MICRONEEDLING
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and overall appearance. By creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin using fine needles, Microneedling encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, youthful skin. This treatment is highly effective for reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone, leaving you with a smoother, more radiant complexion.
HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?
Microneedling involves using a device equipped with fine needles that create micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Additionally, these micro-channels enhance the absorption of topical serums and growth factors applied during the procedure, boosting their effectiveness. The result is skin that looks rejuvenated, with improved texture, reduced scars, and a brighter overall tone.
