...Cellstory eliminates the pain, bleeding, swelling and irritation often associated with microneedling. Cellstory helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (specifically around the mouth, eyes, and forehead), acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture. "It gives an overall healthy, supple, [and] bouncy glow.

...My skin looked, in the best way I can describe it, WOW. It was the cleanest and smoothest it has ever looked after a treatment. It was something beyond a miracle. In the hours following the treatment, the redness faded. The next morning, my skin looked healthy, glowy, and there wasn't a pore in sight.
