What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that involves using tiny needles to puncture the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, prompting it to produce more collagen and elastin, which can help improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections.

How it works
-
Needle penetration: A device, either a handheld roller or an automated pen-like device, with multiple fine needles is used to create tiny punctures in the skin's surface.
-
Collagen and elastin stimulation:
These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that contribute to skin elasticity and firmness.
-
Improved skin texture and tone:
As the skin heals, it can appear smoother, more even-toned, and with reduced appearance of wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores.
-
Enhanced product absorption:
The micro-channels created by the needles can also allow for better absorption of topical serums and other skincare products
