What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a specialized device with fine, ultra-thin needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny, virtually painless punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, triggering collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture, tone, and overall quality. Microneedling helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, leaving your skin smoother and more youthful.

The treatment can address uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, promoting a more even complexion. Microneedling can reduce the size of enlarged pores, giving your skin a refined and more polished look. The microchannels created during microneedling allow for better absorption of skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness. Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for those with busy lifestyles.
