the skin to heal. As it heals, it fills in any imperfections and smooths out areas damaged from acne, injury including self harm & surgical scars or stretch marks. This process is sometimes referred to as INKLESS TATTOING. Because the fine needles stimulate the bodies natural melanin to repigement damaged areas void of melanin. 
The process breaks the tissue down and as it reforms, it comes back smooth. The process stimulates collagen as well, which we all know gives the skin an over all boost we are all looking for. This process is often a necessary step prior to covering the scars with tattoos. 
  Nikki started using this technique in 2005 on scars, after she became certified in scar repair. She has also used microneedlign  on the face for fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots and over all better skin texture and rejuvenation since 2011and after additional education and certification. Please see the facail rejuvenation page to see these phenonmenal results.   Check out the before and after photos on the Areola and 3d nipple page too, there are many more examples where Nikki has used microneedling to repair scars for a more pleasing asthetic.
