What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes tiny sterilized needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. By encouraging their production, microneedling can improve the appearance of various skin concerns.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling treatment, a handheld device with fine needles gently glides across the skin. The needles create tiny punctures, causing minimal bleeding and discomfort. The body responds to these micro-injuries by initiating a wound healing process. This process involves increased collagen and elastin production, which helps to:

• Thicken the skin: Collagen plumps up the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

• Improve skin texture: Microneedling can address concerns like acne scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores.

• Enhance elasticity: Increased elastin production leads to firmer and tighter skin.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers a range of benefits for the skin, including:

• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
