What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture and firmness.
